Awesome!
 
We have no idea on what to stock it with anybody else have any ideas. The dimensions are 11ft x 5ftx 38in and the sump I believe would approximatly 120 gallons. Wich would equal 1400 gallons of water I don't know where I got the wrong dimensions from at the start. The glass on the bottom is 2in thick and 1in on the sides. There are 3 2in pipes and a 1in pipe for the over flow and we have a 1 to 1.5 horse pump to run it. Just can't wait to get it set up.
 
Any idea what that thing weighs? I thought my 280 was heavy

Ok, here's what i'd do.

Sand on the bottom.
On one end a small assortment of largish stones.
On the other End a largish tree stump with wood protruding out of the water in various spots.
Java fern or java moss tied to wood, and some water lilies.
1 Florida Strain Largemouth bass - Female
A school of red ear sunfish.
1-2 bullheads.
Crawdads.
Stainless Steel over head lights hanging by wire.

Not that, that would be a tank to end all tanks. Done right, zoo quality, but better.

I can just see your tank, a 23+ pound Largemouth, and a shimmering school of sunfish and the cats? Oh man, my dream right there!!!!
