Great looking tanks.

I'm no arowanna expert but I think that tank is to small. Are you planning on moving him/her when it gets bigger?

 

[technium]

Oh ok I was just wondering. I hope he is happy in his bigger tank.

Thanks everyone

fufanu360 - The 8 footer will have a 40g tank underneath the stairs with a 2 foot high by 9" deep by 12" wide sump tower.

Here is a pic of the sump, not yet running because just getting things setup.

woe thats a big tank, how much did it cost for the tank and cabinet ifyou dont mind me asking

 

[technium]

thanks again everyone.

The tank itself cost £550 and is made from 12mm glass. The stand never cost anything well apart from a tin of sweets as my dad was able to get it all from work as damaged pieces so we were able to cut the good bits out for what we needed.

The tank is alot higher than normal stands because this is in the living room and I wanted it to be seen properly even when the sofa etc is in front of it.

Tonight I will be adding the sand and then testing the overflow pipes to the sump

Thanks

Colin
