back to my plans. what do people think? i will put the revised list if i chose to change it with your ideas possibly on it.
revised monster fish tank
- Thread starter ryanj612
- Start date
Revised
revision #3
U shaped design, at each tip of the U the depth would be about a foot, 7 sections; drop off between sections, deepest section would be where the U meets in the center at about 12 feet deep. I figure with the whole pond filled up it would hold about 42900 gallons. I have a design if anyone wants to see it, I will put it on if I can figure out how to do that.
Decor would include:
Driftwood
Lava Rock
Sunken structures
Plants
anything suggestions?
Fish:
Suckerfish
Freshwater Drum
Green Sunfish
Crappie (Black and White)
Bullhead Catfish (Yellow, Brown, and Black)
Common Carp
Koi
Largemouth Bass
Shovelnose Sturgeon
Walleye
Rudd
Chain Pickerel
Any suggestions?
Food fish tank/pond:
Gizzard Shad
Minnows
Shiners
Food fish would be raised on site mostly. Food that would be brought from elsewhere would be inspected before fiving it to the fish.
I would also tell people that if they had fish that outgrew their home aquariums and they called in advance that I might be able to take them. They would get a discount on seeing the tank if I can make it a business. Any suggestions?
Also I am only 17 right now, so this would not be even close to possible in another 10+ years.

I'm not sure if you would be able to breed the gizzard shad, but the shiners and minnows will breed in a small pond. Something about 10'x10'x3' should be more than enough for the shiners. You'd need a second one for the minnows. They need lots of aquatic plants and some sunken structures like driftwood and rock formations. You figure out how to put up those designs yet?

ok i will have 3 small ponds, each pond 10'x10'x3', 1 for minnows, 1 for shiners, 1 for gizzard shad. designs are coming soon, i will start with my design for the monster tank first.
i am having troubles figuring out IF i can even put my plans on this site or the internet in general.
Plans are up on my profile. please check them out and tell me what you think. there are a few details that i left out in the forum but put in the plans, nothing major just my planned power source(s).
