My current waterchanging scheduel is something in the lines of that so I don't mind. :]

It's about 134 gallons by my calculations. So above the minimum requirements. Make sure you decorate it well and give him space to hide like a cave or something

Finally an update!

I decided to go all out so I ordered a 900l (just under 240 gallons) tank that should be arriving next week I hope.
The measurements are 200x75x60 (about 6.56 feet long, ~2.5 feet wide and 2 feet tall).

Will post some pics when it gets here. :D

Finally another update!

I had to postpone the new tank plans for a few weeks but finally got to it again!

Just to convince you guys it's really up and running again I'll post some pictures. (Taken with a mobile phone, but still..)

I decided to build my own bench for the new tank and here's some pictures of the build;
