Hello,
I have a idea that i need all of the opinions you guys can give to me and other suggestions on like this one....i was thinking of a 4,000-6,000 gallon concrete tank with 4x 4' long plexi glass by 4' high...on the front of the 18' long tank that going to be placed in a school in Toronto,Canada....The tank dimensions are massive.....its going to be 18'L x 8'W x 5'H but im not so sure if its actually good enough for their listing of my fishes with theirs.....ima going to put in their my baby 1" RTC and 2" TSN and my RTC x TSN Hybrid thats 4" in their school tank....Also my 6x 6" Silver Arowana and 1x 5.5" Jardini Arowana.They also wanted some other predacious fishes that i have...and so i told them i can give them my 8x 4" Mixed Peacock Basses so like many types of Peacock Basses like Tems,Orinos,Mono,ETC....Im also going to give them a Black Arowana that i got from this one guy who gave me their 3" one for $100....its alright to me that i give them my fishes....ill still have 1 RTC x TSN Hybrid.....in my 180 gallon tank...And as for their list of fishes....they want to add some rays....in their with couple of Common Plecos....and some Gars....They told me that some voted that they want one giant fish in their as the main attractions....i said try getting some Piraracu's...Arapaima....but what do you guys think bout this....is it too crowded and if not would the Arapaima be a great center attraction for the kids to enjoy and learn new things bout them? Let me know what you guys think....They'll all will start building the Massive tank later in Febuary.....
 
Wow!!! that sounds nice. What school in Toronto is this going into? Just wondering because I lived there for 48 years. It kinda makes me wonder when they say they don't have any money for ecucational things but have enough to do this tank....At least it is a great learning experience.
 
well im not sure yet but they'll tell me in advance later on soon when they pick out which of the schools have the best area to place the large tank in....and well that 18' x 8' x 5' was one thing they thought of getting placed in....but their last one they told me on the phone was A VERY MASSIVE LENGHT of 33'L x 27'W x 15'H.....how many gallons do you guys think they will construct this into...?bet its way way way larger then a couple thousand gallons....maybe even 14,000 gallons or even further....
 
and as for their budget they been getting was not really the case....our animal care fundraisers around here in California have raised over $783,656 in one year lenght....we started this around January 1 at around 8 A.m....
 
From what they are planning their in Canada....they said all their parts in making the tank...is going to be shipped all from across the US and some shipment from other places around the world...Also for this type of tank....they will construct a extra room on the side of the school to put as a Amazonian exhitbit where the kids can enjoy watching their fishes....swimming their...
 
I guess they would like the exhibit.....Who wouldn't? Geez at 33'x27'x15' it works out to 99,917 gallons. Man that is going to need one heck of a filtration system.
 
and as for help its really fine....we have 13 people from different places around the world just to help out making these kids life more happier with natures creations...Thanks Tho =)
