Building My 50,000 Gallon Monster Mega Tank

[arapaimag]

I wonder how you know the offender of the murders, since you have a lot of tanks. How much time do you spend a day watching them?

I spend quite a bit of time observing my fish, feeding and servicing my tanks everyday.

The Black shark was easy as it could be seen when he was chewing on fishes skin and the resulting wounds. The difficulty was catching him because of the driftwood, bogwood and rockery. Being only 26" and very dark he was both very manoeuvrable and very camouflaged and eluded capture on several occasions.

When you see a fish in the mouth of the Wallago and either continue down her throat or it escapes it really is quite easy to determine who killed or injured the fish. When you see bite marks that appear to match exactly the open mouth of the Wallago on other fish she often skirmishes with it is also easy to lay blame on her.

You sir, are THE reason I joined this forum!! Your tank is beyond unbelievable and if one day I will have a tank even a 10th the size of yours I will think back to the man who inspired me to keep going... YOU!

I think the only way making something like this would make sense to me is if you found a way to charge people to come and see it so that you could make some money. This is beyond obsession. Beyond hobby. My 90 gallon tank can stress me out at times so I get stressed just THINKING about your ocean.

Thank you very much and welcome to MFK.

You have a couple of hobbyists in Nederland that have built a very large stingray/arrowana tank and are planning to or have already built more.

Frank and Nico are incredible stingray breeders.

Best wishes on you also building a large tank for your fish.

Welcome to MFK and I am glad I am not trying to make money actually.

When that happens it is a job and not a hobby anymore.

I enjoy the hobby aspect.
