here's a teaser iphone shot of one of the new planted tanks at work, its 10ft and about 3400 litres! this one was scaped by the boss not me but i'll be looking after it. it's been up and running for about 1 and a half weeks, more details and pics to come.....

Looks great! A very natural style with decent low-maintenance plant selection. The sand might be a PITA to maintain though... I don't envy that bit!

Is that locally collected wood? It looks lovely.

Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to updates.

Wow, how many rummy-nose tetras have you got in there mate? Never seen such a big shoal!
Cheers

not sure about 200?

glad to hear you guys like it, after proper measurement the tank its actually 3240L (10ftL x 3ftH x 4ftW) sorry to disappoint! here's some pics from the waterchange today. a 50% waterchange is no small task on a tank this big...

Wow, I only have 6! Have you got any other livestock in there? Tank looks great BTW
Cheers

Excellent mate, really like the hardscape.

It reminds me of the 500l non-CO2 aquarium I built for my father (see video below) but yours looks so much better

[BigTom]

Superb. I'm extremely jealous.

[George Farmer]

Fantastic! Thanks for the update.

 

[Yo-han]

Large tanks alway make me daydreaming!

This is btw the kind of tank that screams for wild discus!

Always wondered about the size of filters and pipework needed to support a tank of this sort of size, can you give more details ?
