final tank build

[Beannose]

so i have finally decided and built the tank that i set out planning for last year its a 7X4X2.4ft plywood tank glass fronted i wanted to hear peoples thoughts on my possible stocklist
1 mini moto stingray (male) averaging around 15 inch
1 barred bicher
a group of 8 geophagus sveni
and one asian arow
it is going to have one side rocked and live planted to bring the nitrates down mainly with java fern and anubis so the geos dont up root them
i am leaving around 1ft for the arow at this point but then theres is around 4/5ft open space for the ray and the arow to go into more depth as he wishes
i do still have the outside to clad with pallet wood but its almost there
id like everyones opinion thank you.

How much does this tank cost?

for the wood and glass it was around £300 the pond paint was £100 and there's probably close to 300 screws so id say £500 just for the tank alone
if i did it in glass i got a business quote of £900 that's without silicone and lid so it would have been more.

I can’t speak to your stock list, but the tank turned out great!
What type of black rock is that?

 

[Beannose]

Thank you its Scottish slate rock but large pieces if your anywhere near Yorkshire we sell it at our shop really cheap

Most landscaping yards should have them.
