front viewing pane is 20mm acrylic way cheaper than the required glass in N.Z.
tank is 4x4 framing, 4 inch polystyrene with glass over that and marine ply exterior
made with 2 front windows to eliminate some of the flex in the acrylic
jar is only about 1/2 the size of the silvers, it was really agressive as a youngster but has settled with age,size and more bigger tank mates
all the aros came with varying degrees of drop eye
biggest aro is just under 3ft
Awesome tank! What is that huge plume of orange on the left of the tank??
that is a plastic plant that was found at the rubbish tip
put it in there to give a bit of cover for any harassed fish

Really nice - I would love to have/build a tank like this. Cleaning and WC may take awhile, but to me all worth it to have something like this. Thanks for sharing!
You DIY set up is a master piece. Great job. For sure your fish love you for it. May we see your custom filtration system?
