Hello fellow fish people. I thought I'd showcase my 1000g fish bar that I just recently finished building. I have been building plywood tanks for almost 10 years, but this is definitely the biggest I have done. It took many months as It was a solo build with the occasional help of my lovely wife ( and doggies) . Hope you enjoy
Dimensions are : 300cmx 190cm x 120cm ( L x W x H)
Sump 6'x3'x3', which is also a plywood build.
Stocking:
Ocellaris bass 16"
Vittatus tiger 16"
Hoplias curupira 14"
Florida gars x3 14-17"
Hydrolycus tatauaia 9"
Indo datnoid 6"
Oscars x2 12"
Silver dollars and bala sharks
I'm happy to say that there is absolutely 0 aggression, despite some of the larger predators being very much capable of hurting the dithers. I attribute this to keeping the tank very well fed and having lots of wood and pipes in the display. The fish have grown up together, many I have had since they were tadpole size . I do have the front part of the sump as a free tank if things change as the fish get bigger, namely the tigerfish.
Water is changed every week at around 40% . Nitrates and ammonia sitting at 0.
If there is interest in any specific fish I am happy to showcase them individually . I also took photos of the build process so if you would like to see them also , let me know.
Please enjoy
