Those are such odd dimensions... Sounds more like a pond than a fish tank.

I would personally do some very cool catfish.

But if you're thinking about sw... How may I ask are you going to light such a thing? WOuldn't that be very $$$?

damarech

You peaked my interest What are using it  for a coffee table or is it on a pedestal or what?????

coffee table would have been a good idea!

i had some left overs from another project, all i needed was a 4'x4' for the bottom and thats it!

mett: still havent decided what to do with lighting, my budget is limited since i just set up 4 other new tanks(24,24,26,55)....and then there is another 28 that i am setting up today......

i dont know if i will have any $$$ left tobe honest!

Hm. Well. If you dont want it Az you can always pass it along to me. I'll take it off your hands, for sure! :lol:

damarech

For the bottom you could have use heavy gage black plastic and plywood Cheaper and  this gives you a  base to build on.

Julie

Rays and discus or gars.

Julie

kennyman

I like Julie's idea of Rays.

But another suggestion could be soil substrate with Mudskipers and fidler crabs.

Julie

Nice motoray in barrhaven, unfortunately I don't know if the bank finances fish or not  :wink:  :wink:

Julie

Mettle

Tank is only a foot high, Julie. I don't think rays/gars would mix well in that. But that's just me.

As for the motor in Barrhaven - it did get price dropped. Nice little guy. People are always -this close- to buying it when significant interest is shown but no one has as of yet. It's like the fishroom mascot. The kids LOVE it.

squeeker

that tank would be PERFECT for rays.

(or some nice tosakin goldfish!!!)

Julie

Not good combo then being a foot high.
