What do you mean started stalking!!!! Like putting fish in..........duu gottsta post the pics man.

But my tank action consists of a 100 (actually 95 gallon) native tank with a 7 inch LMB and a 4 inch Smallie. Here she is....

I also have a 100 gallon salty that I am getting ready to set up. I have had it for a while now but you know the whole money thing and all......so that will come along real soon.

But the coolest thing is I won the Post-a-Palooza so I have a Leichardti Arowana on the way.....I'm keeping him in a 30 gallon (don't worry he is bery bery small) I had empty very short term until I can get a ]v[onster tank. (i've never done that ]V[ thing before....I feel cool.)

but who cares about that stuff we like seeing your REAL monster tank!!!

Thank You Portabuddy For Your Thoughtful Story... I'm Positive That Are Tank Is Going To Stand Strong.

Chill - Fan I Like The Idea With There blue Max We Found Almost The Same Product.

dont get me wrong i would not trust this stuff even if it was for a tank similiar to the size in the video,purely because the product have not been on the market for as long as i would want my tank to last...i have to agree fully with wizzin here as MAXIMUM strenght would certainly be obtained by filling all the cores with cement at the same time, thus not only having the cement supporting the rebar but preventing the shearing notion of the blocks aswell...

but then again...i've read your whole thread and the way you went about it all IMHO will do the job!


i'm a complete non believer in "magic" products like blue max...Does anybody have any expierence with this stuff??

Derper - Good Job On The ]V[ That Was My First As Well. I Kinda Did It Bac Words. I Did it {V} And then [V] Then I Relized i was way off. but anyways your tank looks good, You Will Have To Post An DYI On The Salt Water.
When I Said Stalking I Mean Getting Fish ALready Why Have A 2000 Gallon Tank And Have A 3" Fish In There. Hold On Let Me Go Get The Microscope For You. lol Just Got 10 Silver Aro's 7" 3 African Aro's 10" And Reti Ray That Is 7" Also A 12" O

Chill Fan - The Stuff I Am Refuring To Was Called Blue Seal. Its Non Toxic And Has Blue Colour So Will Make The Back Wall Of The Tank Look Great.
And Thanks For The Comments Laying More Block Tonight, LIke Wizzin Said It
Takes Alot Of Cement.

That sounds great.......we need to see this thing with our own eyes. I think a SWEET picture would be your whole tank with the 3" fish in there!!! LOL

I've built a stand and hood for my SW so I'll definately post a thread showing that. But I gotta get a little more money and finish it up.

anyway this project is great and inspiring............Cleod....YOU'RE great and inspiring..... LOL JK

Amazing project! How do you manage to persuade the people you live with that it's a good idea. I stumble at that even for a small tank. Lol.

Well It Was Easy I Told Him I Can Get A Free Shark Should I Grab Him. He Said Yes Were Will We Put It. lol I Said Donno Lets Bulid A Tank. Few Days Later Construction Was Started lol. His Dad Also Owns A Koi Farm So He Grew Up With Fish. There A Few Tanks On The GO Right Now, An 85 Gallon In The Wall Which Is Done. The 2000 Gallon Which Will Be Done Tonight. Just Need To Install The Glass. And Might Be Another One Upstairs.

Well The Block Work Is All Done. We Finally Got Some Work Done After Having Two Week Holiday lol. So Here Are Your Pic Updates The Tank Is Now Complete Inside And Out. The Corners Are Rounded For The Fish So When They Come To The Corner They Can Roll Right Through Them. The Top Row OF Block Is Sittink On Angle Iron. All Thats Left Now Is To Build The Frame For The Glass And Then Place The Glass In, Rubberize The Tank With Blue Seal. And Then But A Ball Valve On The Out Pipe Of The Tank And Fill It Full Of Water. Once The Tank Holds The Water We Will Drain It And Start Working On The Filtration System. Since The Cement Has To Cure For 28 Days We Won't Pour The Water Till Second Week Of May. Any Questions?

Simply looks freaking amazing. Good work, that is one freaking sweet fish tank. Erm tank... thats not the right word... I think 'thunderdome' is more suiting. 'fish thunderdome' yeah that sounds about right. Super awesome setup.
