Bloody hell, a 1000 gallon pond, bet that was something?

If I ever won loads of money on the lottery, I would purchase a really big house, have a huge extension built with a massive indoor pond. The pond would be about 6 foot deep and you could walk around the edge and look through windows , Little bit like a commercial aquarium, or when you watch dolphins. I would have the most advanced filtration possible, the stuff that you find in the big aquariums. Apart from the obvious Oscars, I would have arowana and pacu and massive shoals of tetra. Mind you, I would have to win a few million.

Oh well, it's nice dreaming, back to reality now

The pond was amazing it was built from concrete blocks with a 3 x 3 1inch thick glass at the front i used to sit with him for ages and watch the interaction of the fish. The plecs even spawned in the tank and he got around 100 small plecs which he sold to the lfs. He also had 2 5x2x2 tanks linked up to it. The room was heated by a small gas wall heater which was ample for the pond and used to keep it at around 80 degrees. Here is a pic of my set up when it was feateured in practical fish keeping sorry its a bit tatty but it was back in 1994

From what I can see, it looks really impressive. Hopefully you can post some better pictures in the gallery at some stage. The problem with this hobby, the more you get into it, the bigger you want to go. Don't think I'm going to be able to get any bigger than 300 gallons though. Not unless I move, or even better win the lottery that reminds me, must start in the Euro lottery again.

I just replied to your pm about the dvds but im not sure if it was sent to you it said that it didn't authenticate to the server.Can you check and get back to me

We all dream of tropical ponds. My girlfriend says I would convert a whole room to a fish tank if I had the money and a big enough house. She isnt wrong.


Dinger your tanks look good. If you have some better pictures it would be nice if you could post them

I have got some really good pics somewhere they are the ones that pfk photographer took but i cant remember where they are at the moment. I have posted the whole article so it is readable on my website couldn't do it here because of the file size. Just waiting for permission to add the link to a thread.
