300 Gallon Tank

[Helloitsme]

Okay, hypothetically someone has given you a 300 Gallon Tank, it's a typical 300 Gallon glass box, no fancy over flows or anything that. Tank only, no stand no lights no top, what are you going to do with it? Before someone asks, No it does not leak... , discuss.

Hmmm build a custom stand, purchase lids, purchase shop light and make a hood. Then set it up and put Red Zebra's and Ngara White Tail Acei in it and start a couple large conlony's.... Thats what i would do....    Why can i have the tank...

If I was going to make it a show tank I would.....
1. (Stand/Lights) Probably Attempt a home made stand. Really nice one. All trimmed out and what not. Probably a dark cherry or walnut finish. And a canopy to match that would have some a custom led lights installed with a power strip and timers..and an easily accesible power switch.

2. (Filtration/Heating) 100g sump with 2 duel overflows and multiple stages of filtration. Possibly a UV sterilizer and either a couple 300watt Ebo Jager heaters installed submerged somewhere in the sump.

3. Custom Background too...always wanted to do one of those. Would be perfect tank for it too.

Not sure what kind of fish I would do. Ill get back to that. All I know is that if I go that big I will be taking my sweet ass time on the details. Even if it takes a year to complete that is what I would do. I might even lean to either a large group of Mobas. Or maybe even maybe make a killer discus/planted tank with lots of filler schooling fish and rare cats and Plecos.

I guess I really dont know lol.

If I was going to do breeding I might make a decent home made stand and do the same type filtration but then maybe try a large group of fronts or tropheus for breeding.

New home for my fronts. Can I have it?  lol

I would give it to my good friend Chuck in hopes it would mend the fences that caused him to de-friend me facebook.   

[Super Turtleman]

Might need a complete set up for that. LOL!!!

Like I told you Jeff, I deleted my Facebook account. No fences to mend. But if you should happen to come into a new non-leaking 300...

Good answer! Especially the "All I know is that if I go that big I will be taking my sweet ass time on the details." part.

Our friendship has reached the non-leaking tank stage?  LOL.  That's asking a lot.   

That reminds me of a supplier that was taking me on tour of their warehouse and told me that he would make me a fantastic deal on a number of large glass tanks.  Got to the tanks to find a HUGE pile of like 100+ tanks sizes 29 to 150 gallons.  All of which where busted / cracked.  LOL.  Gee thanks...

300g tank? Sounds like a GREAT sump for a 1,000g monster tank 

[JSALADIN]

just the tank?  I would have to cut a hole in the wall and frame out the hole.  This would be a great in the wall tank   I have my saw ready btw. just waiting on the address for pick up    Better yet do you deliver?
