I do find this thread a bit amusing. In addition to my indoor tanks, I have an ~100ft x 10ft creek running through my back yard. The creek is stocked with bluegills, catfish, and suckers. I have constructed retaining walls with open cinder blocks to provide numerous caves for the fish to hide. I feed more food to the outside fish than I do to the inside ones.

What I find amusing is the reference to the "mega" sized tanks over 200G in this thread and how small these tanks are in comparison to a natural environment.

I can envision placing a relatively "tiny" 400G tank in my creek with just a couple inches of the frame sticking out above the water line and how cramped it would be for a group of fish to be stuck in there. To make a bad situation worse, they would have to swim in the same urine saturated water for a week before half of it was replaced with fresh water.

I enjoy watching my outdoor fish swim full speed in a 100ft plus creek in fresh running water. I feel sorry for my indoor guys and have started moving to smaller fish because my 125-150G tanks are just way too small.

Hey! I've got a creek in my back yard too! Well, actually it's a river. They pull out lots of salmon and steelhead. We've had river otters swim by and hiss at us.
I have the sounds of the river to listen to at night.
