300 gallons...WOOW!!! I bet leveling is all the more important with a tank this huge. What do you plan to put in this mega tank???

I don't think levelling will be too much of a problem. I am having the floor reinforced with concrete so I am going to make sure it's exactly level. I'll take some photos tomorrow.

As for what's going in it, most of the fish I have at the moment. I was going to set up a South American Cichlid tank but I can't bear to part with my two large ClownLoach. So I decided to have a sort of South American theme but with a few foreigners. That being two Syndontis catfish and four ClownLoach. I also have my two red Oscars, hopefully a pair. I will possibly put two or three more fish in but I haven't decided what yet. Oh, forgot about my jade eyed Cichlid, might get a male for her. I might get a Severum. They are quite placid. Other than that, I'll have to wait and see.

I like the Green Severum myelf...
Good choice...

Well, cut the floor out, concrete going in tomorrow.

Now, there's a dedicated "fishkeeper" for you.

(I'm jealous!)

IF I went to my Wife and asked to do something like that?
It would get filled with concrete alright, and I'd be under it, and while she was at it the dog would probably be in there with me too!

:whistle:

you crack me up. Just tell the wife "I'm getting a 500 gallon tank, like it or lump it"

By the way, I have got a spare bed here for you if needed

This sounds absolutely adventurous and very beautifull. Please keep us posted on the developments in that tank. I've recently also started a Malawi tank - also very beautiful. I've got a stand in my living room, containing 3 x 250 litre tanks, so also a huge lot of weight, especially with all the rocks in the Malai tank. Well, enjoy your project, what would life be without these little creaturs
