WTB: Large Tank

[Domboski]

I'm looking for a large tank. Something that is 8' long and 3' wide would be perfect. If you have something in that range or larger let me know.

Thanks!

sounds like it..I was thinking the same when I move.. big tank w/ sharks

Not necessarily for sharks. My Australian Cowfish are getting huge! lol I want to be able to keep other fish with them too.

Just yesterday I was told of a huge tank.Is 8 feet the longest you can go?I will let you know after I speak to the guy.I was told the tank was in a department store.

 

[Domboski]

AWESOME!

I can go longer I just need to make sure that the height is less than 28" so I can fit it through the doorway

ever think about building a tank that large?

 

[Domboski]

I would never trust myself building a glass tank that big. They dont leak, they explode! :lol2:

 

[brunoboarder2444]

lol just a suggestion, maybe acrylic?

this is a random side note but maybe get 2 smaller either 4 or 6 foot and do this

or even more than two and have a chain of them lol

ive also seen someone do it with clear plastic pvc and normal pvc elbows

 

[Domboski]

Wow that is interesting. Thats an idea if I can't find what I am looking for. Thanks!

 

[brunoboarder2444]

lol not a problem ive always found them cool

i would assume you would need some sort of aqua lifter to get it started? or a big syphon tube.. lol it would suck if it lost its syphon for some reason and like a surge tank here comes the water and over the top of your tank to the floor.. lol ..oops

still pretty cool tho!

the guy who i read did it with pvc said he just submerged the tubes in the tank to fill it with water and put the caps on it underwater lifted it out flipped it over and it hasnt changed since....and you wont lose suction in it ever as long as the water level in both tanks stay above the edge of the tube(kind of like when you lift a bucket out of the water upside down without breaking the surface)....the flow system was even built around it, he had the return in one tank and the drain in the other so it flowed into one tank through the tube and down the drain(it did this because the tube would make the tanks equalize the water levels)....god i wish i could find that article now
