big tank

[BiGFiSH220]

Hmm, well your tank might be big enough to house what I have in my 75g tank according to some ppl here or my brackish and goldfish tanks for that matter

Hmm, also following the recomended water changes suggested atleast 50% weekly... I would probably have to get a second job to pay the water bill and probably have to install larger pipes in my plumbing. On a more serious note I would make sure the floor can handle that kinda weight! :hang:

Freshwater... dunno. Marine - maybe a shark and a big old puffer like at the lfs here.

This post is what i was looking for. Its good to know im not the only one noticing that this site promotes WAAAAAAAAY too frequent water changes. 25-30% a week TOPS!!! Or your gonna re-cycle your tank.

Eh..no...no you don't.
And loaches..you are overstocked in more than just the 75...you need about 20 to 30 gal per goldfish...

That is rediculous. Water changes will not cause your tank to recycle. Bacteria live in the filter/substrate/decorations, not in the water.

Please do some research on the subject.

If it were me, I would do a couple of big american cichlids, like oscars, Jack Dempsies, Green terrors, an arrowana. Then a nice cat or two and a pleco. Man I wish I had a tank that big.

The average house hold uses 100 gallons per person per day, so even changing 300 gallons a week won't make a difference in your water bill.

I dont know much but i can say that some chilcheds would look wonderful.

I agree with Stingray....cichlids will do well in that tank. I would stay away from Tiger Shovelnose or Red Tailed Cats...they will still get waay too big..and tend to make a light lunch out of any tankmates...

good luck with whatever you chose!!!
