Looking good Cane, love those Tigers, been looking around myself with very little success.

One of them looks just small enough for that Aro to me.

Ahh, thats a shame. Get some more they look ace I reckons
My tanks gone bust at the moment, lights have gone on it, and after buying some new reps and another MX bike I cant afford new ones, so Im hoping to put them all into the other tank I have.

Very nice cane.

I agree that the tigs look like they are still figuring out the pecking order of the tank. I saw them get charged by the cat and the knife in the vid. Im sure they are gonna be fine but they need to learn to stay away from big gaping mouths

Awesome!

One thing though. Your tank looks a little empty. I hope you add a lot of vegetation (coral?). That's what makes an aquarium diverse in my opinion (and it's half the fun).

Coral its not a marine tanks and he cant have all thge vegetation your on about he has 2 great big mono rays and a juruense catfish that all need the space on the bottom.

Corals go in marine tanks and aquatic plants (what people would call vegetation) go in freshwater aquariums.As mark said

Wow this thread is great. That 300gal tank is fantastic, and the garage conversion is brilliant. I really want to do a fish room later when money and space allow. I even considered building one outside down the side of my house, but apart from the water which is easy, I couldn't consider running the electrics to power the filters heaters lights etc. Could always put a wind turbine on the roof i guess.
