So I recently picked up a 100 gallon tank. I am planning this one out more as pretty much all my last tanks have been more or less "planned on the fly."
The tank is 48"x18"x24" with a built in overflow wet dry in the back. I am still working out the details on what I am going to put in there. So far I know I want Bio-balls in one of the 3 sections, but I wasn't able to find a good sponge for the middle section. The top section I want to have the activated carbon and such for easy replacement. I have 2 rio pumps (one 2100 and one 2500) for the w/d. I will be using a skimmer, but still deciding on model (if it is going to go "in w/d" it has to be able to fit in the 4" opening).
As far as fish go, I am partial to Puffers, but open to others. I was leaning more towards a single fish tank or smaller (3 or less) stock. One fish that I would really like is a map (mappa) puffer. I am not sure if this tank is "big enough" but I am still looking into that, any insite?
So yea, just looking for suggestions on one big fish to go in the tank. It is nice if it is a more personable fish like all the puffers are.
Anyways, fire away
Edit: Attached is a pic of the tank
Edit 2: I also have a hood as well, not pictured. The tank is filthy inside, I still need to clean it out. Also, any potential fish candidates would be nice if they can be ordered online as my local shop is pretty lame about ordering anything special...
