75gallon

[Mc96928]

So id like to start my 75gallon tank so i can get my goldfish in, as well as the tetras and maybe a few other fish if possible but we'll see when the time comes. I'd like to start with buying the lighting. Could anyone suggest a good fixture as well as light bulb.
On top of that, id like a filter to buy. Id prefer canister filter.
If anyone could help me with the construction of this tank. That would be great. I'd really enjoy that.

I personally like the rena canisters. Ive had them forever and have never had an issue.

+1 on the Rena's. I have been using them for a LONG time, and never had a problem. Some of them are 10 yrs. old.

Should i have more than 1 for goldfish?

What kind of goldfish are you talking about? Some get really big

All goldfish reach the same size since they're the same species.

That's odd from what I've read they get anywhere from 8" to over a foot long?

 

[bettaowner]

The size of the tank impacts how fast the fish grows and since they never stop growing they can reach 8 ft given a good tank

Yup. Just lifted this image off google image search. That's an impressive oranda!

You're saying goldfish can reach 8ft?

The largest recorded Goldies are around 19 inches long, far from the 96 inches you're suggesting....

I have 2 commons and 2 fancy. I know they'll get large, especially the commons
