Building My 50,000 Gallon Monster Mega Tank

[Moris]

Hey that's really true that installing a water tank in the house is going to enhance the property value as shortage of water is a coming problem and we have to solve this.For more details http://superwall.com.au/

I noticed you have mentioned you have many other tanks, any pictures of them?

Keep up the great work!

I do have quite a number of other tanks but few are the way I would like them to be to take pics. Just getting more use of my hands and wrists (After no or limited use over the past 21 months) so it will still be a while yet before I would want pictures of them.

In the mean time please show me some pictures of your tanks.

I am pretty sure if i were to do this, my wife would leave me. LOL. Keeps telling me no more tanks then I saw a flier for a 125 gallon Oceanic set up. She said call them. LOL. I rather build a 8' x 3' x 3' aquarium for now. Now, just need to find the money.

An 8x3x3 tank is really great dimension wise. 540 Gallons allows for quite a possible variety of awesome fish. Are you going to build a plywood tank with a glass front?

Sorry to hear about your situation, from what I have seen you have a great bunch of people that are willing to lend a hand.

I have pictures of my old basement fish room in my Personal Gallery, not much just mostly Malawi breeder and growout tanks. I have recently moved and have had to downsize a little but was able to upgrade my 55g all male peacock/hap tank to a 110g tall tank and setup my 9 15g acrylics plumed with a sump. I'm still getting things the way I want them and have not taken pictures yet.

Hey arapaimag, thanks for sharing about your great tank. You are a very humble man and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Also I was wondering in the future are you planning to raise anymore tarpons since your last one jumped?

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends.

Thanks for the reply and Good memory on the tarpon.

I will not be getting another although I am tempted when seeing them in the stores.

The one that jumped was in the 15,000 actually not the big tank. It did not jump out but appeared to hit it's head (while I watched it) while jumping out of the water on perhaps an overhead light fixture and died almost at once. Just an unfortunate fluke.

My tanks have styrofoam on the ceilings to prevent this type of injury but none on the light fixtures of course. The sides above the tank are also styrofoam protected so fish can not jump out of either of the big tanks unless some one is feeding them at the time and has a window open. Even then in the big tank 2x4"s block the pimas or big cats from possibly getting through the feeding openings.

The tarpons I think do need salt as they age which is another consideration. My biggest marine tank set up at present is only a 225g for my honeycombe eel.

Would you ever consder building a bigger salt water tank then the 225 gallon saltwater tank?
