Nice thread and I would love to follow up on your article as I need some help and advice cuz I will be building a monster tank myself dimensions of 14' x 8' x 4' with the stock similair to yours but not as high quantity that are currently growing out in my 450g. Building it sometime next year.
One day I hope to do something similar too.
I admire the fact you take time out to answer everyones questions.
I think you have to start saying no to adopting fish, as hard as that may be!
Your tank is amazing, thanks for sharing pics and advice.
I was thinking of doing it aswell Cichlid-beast, theres more than enough help and know how on this site to do it yourself. You can also buy liquid rubber in the uk if you intend using this to seal it
you did a very awsome job building this tank, this just shows how far a fish lover will go to make there buddys happy, u have a awsome pacu too he looks good
