Another Plywood Build, for my bass

[Bassinkorea]

How many more days until the fish go in?!!!

0 days
I got home 21 hours ago and had a good nights sleep. I woke up this morning, filled up the tank, picked up the remaining substrate from my LFS, cleaned it and put it in. I put in some pre-cycling liquid that was recommended by my LFS and now I have a goldfish in the tank to see how he goes over night. He's been in a few hours and he is lively.
If all goes well tonight, I will put all my cycled media and gravel from my other tank tomorrow.

I am also thinking of not putting my bass in this tank at all. Since this tank is in our living room, we are thinking of putting a shoal of tinfoil barbs in the tank instead and keep the bass in the other tank in the other room.

Awesome piece of work!! What size sump are you going to use?

I am using a 1500 GPH pump.

Thank you, one way or the other the tank will be fully stocked within 24 hours

I agree, that would be awesome, but I have never found a single place selling p-bass in Korea.

Bro your tank is worthy of a HUGE Asian Arowana as well...
I imagine being in SE Asia you could score one at a great price as well...

My LFS had one about 20 inches for sale for around $400 last year, and I would of bought it but my tank was way too small for that fish and a 15" LM Bass.

$400!!?!!

I would have dedicated my bathtub to temporarily house a deal like that and showered outside under a tree!!!
That's like $3000.00 cheaper than the going rate...

They are not native to Korea, and everything like this in Korea is usually very expensive, so I guess it was a different breed of Arow

Wow Great build very "overbuilt" and looks amazing thank you for the inspiration... 1500$ and all that time you put into this is ALOT but the end result must be breathtaking i can only look at the few pictures you have given us and it looks amazing...
one question in the pictures you say "it is right full" but there is a good 5inch Gap with no water at the top is that just because of bulkhead placement? maybe i am missing something but i look forward to future posts full of fish... and now you have some of the hardest decisions what to put in it lol Good Luck
