Hello Everyone! I acquired a used glass 220 gallon (72x24x29) aquarium that I'm debating what to do with. It will need to be resealed. I've resealed a pair of 90 gallon (48x24x24) aquariums in the past with no issues, but I can't find anywhere online where someone has had great success resealing tanks as big or bigger than the 220G, so I have two paths I've been playing around with.
Plan A: I currently have a 125 gallon (72x18x24) aquarium with 1 severum, 1 blue acara, 1 sailfin pleco, 4 geophagus sveni, and 6 silver dollars. Everyone is about 3-5 years old and close to full size.
I originally planned on upgrading everyone to the 220G but they seem comfortable in the 125G and I'm hesitant to fill the 220G all the way to the top due to head pressure/leaking concerns which is where plan B comes in.
Plan B: Turn the 220G into a heavily planted paludarium and only fill the tank about 2/3 with water and the remaining 1/3 being emergent plant growth. Stocking plans would be 8 Congo Tetras, 8 Denison Barbs, 8 Boesemani Rainbowfish, 8 Kuhli Loaches, 6 Golden Wonder Killifish, 1 Pearl Gourami, 6 Bamboo Shrimp, and 6 Whiptail Catfish.
What are everyone's thoughts? Thanks for reading!
