In November i picked up a Barca, it was 11" approx.

Since then it has been housed in a 70 gallon tank. 36"*24"*20" are the tank dimensions.

Now that I got some leeway to bring a tank in the house, I am building a 90 gallon tank with a larger foot print for the barca.

I got a cabinet made of wood and laminate so that it goes well along with the furniture and doesn't look very out of place.

Here's the cabinet on which the tank would be placed

Over the weekend the tanks were made

Here's the new entrant into the house, moving in from the fish room to the house

Drilling the intake and outlet for the filter

Intake is kept the center, as I plan to put Mbbr as the insect diet of the Channa always creates a thick bio film

Two outlets so that would reduce the gurgling noise, as I plan to put a 2000 ltr/hr pump to the filter

Channa holy grail right there, gorgeous fish mate.
 
Amazing jib. :)
Aren't you afraid if not having a middle reinforcement on the tank?

Either way, fts when you get to that! ;)
