  • Just out of curiousity, how much did it cost you to get this tank all up and running. not including fish.

  • @flowboard04 The build cost was $2700au for absolutely everything except filtration. The front glass was $1400au delivered as 19mm glass here is not real cheap. If I dropped the height a little, I could have used 15mm glass and over halved the glass cost. That said, I thoroughly enjoy the height and look of it and do not regret the extra expense at all. The rest of the tank was built for less than the glass panel and that is even including the Concrete blocks it sits on.

  • u can't do anything better that this but what kind of filtration system ur using though?

  • @ewilddogThanks. You can see the filtration in the build thread. Link is in the vid description. ;)

  • This is an awesome aquarium! How many fish do you have in there and do any of them breed?

    

  • @The0Burger0King No breeding. Thanks. I am sitting at 8 at present in this tank. I like to keep males as breeding causes to much aggression.

  • that jag is still a big boy...

  • I'm thinking about adding another New World Cichlid to my 125 gallon tank. Currently I have a Tiger Oscar and a Jack Dempsey. What other cichlid should I add to my tank thats not too agressive for my tank?

  • Very nice, and omfg NOT an overly stocked nightmare! Seriously, good job on the build and the stocking choices. Seems very balanced, lots of room for everyone to get away from each other. I'm sure they have their days, but I don't see any tattered fins.

  • that is one mean lookin jaguar dude, ive got one about 5in in my tank
