Hi ive seen a 220litre column fish tank i like, its 5ft 7 tall, but i wanted to know are these tanks any good and what fish would be suitable to keep in them?
And the best question would be: How will they get out after planting it? Isn't having a ladder inside dangerous?They are beautiful tanks but are not very practical for many of us. Are you going to put a few inches of water in it and then climb inside to plant it? Do you have a 6 foot long gravel vac? How bright must the lights be to get enough light to the bottom to grow a plant or even to see your fish?
I am sure that many of the fish we keep would do fine in deep water but there are limits to what people can do in deep tanks to maintain them. I don't buy the fish limit argument because adequate circulation can keep any water system at oxygen saturation conditions but there are plenty of practical reasons to avoid the,. The things I listed above are a real issue for me on a tank that is only 2 feet, 60 cm, deep.
