I have the Fluval FX5 filter on the tank, and I LOVE IT.

Our 30 gallon tank is at my work. I work at a retirement home, and our residents and visitors all love to see it. I have 1 "jelly bean" parrot fish, 2 fire mouth cichlids, 1 whitish african cichlid (got him by accident when I bought duckweed), 4 clown plecos, 1 royal pleco, 1 common pleco, 2 bronze corydoras, and 1 pictus cat. There might be a molly still around in there too, as that's what used to be in that tank. I have the Fluval 405 on this tank.

We want to get a really big fish tank some time after my BF is done school. I'm hoping for something around 350 gallons made out of acrylic. There aren't many places that do tanks that big, so if you know of any I'd like to know about them. So far I've found two, but our hard drive crashed like two weeks ago, and I lost most of my book marks

My BF also wants to set up a salt water tank eventually, but I'm not sure if we are ready for that. I have no experience with salt water tanks, so I'm nervous to start anything like that. He really likes the corals and the fancy shirmp and other inverts that you can put in them.
Your tanks sound nice, but be aware that although big, a 125 is too small for an adult Arowana. Also, unless an African Aro (rare filter feeder), as it grows it will eat any fish that fits in it's big mouth.

Largest commercial tanks in USA are 300 gallon made by Marineland; so for larger you are talking custom made ones. I have a couple internet addresses of manufacturers; contact me when you are ready and have lot's of cash on hand; those tanks are expensive.

If interested in a reef type SW tank; best reference to get you started is "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" 2nd ed. dated 2008 by Robert M. Fenner. I used to have a few FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) SW tanks but took down most and only kept one for my pet Undulated Triggerfish. Also have 7 FW tanks running for my cichlids and a Betta. Other pets include an ABF "Stilgar;" an unnamed C. cranwelli Pacman; and four arboreal Tarantulas.
