i'm moving into a new house in about a week or so, i chose this house due to the vast amount of space for my fish and the 2 car garage.
don't have actual measurments but the finished basement where my oscars will be is about30ftx15ft and i'm thinking of building a tank to simulate a slow "river", meaning current in one dirrection.
my thoughts are 24"wide/20"tall/24ft long, it would be shaped like a u around the perimeter of the room on one end, it'll be plywood with flat glass, i could make the rear wall curved to keep the current smooth, the glass corners would have a 45 degree angle opposite the rear curve.
the big question is how big of a pump to create this slow current? jets could be placed throughout to keep it moving, have the overflow on one end and the return on the other......should work right?
best guess is about 500-600 gallons.
your thoughts?
