A 300 for $350? You find some good stuff down there. All I can find is people selling 30's for $350. Some people have all the luck. But really thats a great deal. Nice long tank. You can put some real monsters in there. I would stick with the SA/CA idea. Bunch of males to make some nasty hybrids with your Kamalau. Great idea. Like your stock list too. Good Luck Mike!!
 
Thanks Davey for the killer deal, and thanks everyone for their ideas. I've definately thought about the planted idea, but I just don't have the time to maintain something like that, and it would cost me my first born just to light the damn thing!

No problem man. I couldn't fit a tank that big anywhere in here anyways. The 225 I'm getting instead is 2.5' wide which is better for the fish I'm gonna have so I'm glad to help you out man, what are MFKers for?:headbang2

So my 125 has been looking a little small these days. (Thanks in no small part to MFK and all of you). Well I came across a deal I just couldn't pass up........300 gallons for 350! I don't wanna do the whole Aro/Dat/Cichla thing that's just been done to death already. So what's the next best thing? For me it's a toss up between a Monster SA/CA or a monster Frontosa colony. My 125 is already an African tank so monster SA/CA it is! The dimensions are 96"x24"x30". I already have a 10" Midas, a 5" male Festae and a 6" wc female festae arriving today. I would actually like to have a nice selection of male fish to breed with my female Kamalau FH. So if this were your tank what would you stock. I have a few thoughts as to what I want, and I'll share those after I hear from some of you!

Thanks.

Heres my best advice bro.
Not about he or she has done..nor seen etc.
It is all about what you like at the end...even though as you say,
"thing that's just been done to death already."
I wish you luck haha..show me some pics when you get it going bro.
Now davey can pay for the fish he wants from me!
 
Yep, keeping the 125 for my Africans, my g/f said they have to stay, they're pretty LOL.

It just seems like everyone here that has a tank larger than say 240 gallons, has pbass aros and dats, not that they're not kickazz fish, cause they certainly are. Like I said I'm not big on aros, at least not the ones we can get in the states (I'd LOVE to have a red aro) I will have a few pbass in there, I've always loved those fish, even before I started keeping fish, I used to catch them down at my grandfathers place in FL and have always been facsinated with them. In fact a friend of mine and I are planning a monster pbass fishing trip on the Amazon for next year! I like SA/CA's for their size, look and attitude. And the plus side is if I do this I'll have a stable of male fish to pluck out and put in with my FH to produce some cool new varieties of flowerhorns ;)
