 That is AMAZING!!
I wish that I had an old garage that I didn't need to turn into a tank.
Of course, I'd probably end up living in there by myself, since my wife would probably leave me

I wonder how expensive it would be to do that??
Because, a nice, brand new tank and stand setup can be several thousand

Yet, sadly, that tank, despite being circa 3750-5000 gallons, is arguably a bit small for one Arapaima, much less three with big tankmates like two gar and a TSN.

Very easy....3" drain hose, and a small fire-hose to fill. Filtration would be easy enough to engineer, but require some fair lucre to power.

I've seen tanks that size filtered with swimming pool filters.

I would love to have something like that set up with African Cichlids or like 500 Tetra's schooling.

Well I have trouble sometimes keeping the water temperature regulated for my tank refills. I can only imagine if you had that much to fill :P

I'd imagine a propane heater and a several hundred gallon holding tank for water changes.

I tried translating the page with Babelfish... It's not much more intelligible, but still a pretty funny read!
