Ok OK ...Relax everyone!

I know this sounds like a wonderful story Oddbark16, but you really need to slow down in your typing... have a thought as to what you want to say...type it ... read it back and ask yourself if that makes sence to someone who isn't in your head or have a clue what your talking about...

That said...

How are you involved in this build??? this is a commercial application which would be done through a contracted company with experience in building tanks... ie someone that can calculate the size of a tank (So I'm assuming that is not you)

Who exactly are you speaking with...a school ... school board... third party company?

What are you talking about raising money for animal care?

You said that they told you the kids are really excited for the new tank... yet it's not been determined WHERE it's going... I doubt that anyone would have been told that it is happening.

Have you been approching people to adopt your fish or were you contacted out of the blue?

I have a million others but we'll see if you can answer some of these before we try anything more...

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.....

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....

also they all said their kids their are all really happy bout this new animal ehibit they get to have at their school...

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...

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 =)

Yup....the filtrations im not so sure bout what they are going to use....but its going to be Huge

But 1 detail they kinda said when we talked...was that they were going to use a 5,000 gallon Wet/Dry with some Fx5s just for a lil more filtration....i think bout 10 of them they said...or more...

but i bet this is going to only open after half a year to a year to open fully since the size tanks needs to cycle.....and need to clear out of any particles as all tanks get when newly made or just new..

yea....they told me last weekend that their are going to get all the possible filterations they can get and afford with the rest of the money....plus the fixture on top will be pretty long and strong

ill keep you guys all posted on this forum soon when i get a recent call or anything of that sort later....

They are only in the drawings at this point since they need this to be flawless for a flooding in the school could be catastropic...

Why would a school do this? The water and electricity required would cost thousands. I would think someone with your importance would have better spelling (in red) and grammar. Perhaps this isn't real, just another way of airing your daydreams Skylar?
