1275 gallon tank! What would you do?

[rage]

I would want a stand to
1) Hide equipment under it.
2) Get the tank off the ground to give you the head pressure to siphon stuffs off the bottom.

[schance]

i would say bring it off the ground a little justenough to get filtration like 1.5-2 ft and then with regard to livestock y dont u start a poll.

Only problem with being on the ground is even at 54" a good viewing would need the top of the tank to at least be at the top of the average persons head which would put it the top at 68-72" which means you have to lift it 1ft. IMO

I thought this too...but an VERY worried about the legality, not to mention, having kids around the tank, an the other critters we keep here.

Yeah, they're definitely NOT legal...

What is more rare than an healthy, happy oscar with plenty of room?!?!

If I was to spend that much money, and dedicate that much time into making it work, I defiantly would be doing something rare, instead of your typical LFS stock.


GL, and please keep us updated as this project goes.

IF the the tank is going to be inside then again I would recommend strongly that you simply put the tank on the ground. No need to build a stand for it. At 54" tall it would be perfectly fine sitting on the ground. Again filtration is what I would be looking at the most right now..

How low are you going to put the top from the ground?

He is still drawing that all out, whether to put it all low to the ground...or build me a step stand for the tank....

if i spent that much time and money on a tank,i'd want something more rare,or elite.
your hubbies idea would be ok.
i'm more partial to tangs,but its your tank!

Time yes...he is going to have a bit of time invested in this thing...but money....he got the glass for free, something just lying around the shop, he has already got the angle iron, an square iron for the stand/frame...bout the only thing is the silicon to buy, an he can get that for CHEAP because of the company.....
