What an amazing set up. You should charge admission to your house. Who needs to go to SeaWorld.....

Give all the neighborhood kids a snorkel and let them jump in :grinyes:

The Sorubimichthys planiceps ate a 28 INCH AROWANA!!!! Man that must have been something to see.
I read that you used 3/4 glass on your 15k, and 1 inch on your 50k, what is the spacing between the braces?
I'm thinking of making a 700-1000, but can't decide as to wether or not to but a brace in the middle and two sheets of glass.

I mainly used 3 foot spans between the steel posts. Best wishes making your tank. You and your fish will love it.

Thank you for sharing pictures of your massive tanks. Although we have quite a large number of fish fanatics in Australia, we are amateurs compared to what you have achieved. Please provide more updated pictures if possible. This is truly an amazing achievement.
