I'm in the process of building my new house and I'm going to build a +- 2000 gal concrete tank with 3 glass panel. The tank dimensions are 20' long x 5' wide x 31" high. The glass panels would be about 32" high and all of them have reinforce concrete/steel frames on all 4 sides
heres a simple illustration of what the tank construction looks like
The tank is goin to be on one side of the wall in my family room
and this is where the tank construction is at the moment
hey Als, i'm in jakarta too. west side.
for filtration I'm building my very own DIY wet & dry system .
I'll upload some pictures when its up and running later
ooow yeah I've seen that tank before, more like a paludarium, but still pretty intense ! That project was actually one of my inspiration in building this big tank.
This huge tank is located in Jakarta, Indonesia which is a tropical country, hence heating is not necessary. The water temp in the tanks here usually is around 27 - 30 C, depending on the seasons.
Many of us who live in this warm and humid climate many times even have to lower the water temp instead by using cooling fan, air con, or chiller.
I would think this tank will be an exception to some of the rules about keeping cichlid sub species together such as cyps and julies. Anybody have an opinion.
