Hello John;
I havn't talk to you for some time.I moved to florida and trying to get my house built around my 15,000 gallon tank.I have read alot of posts about where to get a big tank built because they are not "Handtman" like us. A.T.M. in Las Vages builds large tanks for Zoos,Public Aquariums,and for homes,business.I am in the process of moving the tank from Las Vages to Florida by truck.If people are really serious and have the money ready,no b.s.,give A.T.M.a call.
My tank dimension are 30ft.longX10ft.wX8.5ft.h.
John,I wasn't trying to take over your post, it was to help people out that has a dream like we do and the money to do it.
Your tank is awesome,
Regard,
Arapaimaman

Eh....tank extension...? Are you building onto the side where the big window on your 5,000 is? How on earth are you going to do this? Build the whole tank extension, fill it and cycle it then just remove the window..!!?? Surely you must be taking the fish out to do this...??
You are truly mental, but I like it!
Sam DOES need the space, glad to see your planning ahead!

it will go to the left of the big tank where the 2400 is (was... demo begining)

the fish will need to be out for 3 days....i am going to build a tank inside the 5000 so i dont have to move sam just lower the water with him in the tank and then drain the water....remove the wall...refill and heat.the filters are already cycled and will be kept running....
