hello i thought i should move to this side of the fish keeping world as i have a few big ideas that im going to put in the works

1 my fish room in my basment
2 my 180g that im tryin to plan out
3 my fish breeding business

so hello and i hope to be able to learn some info on how to accomplish the big plans i have

hi chef!!! nice to meet you!!! sounds like its a good plan. hope to see you around!!
 
welcome
 
i thought i should list what i have for tanks
33g baby needlenose gar (setting up a 70g for him )
33g electric yellow tank
33g flitter tank to the ones who ask in reality my fresh food section
55g with 7" rescued oscar , 6" rescued jack dempsy, 4 2" green terror 1 2" jack demp
3" firemouth and 5" pleco
55g with feeders helpin to cycle it
50g with 3 7" columbian shark and 2 very big convicts
70g grow out tank for my 25 or so baby cichlids
180g gettin ready to fill with water and thinkin hard what to put in it
about 15 10-20g tanks empty to be used for fry and quarentine


planned fish room will have about 15 tanks to start but will end up with 40 or so but want to plan that baby out properly though i do know im gonna run a common fill line along the wall behind the tanks with pressure fitting and fill stations along the way as well with a common drain pipe along the wall for ease of wc

gonna build a center tank in my fish room outta plate glass thinking dimensions of 8 feet long by four feet high by four feet wide

for my breeding program im looking into the kind of fish that pet stores dont sell as there are lots of people here who want the bigger fish but the pet stores only carry what the general public wants and im looking at rarer stuff as well will list the kinds when i get my decision an market studying done

now heres where i get crazy since i live in saskatchewan we are not tropical at all and since im a chef i do foodservice picture this

a 6 thousand square green house with huge tanks and a place where people can sit an eat and enjoy the day also a facility that doubles as a place to hold wedding reception etc.... and i know that fish water is the best thing to water plants with but this is a future plan about four years away

people think im crazy but im not crazy im just a big kid who happens to be able to start to put his passion an vision into play i saw the video of the person from yoru club who did the 50000 gallon tank and said yup its time i do my dream

thanks so much for the warm welcome

well,
since ur in the food industry look for live channa. dont ask just look up plz. that would b a nice plate glass tank. if u don't have the room then look up gachua. always b on the look out for algae eaters. cichlids are best off with the substrate that sets the ph right.
