If you are getting a tank built, what are the dimensions (length x width x height) and do you own your home?
The dimensions at the top of the page say 10ft x 4ft x 22 inches. Is it 4ft high or 22 inches high?
If 22 inches high, why not go 24 inches high, it's a more common height?
It is 10 ft long 4 ft wide and 22 inches height; the reason for the limit in height is so i can reach the bottom in all areas to manage plants. My 120 is 24 inches high and I have learned from it the difficulty in managing plants. I did once see a 36 inch high planted aquairum and the person managed it by getting into the aquarium and snorkling (I think it was 8 ft long 4 or 5 ft wide and 36 inches high); but i rather stay out of my aquarium. This is an updated proposed stocking:
(sizes are adult size not purchase size)
20 HEMIODUS GRACILIS (approx 6 inch)
20 lemon tetra (2-3 inch)
12 clown loaches (8 to 18 inches)
10-15 Anostomus (if not too expensive)
20 zebra loaches (3-4 inch)
maybe 1 flagtail prochilodus (12 inch)
8 krobia xinguensis (5 inch)
4-6 laeracara specie (probalby curviceps) (4 inch)
6 crossocheilus langei (if they can be obtained in usa; else drop them or obtain their cousin which are common)
some random pleco (172a,L204,L397,L128,...)
optionally 4 small chocolate cichild - reduced to 2 when sexed - these as adults would probalby eat the lemon tetra and maybe the zebra loach - so maybe not a good idea
