Just wondering, do you know of bigger home/private aquariums out there??
I am sure there are.

One fellow said on this thread a couple of years ago that he was building a larger tank in Belize. I have not heard from him since so don't know if it is finished.

A friend told me someone from MFK was on Animal Planet and that person claims to have the largest home/private tank in the world. I don't get Animal Planet in Quaoar. So I have not seen it.

I just built my tank to house my fish with no intention of trying to be the "biggest" only giving my fish the best care I can.

I'm waiting for my Quote to come back, then i'm hopefully gonna get on with. I've started sourcing Big Eheim Bucket filters and large heaters. Gonna get couple big lumps of bog wood and planning on a soft sand base. Most likely just run twin 6ft Fluorescents on top of the tank, not sure i want it too bright due to spooking some of the less confident fish i plan.

Also i'm looking at a new Turbo engine for my car so not sure which is coming first. :)

Hmmm tank or turbo.

If you get the tank what fish are you planning to put in it?

Welcome to MFK.

When I have not fed the fish for a few days you can actually get in the tank for free.
