Thanks, what's a "cay"? If you mean rays I'm not sure they would like having stones as a substrate. I'm going to add some round Mexican river rock whenever I get them cleaned up.

Ha, I knew that question was going to come up. I don't have a complete cost but I estimate around $3,000. The glass alone was $1200. I got them from Glasscages.com. If I got them from a local supplier it would have cost almost triple. The next most expensive were the pumps. At $350 a piece I have two in there. Then the rest of the material and Wetsuit add up to the remaining.

If you mean crayfish? That's not a bad idea as long as they don't snip at my fish. With the driftwood and rocks to hide in they could be a good clean up crew.
i think any starying cray would make a quick snack for ur fish, however, if you have smaller rocks with larger rocks on top, and populate it enough with cray they very well could be a good clean up crew... in addition if you get those self cloning crays that reproduce asexually or whatever you good have a substantial food source in your tank for your fish
awesome build. love the double viewing window.. don't see it much on big DIY builds. I'm always getting great ideas reading these build threads. best of luck filling that MONSTER tank!!
