Was going to, but can't find any. Not even adults. Would love a jag and possibly a flowerhorn. To go with my oscar and gibb. Was going to get a saratoga, but will think a bit more.

I dunno were on the gold coast you live, but some Aquarium Warehouse stores located at Labrador and Southport may just stock some Jags. Ring them up first or see if you can get them to order one in.

Excellent Tank!!!!!! RAWLO :headbang2


I am in planning stage for 2200 liter tank 10ft x 4ft x 2.5ft. Should be starting to get materials next couple of weeks.

Will be getting some fiberglassing materials end of the week so I can try fiberglassing, never done it before so it should be interesting to see how I go.


I already have my stand built. Picture of Stand with 6x2x2

Do i understand right that inside the tank was first fiberglassed , then over that 2 thick coats of epoxy? Looking at the photo the fiberglass was just the resin. No mesh was used is this correct? Thanks in advance.

Is the foam the kind you get from Home Depot? I if so how long did you let it cure before you painted it? Tank looks awesome, great job!

No its there. Once you add the resin its becomes very transparent. Really cool stuff when you think about it
