450 Gallon Starfire glass planted tank with Manzanita wood

I think I'm lizzing.

:rofl: :rofl: that was a classic episode.

Amazing wood! Something about turning over a 400+ gallon tank to neons just kills my soul though.

that is def some serious weight, i hope that floor holds up, if its a hgihrise type office building, i would assume the floor could hold a hell of a lot

I'd much rather see a school of 1000 small color fish schooling than a few large "pets".

You see plenty of large tanks with a few large fish, you do not see many with large schools of fish however.

Large fish also make the tank appear smaller than it is, smaller fish make it look larger............

I love watching the tanks you build, develop over time. I'm looking forward to this one coming together.

I'm hoping to see a school of 40 cories to go with the neons.

Eleventeen times agreed on the above! Especially if they are Sterbea, my favorite by far. I would add a large school of Rummynose as well.

I thought the same about not doing the neons at first too but since this tank is in the guys office it makes sense to have a hardy fish that doesn't require any specialty foods etc... I wouldn't have the heart to leave a Fahaka or ray or something to that nature at the office for the weekend....

Plus a school that big would be pretty mezmorizing to watch while NOT working!

Wow...

Many little fish are much better then couple big fish, also less mess.

I owned a Female Jag Cichlid in the past at 15" and it was boring..

I now keep fish species that stay around 1" much for fun with less mess :thm:

You could put allot of small species in a tank that size
