So I am building a 1000 gallon plywood pond. It will be filtered by a swirl filter, then by aquaponics. It's going to be 8 feet long, 4 feet long, and 4 feet high. What cichlids do you recommend?
 
First....Congrats on planning to build one....By when do you plan to get it completed...I wil be glued to this thread like a hawk on its progress.....
My automatic choice would be Amphilophus varieties , Jaguars and RTM's....(sorry my choice only)....but you have a ton of options....wondering how different responses you will start getting on this one !!!!
 
To clarify... When you say pond I think hole in the ground outside... Then u say 8'x4'x4'... I'm so confused >.<

I plan on buying the wood tomorrow, along with cinder blocks, and I'm thinking pond tarp would be a lot easier with a tank this big.
 
But it's still in the ground?
 
I'm still confused =S do you have any pictures or sketches of what you're going for? If not it's fine, I'm just curious.
