Well here she is, After a brutal day of moving it and 2 days of plumbing I have an up and running darth vader style 300 gallon arowana comunity tank :)
It has an auto water changing drip system with a 120 gallon sump with a 1.5HP pump running it......
Right now i have 4 red tail gold asian arowana, 6 silvers, 2 giant gourami, 1 RTC, 1 fei feng, 3 tinfoil barbs, 1 rainbow shark and somewhere in there a pleco (i hope) I will be swapping out silvers for more asians in the future and PRAY i end up with 7 in total.....
Here she is..... what do you think?

That is fricking awesome! I love the plumbing!

Bottom picture it looks like you added a return to your sump? Pump to strong?
 
Hats off to you! lol. Thats one of the best tanks with the best fish assortment I've ever seen. How big are all those guys would u say?
 
It runs that high so the overflow of the auto drip can run out into my drain. In the event of a power failure i have the dorso standpipes to prevent over drainage aswell as an emergency overflow in the sump. I am using air stones in the ceramic rings and bio balls for added O2 but with the 2" drain pipes and that monster pump i doubt it needs it :)
 
Good god man! That is awesome. Looks like you planned it out extremely well. Good job, and very nice fish!

I just set up a 125 and it is the biggest tank I've had so far. You have that for a sump LOL.
 
Ohh yeah, and 4 6" red hook silver dollars :)
Egon Yeah i had to do a return line.... the tank looked like a toilet with fish getting flushed when i added the arowana (guess the tinfoils and dollars are high current fish cus i couldent tell).... The pump is amazing but a bit too much so the return gives added air to my ceramics (25 gallons of em)
