Making my 150g dream tank a reality

[Natalie]

Nice! Do you really think you can just keep one fish in that big tank?

Heck yes, that's the whole reason I got this tank, strictly for a solo Midas. They are my favorite species, and I daresay he won't tolerate anyone else in his tank.

Awesome, I just ordered some driftwood for my tank today. Where did you get that canopy from, was it purchased with the stand or separately?

cant wait to see it full

I got the stand and canopy as a used set on Craigslist. They were originally made by Tenecor.

I can't wait to see your tank!

That's sweet. Can't wait to see it finished. I got one(midas) recently,and he has quickly become my favorite.

Is it a 4' 150?

They are fantastic fish. How big is your Midas? Mine still has so much growing to do but his personality is becoming crazier every day.

The dimensions of the tank are 5x2x2 feet.

^ in this pic it seems much deeper than 24" for some reason. Assuming the tiles are 12" square it makes sense though. Black sand on it's way?

I was just thinking that picture looked a little odd. When I look at the tank in person, the side view looks perfectly square from front to back and top to bottom. I think the Photobucket processing of the photo did something to warp it. But yep, it's 24" deep.

You know, I'm not a fan of black sand anymore. I think it has its place but always looks unnatural in my tanks. I'm getting pool filter sand.

It's an optical illusion caused by the canopy and angle.

It looks Fantastic Natalie!! The lighting looks good too, even without water

I can't wait to watch you put it all together, I know your Midas is going to think he won the lottery

I can't wait!

BEAUTIFUL tank! I'm planning on either one like this or at minumum a 135 after Xmas.

Mine is about 8" now. He hates the gravel vac,and my hand. He has bitten me a couple times. He was around 3" when I got him.
