Tristan Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Who on here thinks they have the largest tank of all the other qldaf members? Would love to see the larger aquariums making their way around qld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenMick Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 same here my biggest is a 6x2x2 so no where near the biggest by far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Pissing contest. It aint the size it's what you do with it. I've seen 8 and 10 footers stock with uttter garbage and two footers with some of the most desirable fish you can ask for.

warwick Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 My biggest tank is a 3000 litre monster (9 foot x 4 foot x 3foot). It's set up as a South American tank with a variety of Geos, fire mouths, discus etc. When I get sick of the South Americans I'll turn it into a ray tank. Cheers Warwick.

Its a mere fantasy for me ATM , a Juwel Rio 120 by my wife's reckoning is a giant tank and that is the largest I will have unless I build her another house.

professor_rob Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Mine is about 3000L all up. Hard to estimate as it is not a normal shaped aquarium (kind of wedged shape with the house built around it). I think it would be about 2800-3000l all up. I know it is far from the biggest tank here and even more so it is far from the best stocked here.........currently. I will get more fish slowly, the good stuff can cost a mint. I miss my datnoid. Although I do think the tank itself is one of the nicest. (Position, design, placement and best of all pretty much no maintenance). Not saying it is the nicest but might make the finals. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xysti53 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 A few years ago I had 75,000 ltr tank with bristlenose and plecos but turned it back into a swimming pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPee Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I think its far from a pissing contest. Some people like big fish therefore need a big tank. There is no way my fish would live in a 6x2x2 I have done my part for my fish and I know they will see their years out happily. Also I don't keep fish that you and joe blow like..... but I love my fish right down to my bn. So if you think its a pissing contest you all are silly.
