Oh Darn...Need More Discus.

[Second Hand Pat]

I have been looking for a 180 gallon acrylic tank for about 6 months. I went and saw this today.




A 230 gallon acrylic clean as a whistle. I walked into the room, looked at it and said "Oh Wow". Can we say Amazon bio-type. This beast is 72x24x31 inch tall. It will be a beast to clean but such a pleasure to look at.

Hubby and I will be picking it up in a week or two once the fish are rehomed.

Rock n roll!I would love something that large but just can't give up the wall space.I have a 150 in the family room that is 48x24x31.The extra 2ft would mean the couch would have to go.that 31" height is a b1tch.Need a step stool to clean.

Nice tank! Good luck. My tank is 30" tall and I love it.

Nice!

Very nice Pat!! Way to go,

[Discus-n00b]

Very very nice! Will look forward to watching this develop and becoming jealous. Looks like it was originally built as a peninsula style tank, 3 side viewable....that'd be cool if you had the space!

Time to fill them up with wilds, if I had a chance I would go for blue faced Heckel. Would be wonderful!

Wow - fantastic looking tank, Pat !
That will look absolutely superb when you get it set up the way you want it to look !
Can't wait to see the finished product !
But what with/how are you going to stock it ? Discus ? Would you now deign to consider some domestics ?
My God, this is going to be some super readable journal.
Best of luck,
Paul

WOW pls send me that tiger Datnoid! I love those!

[jcardona1]

Awesome! My only complaint is the overflow on one end, kinda takes away from the aesthetics of the tank. The height isn't too bad. My old tank was 6x3x3 and I loved the height! You need a step stool, but it's not harder than a 2ft tank

[ericatdallas]

Yeah, if you have that side hug a wall, it's not even noticeable? Maybe you can modify it out too... hard to tell by pic. I don't think it takes too much away from the tank though, it looks awesome.

My wife gave me the go-ahead to but 150-180G the other day AND told me she wanted the 75G stand (actually an old solid wood desk) for our daughter's room. Of course, she tells me this after I saw a 125G on sale for $200 with EVERYTHING on sale on CL. <sigh> Obviously, the tank was sold quickly.

Pat, not only do you need more fish, you need more worms

That datnoid is awesome! Were the fish extra?

[Discus-n00b]

Yeah thats why I said it was built as a peninsula style tank, the overflow side was supposed to go against the wall. You should do it Pat! Use it as a room divider!!
