wow . . . this tank is amazing. i WOULD LOVE TO OWN ONE. . . where did you get this from? what is home made? I tried googling searching for one and could really find nothing. . . I want t eventually get build a large tank 350-500 gallons and most of my research leads to using plywood. . . but this tank looks much larger then most , I believe due to the bow front face, its very immersive. . . which is what makes me like it so much

any specific reason you got rid of it? I been researching tanks for quite a while now and to date and it is the coolest looking tank ive seen so far, more so than than any of the plywood builds . . . When I search google for google 500 gallon bow front. . . this what i get https://www.google.com/search?safe=strict&biw=1920&bih=1019&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=%22500+gallon%22++bowfront.&oq=%22500+gallon%22++bowfront.&gs_l=img.3...7807.10294.0.10624.2.2.0.0.0.0.63.125.2.2.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.0.0.OM22BH7S-CI

Essentially I get nothing. . . or at least nothing close to what you had :(

What lighting system did you have on this tank?
Alfredo Rosado
Alfredo Rosado - 7 years ago
Combination if t5 lights on timers and LEDs for when I want lighting at the moment. There are night leds on timers as well, dim enough so you can barely see the spectrum. Looks pretty cool.

Very nice stet up.Honestly though it is to un-natural and fish do not stand out. Pure black back with dark substrate Black) and mixture of rocks and dark plants would make your discus  and whole tank pop.
Alfredo Rosado
Alfredo Rosado - 8 years ago
Appreciate the comment. That tank is long sold buddy. In fact I went thru several tanks since then. I'm building a 10'x4'x4' plywood tank now and its almost complete. I will be adding lighter background (blue).. And different fish.

Looks like a dentist office aquarium. Big ass tank with sissy fish in it. I'll trade you my 300gl for that tank and give you a 20 inch jardini.
Alfredo Rosado
Alfredo Rosado - 9 years ago
@Brian Houston.... wow, insult then a barter request,.... how can I beat that? check my other vids, ive been thru countless big tanks with just about every other freshwater fish. I sold all these fish. never had a jardini but not my type of fish. I bght this tank after I sold my 320 gallon. It was to small for at the time. I got tired of the discus (and very pricey) and bght a 125 gal after, sold that then a 220 gal and sold that. now I have a 320 again but acrylic now and Im keepin this one. it houses different types of freshwater sharks and other fish. ill post vid soon.
