Here is a video I shot of Hank a couple days ago. In my experience by the way he does not enjoy the current. It usually stops him from being active.

I'd say roughly 24 inches including tail as he takes up half the tank when facing one end in the 75 gallon.

The week following the disaster I met with a custom tank manufacturer. After talking and weighing options etc, I decided to go with a 72x48x24 360 gallon tank. Half inch acrylic all around with a 3/4 top. This would be put on a custom steel stand with adjustable feet. There would also be an overhead...
