I got me juices flowing now! (can I use window panes to make smaller aquariums? Not this tank but for future referance.)
12 inches tall x 18 inches wide x 72 inches long.
It will be a river bottom tank.I'll have "exposed" roots "growing" out of the water.
Natural stones/sand/gravel on the bottom.
Made of plywood and glass,unless I choose acrylic.
Natural species found in Floridas waters, (hey I'm a floridian, I want a piece of our great outdoors in my house!)
I used a thing to calculate what I'll need (thanks to this forum mind you!)

It will have PLENTY of room for my wild babies, (loads of mosquito fishies/crayfishies and something.....else......not quite sure yet, give me some suggestions! hehehe.
There is just something about a river bottom that really puts me at ease.
I have a small five gallon set up like this, and even for it's size,it looks awesome.
( due to me being broke all the time,LOL, this wee project will be a long time in actually coming...unless I get lucky and my Buddy drops by and has this stuff laying around,hehhe."old family friend that "adopted" me before i was born,much to mum's dismay,LOL")
