Picked up a 535

[mrrobxc]

Really nice tank, wonder what's gonna stop you with so much acrylic available to you.

Money. I used up almost all of my fish proceeds from my sale for this tank, a 280 setup coming tomorrow, and some stock.

Stock already purchased: 6 Crenicichla Multispinosa, 6 cichla Orinocensis, and 2 cichla intermedia

Thank you!

I’ll let you know. It’ll be a few weeks before I have the 280 running to get some fish delivered.

A think a Suriname biotope would be amazing. The geos are available from Wes. Jeff has festivals and angels from Suriname right now too. Wow. Can’t wait to see pics.

The best part is...I’m not sure. I get to plan it out without feeling limited. Definitely SA. Crenicichla and cichla for sure. Just don’t know what else.

This tank will take a few months before it’s ready. Too much I have to learn first. Like plumbing. Getting a stand built, and getting this thing polished. The scratches are minor so I have to figure out how to get them out and also see if I need to add Weldon or something to the white dots I see in some of the edges.

Sounds like a great plan.

never dreamt of this day coming. Figured I’d be lucky if I found at least a 400. Thanks Dragon Hunter for finding this deal. 535 gallon acrylic with 180 gallon stand.

Got to give it some elbow grease. Find a stand and a pump. I’ll be asking a lot of questions.

More to come.

Awesome find, congrats. With your scaping abilities I can't wait to see this beast set up.

Thank you sir! If only money weren’t an issue. But it’ll take me quite some time to get this one up and running.

Thank you sir! I kept all my wood from my former tanks in PA. I hope I have enough of it for this tank and the 280.

Build a 2x4 Stand, cost me 60$ in wood for my 8x4 frame before the plywood top

I’ve never built a stand before and don’t have the necessary tools but I’m compelled to learn since that stand design is clean and appears relatively simple to do. Might be time to learn. Do you think a wooden stand like that can hold the tank along with a 180 gallon sump on the bottom?
