I would like the tank to serve both saltwater and freshwater environments. The number of fish it will accommodate will depend on the types and size of fish.
Monster Fish Tank Size?
- Thread starter aquaventions
- Start date
i would go with a 360gal tank. 8'x3'x2'. That size tank wouldnt be to hard to filter,heat or light. plus i love those dimentions!
You are best to opt for a tank that you can afford. Any fish that recieves more water is a much happier fish.
aquaventions;1304547; said:I have an idea for making large fish tanks, but I'm wondering what size to go with initially. If my ideas pan out the tanks will be stronger and less expensive, but the trade off is that I have to stick with one size between 200 and 500 gallon.
I thought perhaps a 400 gallon aquarium 72"x36"x36", but I would like to hear what other people think.
Are you talking about manufacturing large fish tanks to sell?

As far as filtration I'm looking into using a mechanical filter that combines micron filtration (1 to 20 microns) with centrifugal separation at 100 gpm flow rate. Then follow it with (not necessarily in this order) a protein skimmer, ozone or UV, biological filter, nitrate selective resin bed, and an oxygen concentrator.

Yes. There are a number of technical challenges I'm working to overcome though before I know whether or not it's feasible.
