Yes, it is pretty big. Quite looking forward to getting it up and running. However, don't be under the impression that I am going to put lots of fish in it, I'm not. I'll probably have around seven fish. I want to give them plenty of space. I want to have some really nice decor with just a few fish, I reckon that would look better than having a tank absolutely packed with fish

Only seven fish in that monster tank. It seems a shame not to have a few more than that. You could have more with out overstocking. However you do what you think looks best for you because it is your tank!!! Also with only 7 fish the maintenance is reduced!!!!

It would be very tempting to pack the tank with loads of fish. But then the tank maintenance would be huge. 20% water change would be 60 gallons. That's half of what I've got at the moment and that takes nearly an hour. Having a sump makes life a lot easier. If I stock it sensibly, I may be able to go a month between water changes. I'll probably have to go a little bit of maintenance in between, but hopefully not too much.

What other fish are you going to put in the tank? It looks pretty awesome.


Good Luck!!!

Haven't decided yet

OscarFL, I have a post on a diffrent forum of my 240gln if you want to check it out. The thread isn't the best quality but it shows the basics of the whole setup, sump, water changer, and all with lots of pics. http://board.fishchannel.com/
Look in the general fresh water. The thread is dust shark habbitat. It's a newb site that is part of FAMA and IFM network and I posted it there so newbs could get a little insight on there developing addiction.....LOL..... I also like helping newbs start in the right direction.
