Corner Plywood Tank For Giant Gourami

[noiesmo]

Thinking of building another Plywood Tank this time a corner one.

Just wanting to find out if this size would be big enough for a Giant Gourami

It works out around 150 US Gallons.

Or Option 2

Nice plans, 150 should be ok for the GG maybe not forever but for a good few years. Is this for a new fish or the one from the 2000?

i suggest bigger as my gg was nearly 30 inches

go for the second option
not much harder to build, and increases capacity considerably. i personally think it looks better too. especially if you get viewing panels on the sides.

I would do #2, but modify it so the front pane of glass is longer than the others.

The wife has been at me to put colorful fish in the 2000, so I was thinking of spliting up the fish in the 2000. and putting african cichlids in the 2000 and the gourami in the corner tank, but not sure yet what to do....

Yes agreed. See new possible size below.

Yes Second option is the go....

I Agree and new plans below.


OK Here's the new plans at this stage not sure what I'll be doing just yet. I may make the corner tank and put other fish in not GG.

Yeah, won't be any pics for a while I am in concept and design stage

This was a thought as I have pond shield left from my 2000 liter build (HERE) and also some plywood etc.

If I go ahead with this it won't start till about xmas/new year.
