Great video, thank you!

[@Riffwaters]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@brans7269]

Awesome tank bro! Do you have videos of how you build the tank?

[@Riffwaters]

Sorry, not yet! Eventually I will, but it could be a while.

[@MrGeonicolas]

Nice tank, what kind of filtration are you using? sump or external filters?

[@Riffwaters]

Thanks! On this tank I'm using two FX6's.

[@MrGeonicolas]

@@Riffwaters What kind of filter media are you using? i have 160gallon with one fx6 and one cascade1500 but its still not as clear as yours. Maybe its because of my 2 red ear sliders messing up the party

[@gezrogius]

😍👍are the bala sharks going to be safe?

[@Riffwaters]

Hi! Yes, the bala sharks are good in this tank, considering their size and temperament of their tank mates.

[@brent245]

Could I do a fire eel in a 340gallon? It's not 7' though. It's 64x42x30, so we are talking a larger footprint area than a 8' standard tank.

[@Riffwaters]

Hmm. Tough call. The eel would have over 6' of length along the footprint diagonal, but still not ideal. You'd be doing better than most people, though. I'd say go for it, as long as you have a backup plan to rehome the fish if needed.

[@Klvngmz]

Nice setup what thickness is the glass

[@Riffwaters]

Thanks! It's 3/4"
