I have heard all acrylic will bow unless really overbuilt. This is why I added the bracing so I wouldn't have to risk seeing it. From reading acrylic is going to bow a lot more than glass as it is more flexible.

Yeah, the bulging was what the previous owner had said he noticed so I added the euro bracing as it is 1/2 inch all around with a full 1 inch up front. I then added the cross bracing as well to try to really reduce the top from bowing out. It was a more economical option as a 1/2 piece that I...

So far the weight was the biggest things I've noticed, which I would say was similar to a 75 glass tank. Actually, working on the tank seems a bit easier. When I made my sump I needed to use silicone, keep it in place for hours let it set etc. With acrylic adding the top bracing was so easy...

Thanks, still not sure how I feel about acrylic vs glass other than it is a lot easier to move. Yeah around that about 175 with the outside dimensions , but if taking the size of the 1/2 acrylic of side and the 1 inch for the front view it turns into 58 inches long 26.5 wide and 24 tall so 159...

At first I read that you didn't feed him for a year and was confused... then i read the other comment and it makes sense. Still a beautiful fish, and waiting to see your kingdom aro!

Here it is as it stands right now. As you can see still have the 304 going on the side, and that is because I didn't bring a powerhead with me and a bit of a deadspot in the corners. Also helps with establishing the new tank. Plan is to take all that media and put it into the sump but was...

Just got around to the bracing last night as I need to get this thing out of the kitchen... Got the top braced now with 1/2 inch around the 3 sides, as the front already had a 1/4 brace, so just added 1/4 there to make it all flush Then put the cross braces in just as I wanted to have...

Congrats!

Looking at a hb most likely but not sure yet. Got some read head tapajo's and bigger clown loaches to put in as well. Just finished up the scraping... probably the sissiest thing to say that my thumb is bruised from the pressure on the plastic blades haha. I think I will try to get the bracing...

Picked up a tank from bcaquaria. It measures 5 feet by 29 wide by 24 high Here is what I saw before I got it: So I went to Vancouver to get it and realized that the stand wouldn't fit into van and just took the tank. So first thing first I built the stand: Then painted it ...

Welcome to the forum, looking forward to seeing some of the fish that are coming in

I didn't expect that at all and thanks for putting that up as that is what I was thinking about doing. Now it has me second guessing my red head tapajos with my next aro. For some reason i always thing of the aro as a big bully, but forget that when they are younger and smaller they are...

I was actually trying to order one from them for about 4 months before I got my merlion aro, but it always fell through for some reason. They are really impressive once they get massive, but I found the tank to be a bit lonely with just the one fish

I miss my aro(s) and my 180 gallon. I think the one fish I think about the most though is my black piranha. I just think of the size it could be right now if I had kept it this time. Oh well oh well, looking forward to the new year with new fish

That is awesome to hear! A great farm with awesome reputation. Welcome to the forum and hopefully we see more DFI fish coming over. The BBXB I had for a bit was really nice.
