5ft Tank in Honda Jazz

[Proteus]

So the question is...

Will a 5ft x 2.5ft tank fit in a Honda Jazz?

And be able to be driven...

I am sure Illusion can answer this question...

RFLMAO

[mcloughlin2]

Sounds interesting. Any pictures of this? :lol:

[DiscusDave]

I'd like to see you take a corner in it :D

[AHC]

My answer is yes. You'd be surprised how roomy these pocket cars can be.

Would i like to do it? - No. Id be sweating it up big time.

[AHC]

....wait... did you do it Jothy? Dont tell me you're turning it into a cot for the new bubba? Its not like breeding fish you know!

[Proteus]

My answer is yes. You'd be surprised how roomy these pocket cars can be.

Would i like to do it? - No. Id be sweating it up big time.

Yes, it was done, and with 2 adult Males in the front seats... well, what normally is called the front seats.

[XPLOSV]

seen ILLUSN done it
i couldn't believe my eyes
lmao

[ILLUSN]

Ken yours was only a 6x2x1.5, easy as, i could even adjust the radio if i wanted to. BTW your tank is still at my place waitng for you.

yes i did it, no it wasn't comfortable but eaisly doable. will upload pics tonight

Those pocket cars actually fit bulky goods better than some larger cars.

I have fit 50inch TVs vertically in some pocket cars (out of the box).

[Robdog]

Ramraiding still profitable then fitty?? ;)

[ILLUSN]

OK heres the deal, Proteus was nice enough to sell me and Scott his 2 5 foot tanks, Scotts is a 5x2x2.5 mines a 5x2.5x2.3 open top, we had Dad and the ute which took the 2 cabs and my tank, Scotts tank had to go into the Jazz.

with seats full forward it was a bit of a squeeze getting in

[ILLUSN]

more ....

love the last shot with the seatbelt.

[ILLUSN]

total cargo for the trip was 1 tank 5x2x2.5, 2x seachem safe (1kg) 6x lids for the tank wraped in newespaper, sera ph computer, 36w pond master UV, ~3000l/h pump, 4x glass suckers with boxes, jager 300w heater and 2 idiots with no idea what they were getting themselves in for :)

will upload photos of getting the cabinet and tank into the house amazing how you fit an 78cm wide cabinet through a 76cm door frame.

[mcloughlin2]

That's gold. :lol:

I'm envious of your new equipment though! :evil:

[Mattzilla]

i'm not surprised hahahhahahahahaa


good one Jothy

i might have to come over to see these monsters

[AHC]

HAHAHA holey crap. Thats too funny. Its got to be a new Honda advertisement. Thats the same size as my tank and there is no way i would do it. You are too crazy!!!

[ILLUSN]

Just wait till you see the photos of the bigger tank being moved into the house.

almost had to put a sledgehammer to the wall to get the damn thing in.

[XPLOSV]

LOL this is EPIC,
I'm coming over next weekend to see this baby if your free.

[dean_alicia]

WOW.. thats great...... thats why they call us Enthusiasts....

[Proteus]

WOW.. thats great...... thats why they call us Enthusiasts....


Enthusiasts... pffffft

Addicts I say...

And to think, the 2 tanks I parted with over the weekend were my small tanks....

(just need to find a way to sneak a 7 x 3ft tank inside to go alongside the other 7ft and 6ft tank - Giant Gourami's do need there space after all...)

[ILLUSN]

sing out when you need a hand.

[Proteus]

sing out when you need a hand.

lol... I will...

You know the opposition I have for this idea... maybe a weekend shopping trip for someone to Melbourne (fully paid for of course) might be just the solution for such a project.

:wink:

Ramraiding still profitable then fitty?? ;)

Judging by the number of often useless yet expensive gadgets I have, I would have to say yes :lol: :lol: :lol:

[scott bowler]

overdue update of getting this thing into the house, 1st off we had to get the cabinet in problem its 3cm widre than the door way, so bits had to come off.

[ILLUSN]

next up tank was cleaned up, and brought in the same way, it being slightly thinner then the cabinet it went in no problems, 80L of blue gircle pool filter sand was washed and added along with a big bit of wood from Proteus.

the sump was placed, me being an idiot forgot to put down foam and scratched the inside of the cab. sump was filled with media 10L of pond matix 20L of hydroton and a few bits of biomat and white wool.

a phosban reactor was aded and filled with 500ml of purigen. it runs off an eheim compact 600l/h pump dialed right down with a flow rate of 50l/h.

a 5000l/h sedra pondmaster pump is used on the return and again dialed right down to bout 2000l/h and 2 jager 300w heaters added.

as the tank was going to house Geo's lids were needed these were cut from 6mm glass and some brushed aluminium handels added to the top to match the corner strips and light.

25mm pvc was used for the plumbing and 19mm flexi hose for the return heres some photos of the finished product by day and night thanks to the aqualina 5 foot double CF unit with moonlight.

[ILLUSN]

some photos of the fish.

A massive thank you to Proteus for the tank, Dad, Shane and Brian for the help getting it in, Ben at AOA for rushing the light to me, Mattzilla for the Tocantins and leucosticta, Scott Bowler for the 3 Rio Branco's and the boys at Auburn aquarium for special ordering the anubias.

[Mattzilla]

wow looks great mate!!!!

[ILLUSN]

Thanks buddy, its your fish that make the tank :)

excellent stock as always!!!

[AHC]

Saw it on Sunday. Its a very nice and sleek setup. Very jealous.

[simmo2302]

lol that is amazing

this is why i have a honda odyssey 6 seater, the rear bench seat folds down into the floor, and the 2 middle bucket seats come totally out, so its nothing but flat floor from tail gate to driver & passenger seats.

i cant remember exactly but its somthing like 2.5meters long (atleast) x 1 meter wide (or 1.1 cant remember) x how eva high the interior is.
