pics of my 120 gallon

[rollntider]

I am currently building for my grow out tanks for my bettas. I will build 5 total(2 for me), this is the first and it was a learning experiance.
anyways never mind the mess in the basement the kids played today and didnt get everything put up (I was busy cutting plexiglass and glueing it together )

There is my stand partially finished, I still need to add supports on the back side and i am done

and my spawning tank will be right beside it.
So when it is all said in done i will have 5, 120 gallon tanks.
Chaos is going to help me breed these fellas (he will house a few of the tanks). We both had been in the hobby for many years and now are starting to do one of the things we love. Raise fish, and lots of them. After teh 5 tanks are built, we will then build 2 betta barracks.

Looking at the picture I forgot I gotta move that darn phone When i ran the phone line years ago, i didnt anticipate this in a million years. Thanks to my wife for giving me permission, and to Chaos for working with me on this project.

I forgot the demensions it is 48x24x24 and 3/8 thick glass. That sucker is thick... and heavy (oh...my aching back )

Is that tank 120 gallon? I thought 48/24/24 was about 68 gal... or do I have a bigger tank than I thought

NO thats right it works out to about 120US Gallons or about 100Uk Gallons. Theres a nice little calculator right here.

That was our first assumption as well...around 68 us gal. Then after using the Aquarium calculator, we got a big suprise

We will be cutting glass for 2 more tanks this afternoon and hopefully in a day or 2 we can test out the first one with some water to check for any leakage.
I will be working on the wooden frame around the top and bottom of the tanks during the 2 hours i have off from work before bedtime, with this being my busiest time of the year for work, 7 days a week 14-18 hours a day im limited on time to get this project finished But..it seems to be progressing pretty quickly.
Thanks for all your comments
