Thats awesome dudeIt's still a far cry from my 3,000 gallon Pondarium/AquaPond
but hey, it's 6 feet long by 5 feet high and 40" Wide.
I think it'll make a good home for my Cichlas, Payaras, Some Arowanas and maybe a trio of Stingrays

Its too small long run even for those. it isnt wide enoughi love it, that's good for pangasius fish or red tail
Interesting tank, Bob. Different. Looks like you lucked out as it fits in that nook well. The con is it will be more difficult to set it up and service with the only excess from the front and it being so high and limited room between the tank top and the ceiling.
If you will, consider making a thread (or update an existing thread) on what has been happening in your 3K so we all learn from your experience. That'd be quite generous of you to let us learn and try to avoid the costly developments you have witnessed.

Sorry guys, had a few setbacks with the assembly The bottom panel broke upon transport :/ anyhoo, it'll be cycling in a few weeks once it's done
filtration will be part 1 - emerged with bioballs (DIY Bakki shower type) that drains to a sump tank (part 2) which will have pumice stones and then will run on a same-ish aquaponic system i run for my 3k twards the return pump.

IME and from very little reading on it, lungfish fins and tail are often nipped to no end in community tanks. At least my Africans are and

AUL was to the extent he had to sell it (shocking! Selling such a hard to find fish!).
I think they'd be ok in the most placid communities. Mine is ok with an Indian swamp eel and a juvi wels.

Lungfish can also deal serious damage to other fish, they have real bony plates for teeth. I wouldn't reccomend it since it could go bad either way
