Wow those are probably the weirdest dimensions I've ever seen. How tall is the stand going to be?

Wow huge tank, looks awesome. Maintenance on that tall of a tank could be a real pain though, glad you said cichla, I will be following and best of luck for a smooth setup

I would cut that tank in half length wise and have 2 monster tanks.

18"-24"


Previous life as a shark tank - depth is a blessing.

I know the tank specs are a bit weird but that's my style and fits me perfect - Hell, I would have never made 5 stars 5 diamond's in any of my kitchens if I thought like the rest of the lambs - tu sabe?

Cleaning, figuring it out...it's a challenge - I have 3 kids with wet suits and snorkel gear ready to dive in -

I race cars and play with lots of projects so this should be pretty fun...God knows I have the room at the casa.

While some might be satisfied with 125's this is what drives the blood to buy the monster tanks...

A little work out in a race suit...
