ryanjury Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Thats a big tank! Whats it going to be made of? And more importantly whats going in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Um I'm not sure of details yet cos I've only just started planning. It's gonna be the largest of three tanks in the room. I was thinking angels and discus as the main fish with roseline sharks, some other middle dwelling fish that I haven't decided on yet, loaches, cories and SAE. One of the smaller tanks is going to be dedicated to tetras and the other to cichlids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.qian Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Congragulations, that is one MASSIVE tank. For me personally, with a tank that size, I would put in a huge group of clown loaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I love clown loaches that's why they'll get to go in the big tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Just out of curiosity (and possibly stealing great ideas) what would others do with a tank this size if money wasn't an issue??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 massive schools of hundreds of tight shoaling fish, and discus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.qian Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Big fish definitely. But on the other hand, a densely planted tank with hundreds of small schooling fish will look stunning. But that will definitely cost lots, especially all the plants.

Emily Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 African cichlids Do you have any idea the logistics and cost of a tank that size?You mean like the 1000 GPD RO System, reservoir and the hard plumbing needed just for the water changes and that all up it's gonna cost more than some peoples homes? It's gonna be a long hard road but it'll be so worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 if it was me I would go native marine! It would not be much more difficult than a freshwater tank and the additional costs would be negligble in terms of the costs you would be talking to fully plant out a tank this size. The only extras would be a nice big DIY Skimmer and feeder pumps, a big watter barrell and trailer to pump NSW and a chiller. If you kept it in a well situated place with plenty of insulation it would probably cost less annually than heating a tropical tank... and finally, all the rocks, kina, fish, starfish, anemones, crabs etc are all FREE!!! althouh 2000 Cardinals would look nice too!
