with a price like that, a REALISTIC goal! I feel very very elated.

BTW what are the dimensions of these 1k tanks though? if they are only 10 feet long...

see, I'd be interested in something that has dimensions like 13-15' x 3-5' x 3-4'
 
Recently saw a tank on a Jeeves site,6'wx5'tx16l, 3500+gal. no price listd. Now I can't find the site again.
 
Oh good lord... man you could create a freakin aquatic BIOTOPE using small fish in a tank like that.

That's one of my fantasies, to get a monster tank like that and throw in various small centrarchids or cichlids, and have a feeling that you're almost replicating an environment you'd find in the wild.

Of course I think most people here would rather house large channa/catfish/pacu, and I can relate to that as well :P

What I'd do though is get a male channa micropeltes, male channa marulius, and a male bowfin, and then a motley assortment of lesser dither/feeder fish, and just see what goes on from there :D It would be fascinating to find out down the line if the three titans get along fine, or if they develop a serious pecking order, or if one decides to eventually eliminate the other two. And it would be awesome to see how large/fast they would actually grow, and/or how their growth rates compared.
 
Hmmmmmm Fish addiction……..Hmmm let's see, where to start?

-As much as I want to have multiple tanks I can only have one in my home so I try to pack as many fish as I can into the tanks. I like it that way :D

-Was really into African cichlids once and my best tank was my old 125G. Had I have over 700lbs of rock work, 200lbs of sand and 300++ fish ranging from 4-8" in there. It was Hella packed! Nice to watch. There were so many fish in there that when they all came up to the front of the tank you can barely see the rock work in the back. And No I don’t have pics. Couldn't afford a Digital Camera back then.

-My wife says I have extra energy for the fish. I say I am tired and want to plop to bed after a long day at work, but when I see the tank is filthy I proceed on doing my water changes that take me 2hrs. One time I did the water change at 2AM and went to bed at 4AM. LOL

-I am guilty of falling asleep in front of the tank. Also fell asleep during water changes, only to be awakened by the sound of overflowing water!!!!! NOT GOOD!

-Wife says I feed my fish better than us. LOL!

-You know you're addicted that when you get into an a really bad argument with your wife, she will say "It's either I go or the fish goes!!!!"
(don't make me answer that question. :D j/k) LOL!
