and it will be a discus tank... thinking huge biotope i have recently collected some large pieces of wood that would look awsome.. may some angels, neons, rams, pleco... would love a arowana or peacock bass because thats the right size tank for them but... thinking ill stick with the smaller fish

Wow, I can hardly wait to see what a 10' long tank, all set up, looks like! How strong is your floor? Will you use scuba gear to clean it :D? Good luck with it all and take pics!

Luckly for me I'm on a slab and if not I would just make a footing for it to displace as much weight as possible, but I was also thinking since it is so big I could leave water level half way and have anubis growing out of the water.. And tree branches with possible frogs and geckos.. With ivy growing over it... At least that's what I have in my head... Fog/rain machine and black lights for the frogs... Man I'm so excited I hope it works out... Odds are about 90 % sure I'm getting it so cross my fingers
