I am picking up a West African Lung this weekend and was wondering if I could see other people setups. I have a 190 gallon that it will be housed in, but it is only 17 inches long currently. Are there any drawbacks to putting it in such a large tank now? I also have an empty shallow 80 gallon with a large footprint to grown him out for a little while. Please post those pics and feedback would be great. I've researched lungs for awhile, but wanted those with experience to chime in. Thanks.
 
from my experience lungs seem to be more active in tanks that are larger

just give him a space to get out of the light and there shouldnt be any problems
 
actually something just occurred to me if it is a large tank then it may be slightly too deep for the lung, i would suggest having a large smooth rock in one corner to allow it to 'stand' on when it breathes
