My 300

[Robert S]

Here's the 300 I bought last January and the worthless stand that came with it.

I had to finish my entire basement in order to set it up, so that was some big incentive!
Down the steps....

On the newly made Oak stand

First fish--(By the way I couldn't find a filter for fingerprints.

Water and some driftwood.....I'll post some fish pics soon

View up the steps--

This tank is a long dream come true. I've been keeping fish for 27 years and finally have a BIG tank. (relatively speaking in this forum of course)

Nice tank gonna put something big in it? BTW perfect size spot for that tank to.

Thanks for the comments!!

It's 8x2widex30high....I know most Monster fish keepers prefer 30 deep instead of high but I got a good deal and the height really looks good in taking up the wall space. Floor to top of tank is about 64 inches tall so it really hits near eye level for the average sized person.

Stock list so far: 17 inch Marbled Pim, 2 12-14 inch Oscars, 4 big Silver Dollars
Also 2 Dempseys and a Midas but I'm not sure they're going to stay long term. I'm thinking of going a little more mellow with big Tinfoil Barbs, Severums, but I also like VIeja species. Any suggestions??

I'll post pics in the next day or so when the water clears up a little.
