1600 is nothing...think of what they do at public aquaria where they will change thousands of gallons of water at a time
1600 is quite manageable, assuming a mix tank is installed for a couple of hundred gallons. Doesn't need to be fancy at all. Looking forward to pics

I had the same talk last night with a buddy about my 330. Not 1600, but water changes on the second floor, what a pain but i'll do 2 5g water chances a week and that will get me to about 10% a month but 160g a month some one better have a good ro/di unit.

I change about 50 gallons a week, 100 gallons every two weeks, so I am changing about 400gallons a month. Some from evaporation, other is lost water from vaccuming, and most is just water changes. It doesn't take to much time and it makes the tank cleaner so why not.

Well plans have changed. Took the wife to the house and she did not like the idea of a big wall tank. She said "Can we just do a Cylindrical in the middle of the room"
I said HELL YEAH. So Wayde and Brett from ATM flew out to my house this morning and took some measurments. I had planned on a 72X72 Cylindrical Aquarium.

So what is a Cylindrical Aquarium and why would you want one.. Did you get it..??

A Cylinidrical Aquarium is simply an aquarium which has a circular shape and is tall. Great looking tanks when done right. Good luck.
