Hi guys,
My name is Maurice and I'm 24 years old and this is my 2nd year into fish keeping.
I recently bought my first house in the Netherlands (province Maastricht) and my girlfriend gave me the green light to build my first DIY aquarium.
It's going to be a plywood bottom with glass sides with a plywood frame with the dimensions of
Length : 180(cm) / 70.87(inch)
Width : 120(cm) / 47.24(inch)
Water height : 70(cm) / 27.56(inch)
I'm not entirely sure what to stock it with but I'm leaning towards stingrays. But I'm not entirely sure if the dimensions are correct for them to keep the rays for life. (I made a topic for advice in another section for it).
I had a Motoro ray before but sadly I was stupid enough to think that i would have my tank upgrade before the ray outgrew the tank but unfortunately this didn't happen and I had to sell the ray... Now I'm doing it the correct way to build the tank before buying the fish!
Currently I have a 500 liter aquarium with a trio of Wild caught Oscars(16-17cm) imported from Brazil (Marajó)
and as soon as a pair is forming I'm going to re-home the 3rd Oscar to my friends indoor pond.
I'm looking forward to a great time on MFK and learn a lot from you guys!
Sincerely,
Maurice/Clothsack
