  • 235 Gallon Quarter Cylinder Dental Office Tank

    So I want to get a tank for my dental office. The space that makes the most sense is the corner of the lobby, so I am pretty much set on this tank:

    Just wanted to get any thoughts and recommendations for lighting, filtration, and stocking. I plan on doing CA/SA fish, just not sure what to get yet. The footprint would be 48x48x30. Oh and if anyone has an idea of where I could get this type of tank for cheaper, that'd be great too, this is the only one I could find online. The company offers to add a sump, but I figure I can save money by putting in my own filter. I have used FX5 and FX6 at home with no problems, except that they can get slightly noisy. No idea how I would light this thing.

    Thoughts?

    Since it looks like you'll be spending a small fortune on tank, stand, and canopy alone, I'd recommend something affordable for lighting. LED floodlights are a great option, and you could light the tank magnificently for around $100. As far as filtration, I think a large sump is your best bet (minimal maintenance, you can hide equipment, and you wouldn't need any other filtration). A group of geophagus, and a school of tetra, rasbora, or something similar would be awesome

      For that price, you might even be able to get a custom setup through a shop like ADG

        Thanks, I'll talk to ADG for a quote. I was def considering a group of geos, but it would also be cool to have one or two larger growing cichlids as well, maybe a severum or Oscar, although an Oscar would prevent me from getting small schooling fish.

          With a tank that size you've got a lot of possibilities. It all depends which route you're looking into

            I got a pretty good deal from Fish Gallery here in Austin for a semi-circle 60x30x30ish tall with stand and canopy. They have a nice store in Houston as well.
