A few weeks ago i started building a new tank. The dimensions will be:

Length : 2.70m
width : 1.60m
height : 0.70m

The aquarium will be made of wood. The base of the aquarium will be 3 steal beams, whitch are hanging in two walls.
The aquarium will have two windows, A big on (2.70m), and a side window (1.10m) to the bedroom.

I will use a beadfilter and two trickle filters to filtrate the tank.

I kept stingrays for 4 years, so offcouse there will be stingrays in the tank, and a asian arowana.

Thanks all, will keep you upposted


That's different but cool! How much bearing surface is under each side of the beam?
It are 3 HEA 140 beams. The the beams has 14cm of bearing surface. The total weight of the tank will be around 3000 kilograms. Zo each bearing surface will have to carry around 500 kilograms. I think that will be no problem.

The ytong-blocks under the beams doenst do anything. They're just there to hang up some stuff. I just didnt want to make anymore holes in the walls under the beams.
