I saw that...lookin good. I wish I had the trapezoid overflows you have...they look much better than in the corner like mine.
Thanks.
I'm going to have to. I have a large stone I want to add, and I don't think there's any way to safely lower it without getting in.
Thanks. I don't think he lifted a finger...he was a friend of the guy I bought it from and he took on more of a supervisory (onlooker) role.
The thought has crossed my mind. My LFS had a ryukin that was literally larger than a softball...more like the size of a large cantelope. It must have been 18" long (nose to end of tail). But I don't really like the idea of mixing goldfish types. I have heard that the comets will outcompete the fancy goldfish for food and cause problems.
Everytime I walk in the room I imagine an aro roamin the top of the tank. Perhaps someday.
I like your thinking. Add a large school of pink tail chalceus roaming the top and a group of silver dollars and that would be a wicked tank. Heating situation is being looked at. Hope I figure it out soon too.
You are my hero!!!!! I think my wife would killed me if I only think of tank that large
Post some new pics!!
For heating - maybe it would be cheaper to heat entire room than just tank with AQ heaters
LOL- so many people have mentioned their wives never allowing them to go big. I feel for you guys, but at the same time there are days I wish I hadn't gone so big. ex- heating something even as large as a 240 or 300G would be pricey but not prohibitively expensive. But almost tripling the cost gets a little crazy. The space heaters I looked at pull 1,500watts, so I'm not sure it would be more efficient. I may give it a shot and see what happens.
Thanks. I think you are the second or third person to mention Lupin. From what I hear he's one of the few here on MFK who approve of goldfish keeping, so he sounds like a good guy in my book.
Few updates...
-I bought 2 Shubunkins- I don't typically like them, but these two were dope, so I couldn't pass em up.
-I added some plants.
-I found babies...not sure who/how/where or when, but I found babies in the tank and in my filter socks.
-Had a guy over today to give me a quote on a solar panel system.
Not sure why, but I'm not able to embed the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nICtzx1o8A&feature=related
Lopaka- I'm not ready for the heat exchange system yet, but I am eyeballin your Super Dart Gold as a backup pump to my Hammerhead. Expect a PM soon.

The Fresh Prince's of the fish world right here. Beautiful tank man. Yeah, not a chance in hell I would stock that with goldfish either, but it's your tank. When I hit the jackpot I'm gonna buy a tank like this and take a video of me starting it on fire and melting it to the ground just to piss everybody off. 
please excuse my noob question are you going to keep goldfishes in that tank? >_< Very nice setup btw

lol- You are crazy man, but I like you.
I am keeping goldfish. I would love to keep:
3 Oscars
1 Green Terror
12 Pink Tail Chalceus
8 Red Hook (or black bar) silver dollars
6 Bala Sharks
18 XL clown Loaches
But heating 800G in the winter time will cost a grip and I don't want to dump anymore money into this hobby. So goldies it is.
