Is this in reference to the XXL Peacock Bass I saw on his order list?

Nope, the Peacock Bass ended up only being 7-8" so they are all just in a 120g for the moment.

Okay, so 96"x36"x24"H comes out to 359 and some change gallon-wise as I figured it....not 300, sorry.

Regardless, if I move the 190g out of my living room and pass my recliner off to my brother, I will have more than 8' area to work with....so, to answer your question, right where the 190g is at the moment.

The 190g I am looking at shoehorning into my bedroom....just have to make a decision on what bedroom furniture would need to go  :-\

And on a structural note, there is a weight bearing heavy beam directly under the spot in question  8)

Very good
Sounds like the spot is less in question

Here's a little kick in the pants though....I just redecorated the 190g and changed it over to a Malawi show tank. I put hundreds of pounds of large round boulders in the tank. Oh well, I guess since I would have to remove it all to put the 190g into my bedroom, I might as well just add several hundred more pounds to the bigger tank  :o.
Or, I've been really wanting to do freshwater stingrays again.
Maybe with a Tigrinis cat to keep the rays company  :-\

Add a couple Peacock Bass, some WC discus, and a couple black / blue arowana.

Okay, freshwater rays is my decision and at least a Tigrinis for now. I would really like to get it done for the fish room tour too  ;)

I keep waiting to hear from Mike Z, aka zchallenger for his suggestion on a very interesting pike cichlid display....which would be sweet too.
