That is one beautiful tank Cichlhadz :) It has to be nice living in a part of the world where you can put something like that outside and not have to worry about it. Does it require a lot of filtration to keep the water clean? You could easily grow plants in there if you wanted to :wink:
 
First thought, wow!

Second thought, partial water changes and... lastly exactly how big is your fish net? :)

That's an awesome tank...bet it would look funny to see about 400-500 smaller fish in there too :)

quite a construction job - congratulations.
