18' x 9' x 3.5' catfish tank build in progress.....

[basslover34]

I'll keep that in mind. Not as good of progress as I wanted, but hey I'm glad I got to do anything! Welcome back!!!

You wouldn't catch me feeding those things ... mostly fat

It's good to see it on the ground and the top braces...Personally I think you've gotten the hard part done and it's all just a question of Funds at this point as everything else is pretty easy as far as the labour goes. I'm sure your drill is thanking you right now since all thats really left is driving the screws for the ply and drilling a couple of .... prob rather large holes...ok so maybe it's not thanking you just yet LOL.

Thanks for the Welcome Back... it's good to be back... I always need a vacation after my vacations though always more tired than before I went LOL.

To all the Members from the UK... I now feel your Pain for finding good fish there... you guys get SCREWED ROYALLY... even the "Public Aquariums" don't offer much in terms of seeing OMG Fish... Was nice to see a Pair of 5 and 6 foot Wels cats... but that and the 4' TSN was about as good as it got... I'll post pics and vids at a later time in the Catfish section so stay tuned for that!

Awesome, that is going to be a nice setup. Everyone should have plenty of room to live happy.

Let's hope so I'd hate to upgrade again after a year or two lol.

This is going to be a monster! This tank setup rocks. I even like the stocklist. Can't go wrong with Jags and Oscars.

Yeah, and the best part about them is they were all free except two. I've kinda become the local oscar rescue center for oscars kept in way too small tanks.

Yeah I think the tough part is finished as well. At least until I get around to sealing it. lol. That tsn sounds sweet. How did your fish do while you were gone?

They did great actually... only really lost a Small Plec... and a couple of my limas that I had a thought wouldn't make it anyway since they were so sensative to water params.. I needed to do water changes every other day or they would start to basically "Fall apart" they would lose their whiskers and they wouldn't eat... it was expected so it wasn't so bad really...(I have more on order already though )

Great to see everything is in play man. Love the tank, I am using your tank as a guide for when I build my 10' long X 4-6' wide X 2-3' tall.

Thanks,

You'll have to keep us updated on that monster of a tank. I didn't get to do anything to mine today, but here's a video I haven't posted yet.

Don't you watch Futurama? Mermaids don't make love, they lay eggs and leave the room so you can fertilize them!

And yeah, it'a bit weird.
