this tank is built like a... well like a tank! There is a framework of 2x4's inside the plywood walls. The plywood itself screwed together probably would be strong enough (screws edgewise into 3/4 plywood are surprisingly strong), but I wanted to have an overlap in all the corners for sealing and extra strength.I'm working on my list right now. I think an albino oscar, a Blue Acara or two, a couple of severum (probably red-shouldered), a gold nugget or a pictus cat. I'm thinking a small school of firemouths for dither.CichlidAddict;964576; said:
Thanks! The tank is 5.5' long, 3' tall, and 2' deep. There rear corners are cut off to provide room for plumbing behind the tank, so that coupled with wall thicknesses, etc. works out to about 185 gallons actual interior volume. The sump is around 70gal total volume, but will probably only run 20-30 gallons when it's operating.JonF;964693; said:
