Just out of curiosity fishdance. Where abouts did you buy your pacus? I've only ever seen them at Under Water World (Public Aquarium)(Queensland).

you can get them at petsmart and wally world in America pretty much any lfs has them.
 
whew! nice save, however im hoping those pacus dont shatter the tank they are in now before you can get that 700 up and going... i would be worried sick about it lol

Just so your aware, my Pacu chew through my pool liners. Since my pools are about 10,000L there has always been plenty of warning (mess) and enough time to set up another pool but they have done this three times now. They will eat glass heaters and chew power cords too. Just take some precautions. I keep the holed liners inside the new liners and put all cords inside PVC pipe.

This is interesting information ... chewing power chords ouch ... i better starting thinking of PVCing my cables. I have 2 Pacus living with Silver Aros
 
I think that alone is a lesson learned. that may be tachnically enough to hold the water in but realistically its barely enough. is that one pane of glass with a support in the middle of it? imo that is another catastrophe waiting to happen. 1 crack will destroy the entire front of the tank. the longer the crack the worse the catastrophe. I woulda used 2 seperate pieces one for each window.
