Arrowana tank

Best advice would be make it at least a foot wider if you intend to keep the arowana in there for more than a couple of years...
I'd say go for a sump for filtration, not sure what is available in the UK in terms of bead or glass filters though.

i hate that people keep aros in such small tanks....i've seen 30"ers in 180's (6'x2') and it makes me sick lol...If you have the room i'd go atleast 8'x3' as David R suggested. I house 5 Silver aros in a 650 gallon with 2 overhead sumps and 3 fx5's. The footprint is 9'x4' and its plenty of room for them. They are not skittish at all and rarely ever jump like most people struggle with. The bigger the tank the calmer the aro imo. Read way too many storys of them bailing and jumping when the lights come on. If the footprint you mention is your final decision i would not put in more than 1 aro...even then its pushing it.
man all these haters aros can turn on a dime my aros not skitsh neither i would not put more than 2 but over filtrate do what you want to do though as long as it's not a 20 gal bucket i have mine in a 55 not realy but lets hear the people pipe in
man alot of people tell u stuff because they read it online if they have experence tell them to show u a pic of there set up and then talk
sorry man did not mean to steal your thread but filtration ask these guys not going to tell u mine because it will be wrong
I think one arp would be fine. I know it's not right but my dad used to keep about an I'd say 18-20 inch aro in his 60 gallon. Did very well till we moved.

filtration wise either get it drilled with a sump or get 2-3 fx5's and yeah you really want that tank 3ft wide to keep those aros for the long term.
