  • new monster tank---300 gallons

    Hey, tropheus and petrochromis fanatics.
    I just wanted to share my new 300 gallon, acrylic tank with everyone. The dimensions are 8 feet X 2 feet X 30 inches tall. I currently have a colony of red rainbows and a huge petro blue giant in the tank. The pictures suck but I wanted you all to see it. Perhaps you can see it in person when we finally get around to having a meeting at my home. Geoff and I will work those details out and get back to you.

      LOL...
      Thanks, docmump.
      I've got a pro clear 300 sump (rated for 300 gallons) and an eheim 2028 on it. Those two filters get the job done.

        You know I have never been a fan of cansister filters, I guess  I should change my mind...

          eheim canister filters are truly great and well worth the money. but my preference is the wet/dry filters. I also like hang on the back filters as well. Simply put, there are a lot of good choices out there on the market regarding filters.

          I have a pro clear 300 on my 150 and the water is always crystal clear. I don't have any other filtration on that tank. In my opinion, wet/dry filters are the best. :)

              hey, delock.

              I bought it from a friend whom kept mobas in it. He sold the mobas to someone from Beaumont and I bought the tank. He wanted me to buy the mobas too, but I am not interested in anything but tropheus and petros. There was no way I was going to pass up the tank. I got a sweet deal on it.

              Yeah, I think we are the beginning of a new trend. Soon everyone else will have a 300.

                    I sure do. I'm also surprised how small my 9 to 10 inch petro looks as well. But I plan on making a colony out of the blue giants. Alex said he can order me some more. I probably should get more red rainbows too.

                      Yeah, Geoff. I can't wait 'til you see it too. I'm going to down size the number of tanks I have. But I am not getting rid of any of my six foot tanks. I'm debating what to do with the 92 gallon corner and my 140 gallon tank. Hmmm.....

                          Geoff is coming over to see the tanks. You're more than welcomed to come to.

                          I live in Katy. Can't remember what side of town you're on. But if you are interested, let me know and I'll tell you how to get here.
