LOL love the suggestion only 1 problem, my dog is a cat killer LOL not literally but she sees a cat and her pupils flare up to cover all of her iris' its like if i injected her with pure adrenaline, she's an 80 lbs american bulldog. Trust me i've been trying to find her a hobby she'll actually research and enjoy, tried gardening she didnt even bother reading fert instructions killed ALLL the plants first week. I'm finding this ignorance intolerable.

My lil JRT has a serious prey drive. Killed 4 bunnies last week! Already this year, he added 2 garter snakes & an opossum as big as himself.

Looks like your JRT has found his roots. Hope there was enough left to make bunny stew . My JRT likes to chase squirrels thankfully they get a up a tree before he can get them. I don't think I would care much for squirrel stew.

well my custom 300 gallon tank has turned slightly into a 1500 g tank !! very excited to finish this tank.

still debating on filtration system yet, so end size might change once again depending how i have to set everything up. Please need your assistance for deciding on filtration for such a large quantity of water and want to keep the water quality EXCELLENT.\

im essentially building an L (4' width x 10' length x 10' length x 4' width) which leaves 6' x 6' viewing inside the room, and the rest visible from the living room and hall way.

sorry for the crude drawing only way i can get it to show. But yeah this, debating on a sump or canister or both any experienced fellow aquiriast opinions would be greatly appreciated!

So a T shaped tank?

L shaped tank all 3 feet tall by posted dimensions above, its supposed to be a straight line down to for the L shape.

well after doing a 25% water change and then checking the water an hour later i come to find disturbing results. I need to get these Puffers in a bigger tank they're walrus this one alive. PH rather low 7.4, ammonia .30 ppm / NO2 3.5 ppm / NO3 30 ppm.

Need to do more water changes!!

Have you uploaded pics of the tank anywere?

Lots of water changing needed.

still in the process of taking the wall out and working around the support beams and moving them around to make room, although i have bought the glass im going with 1" glass thickness

Sorry if you've already mentioned this but what fish are you going to keep in this massive tank?

no need to be sorry no i have not mentioned it. Still debating whether to go BW or SW, if i stay BW it will be the new home for the Figure 8's if not, swapping the figure 8's to a 55g and build a 50g for the angel fish. the 29 g and 10g are more temporary till i finish the projects.

Wow 1500g for F8's! If I had the chance to own a 1500g tank I'd either go FW and have a Mbu plus some other FW fish in there. Also you'd save £££ on salt. Or if I was going SW I'd def have a Porcy, Stars and stripes, Guineafowl etc. Seeing/keeping these fish at full size would be awesome
