Building My 50,000 Gallon Monster Mega Tank

[ICS]

OMG, awesome, a "god-class" fish master. Enjoyed & captured by the videos, didn't see any Chitala Ornata ck, fk, ack, abk, bgk ... among the community to grace your grand aquarium?

Been awhile since viewing new pics of your stuff.. amazing . That Fire eels is gorgeous. Can not wait for mine to get so large. but don't see pics of the aba aba I"ll keep looking back threw the thread.

Thanks, Remember I only raised my biggest fire eel to 33". That 40" plus monster was George de Vries. The one I have now is only 22" but a very active and attractive fish. My second one (20") I gave to a MFK member who adored it in January.

Tried to put up some new pictures but the forum is experiencing upload errors. Will try again tomorrow.

Carly thank you.

I see you just joined a few months ago so a belated welcome to MFK.

Your wish list includes a Mbu puffer I see. A great fish to own.
Here is a video of one of mine in my african 810g.

Best of luck with your 400 gallon tank build.

A warm welcome to MFK.

I do keep Notopterus chitala (formerly Chitala ornata) in the big tank. They were raised in the 15,000 and moved to the big tank in feb 2010. They measure 28" and 29".

You can see them both in post 2299.

The 29" one called Soo is in the second picture just above the head of the Arapaima arapaima.

The 28" one is in a shoal of Paraneetroplus syspila (formerly Vieja synspilus).

I also have a 12" Apteronotus albifrons in a 144g with a shoal of Gnathonemus petersii.

The fk, ack, abk, bgk and for that matter aofk inc gk, pk, safk, apkk also are to small to live in the tank with the wl, aa, ck, sab, rtc, sc, hw. If they were able to get to the lr then of course they mbatht but yaiwnbatst. Ykiftic (You know it's fun talking in Canadian).

This is probably going to be the most unpopular first post on a forum EVER! But I'm going to say it regardless-

Big fish freak me out.
Seriously.
Anything bigger than 7-8inches makes me go all wibbly.

Having said that, this build and all your other tanks and your dedication to the welfare of your fish are an absolute inspiration to people like me. And I'm so, so happy that you decided to share this with everyone. I've been glued to this thread for the past few hours, just reading through and staring at your pictures and giving a running commentary to my housemates.
Wonderful, wonderful tanks. Makes me keep my (comparatively small) dreams alive.
Thank you again for the awesomeness.

Hmmmm are you asking me or Amber?

You can see what happened to Queensland Australia the last time Amber did a partial water change.

I am very conservative and have a kind of fast drip system just about 2,000 pag (puny american gallons) per day at present.

HUH/// To whom much is given ,,much is really given ,,only your wits seem to make your 50000g look small....great return vs Amber //// Signature material////

Not only do I like the pictures but your attitude as well. What do you do for living? (profession, job) I know it's (too) personal but I'm not allowed to send pm.
