BamaBass for sure do crappie and possibly some sort of sucker fish to aid with cleaning, there are crazy variations of plecos or if you wanted to make the fish a natives only tank you could include small carp or something, just spitballing. Also there is a fish called a pumpkin seed, amazing fish.It would be awesome to have some of those. Smaller schooling fish could also be really cool. Put a few flat rocks on the bottom too for the bass. It's a place where they prefer to spawn. I would also recommend small mouth but your water would have to much colder so it may not be the best idea.
put a hollowed stump in their with roots coming off, complete with a snagged fishing lure!!! have a nice spot where minnows and small feed fish can live and hid and watch the bass hunt naturally!!!
Rusty are you kidding? sure its big enough, seen hollowed logs and tree stumps in WAY smaller tanks! fish love them, and they look great! plus people always are snagging lures on stumps fishing, hook a lure into the stump will set the look off for a serious fishing guys tank!
So great to see people really provide the best possible care for these kinds of fish in captivity, and actually follow through with their plans to upgrade. I have a huge love for the fish keeping hobby (I keep tropical and native), and I am so looking forward to seeing this tank progress!
makes me happy to see the lengths you have went to to take care of these bass...i have a 340 gallon and a 450 gallon and understand how rewarding an aquarium can be
You folks are so lucky to be young and able to do this. When you are older and can really enjoy it, it will be the focal point in your home. I wish you many blessings with your new aquarium and many years of fish collection.
gotta put a snagged fishing lure somewhere in the tank atleast! lol it will look like someone tried to go fishing in that massive pond in your living room!
Definitely put your BamaBass logo in it somewhere! maybe like other comments put a crappie in it. If you could find a water safe tiny fishing rod in the bottom it would look pretty cool!
You seem to be a bunch of sweet hearted people! This is an old vid I know but still want to say howdy and congratulate you with your awesome aquarium! Cherish it like a baby!
Large pieces of natural driftwood and cobble stones mixed with Jungle Val in the background, Lilly pads, and blixia japonica, annubius planted in the foregroung👍🏻
Hi, BamaBass I loved the video! I myself have had largemouth bass in a fish tank for about 3yrs now and I'm sure you know as I do, they are fun and constantly hungry fish! My setup is a 75-gallon tank and along with the bass, I have found that the fish that gets along best with my bass is either species of crappie. My crappie is pretty docile and the bass never bother him as he is close to the same size as them, along with them is my 2 big crawfish that are just big enough so that the bass does not eat them. My thoughts about your tank are that it is absolutely amazing! If you want my opinion on what I think you should do, it would be to maybe find a little "NO FISHING" sign to put in there. Another thing that I plan on doing to my tank is to add some lure decor by attaching some hard baits(no hooks obviously) to some structure or have them float around to really capture that pond/lake feel and look to your water. Hope this helps, keep up the awesome job! and as always God Bless! -Chase Tedder
THank you for listing the equipment makes it easy to find and shop. For future reference I see pro aquas cape plant their plants in and design first before filling their tank with water. Makes life a whole lot easier.
I would put Bonnie's poem on a piece of wood inside the aquarium. Some day they’ll go down together; And they’ll bury them side by side, To a few it’ll be grief- To the law a relief- But it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.
A couple things to consider would be a UV sterilizer which will keep your fish healthier by eliminating viruses and it will also keep the algae down which equates to less cleaning. Also putting in a wave maker/ pump to keep the surface of the water moving enough. I would also incorporate a load of lava rock which will do a much better job at bio-filtration then the bio- balls which take a much longer time to be colonized by beneficial bacteria and do much less overall. One more thing to consider. Depending on the plants you decide to use some will be column feeders and some will be substrate feeders. So the column feeders will need additional food/nutrients put directly into the water while the substrate feeders will overtime need the substrate recharged. I wish you well with your aquarium!!!
kswenson314 it should weigh a tick over 2500lbs assuming they put 300 gal in and weight of H2O being 8.24lbs/gallon. Adding in the structure you can easily add 500lbs plus.
I was just about to ask the same thing. For my 150 I used two 4x4 and 4 jacks for my comfort. Would hate to come home from work or vacation and see a nice junk of damage
You should put a gravel layer on top of the substrate. Maybe higher in the back using gravel and lower in the front to give a depth feel to the aquarium, if you know what I mean. Great that you are using CO2. Large pieces of drift wood would look nice as well. There are some freshwater aquarium channels that I'm sure you already know of that you can get inspiration from. Congratulations on your new aquarium!
The BAMABASS logo has got to be in the wood for sure, but you should also put a log or stump in there with some branches coming off it. Maybe a couple rocks around there too. Also, I think you should add a couple fish species to that tank since its so huge. Maybe some green sunfish or crappie and maybe a catfish. Anyways, it is gonna be awesome to see that aquarium finished. Keep up the good work and God Bless!
If you take dark or rock colored shiny aquarium backing paper, cut larger than the needed to be flat against the back. (Aprox. 6-12" of overhang on all sides) Then crumple it all up and attach it only by the edges (like a box) leaving space between the glass and paper. This will give the subtle illusion of the inside of a cave(s) adding depth and hiding the flatness of the back glass. You can try it with a small piece of the paper to get the idea. BTW, your house looks very nice.
could you make like different settings as in like a rocky bottom, some brush, a mud bottom, an like some vegetation and see how they react to different water temperatures? that would be pretty informational and a cool thing to experiment with as well. Thanks!
For stuff to fill in the aquarium, maybe get crankbait, jerkbaits, soft plastics, etc. and take the hooks off and maybe attach them to a piece of driftwood or in one of the windowsills to red's house(if you get driftwood from a lake or pond, bake it in the oven before putting it in the tank to protect the fish.
Hay BamaBass What About A Sunken Replica Of The Bonnie & Clyde Car Full Of Bullet Holes And Maybe A Old Replica Gun Or Wanted Poster To Go Along With The Theme Of The Tank. I Hope You Like My Ideal And I Hope I Win Something.
Great tank. i kept bass and blue gills as a kid. I'd add a school of sunfish before moving Bonnie & Clyde. their colors are awesome. . Oh yeah, and a nice sized stump for them to swim around
Nice!!!! I'd like to see a rivers edge biotope displaying the bass in their natural habitat. slight overhangs on the back wall, giving a outcrop effect. Along the center, large drift wood pieces (kinda how DIY Joey did the wood in his new tank). Tall grassy plants in the back corners for depth of field, with a couple of low growing plants at the points where the wood touches the sand. I hope that painted a nice mental picture.
Hey, I have a suggestion for fish stocking, I would say a clown knife fish for sure. They usually range from 18-24 inches in captivity, so as long as your tank's width is 24in then he would be able to fit. Another suggestion is Ornate Bichir. These guys look very much alike to dinosaurs, and reach up to 24in long aswell.
really great tank. since you asked what we'd like to see... i'd like to see you guys add gfci wall outlets in to protect you in the event of a electrical problem :)
Wow, that is quite the undertaking!!! I hope your sub floor is braced for all that weight! lol Being an engineer, Im sure you got that covered. Hey...what I think would be cool but not sure where you would get them is to place in for decor...2 revolvers...one for Clyde and of course one for Bonnie. I think that would be the perfect decorative pieces and obviously quite fitting. Of course they would have to be replicas and made out of a material that is fish friendly but Im sure they exist out there. Hope you like my idea.
i would put a hollow log in the middle with bamabass abd your logo carved into it. awesome tank, good enough room for bonnie and Clyde and of course cray cray lol.
Quite the DREAM Tank you have! Congrats on setting it up! Only thing I don't care for is the way the pendant lights are casting a shadow in the aquarium.. Shadows = no light = no growth.
what a wonderful addition to your home! how about a "Moonscape" theme? you could work with a star and space background possibly working in the Earth at one corner. it would be easy to change it up to other planets/lighting, with different backdrops and colored sand. (of course the plants would present a dilemma, but you could use species that are more exotic in color? good luck! (hope your on a slab foundation)!!??
That wet dry is way too small for a 300 gallon. Invest in a better sump setup or consider supplementing filtration with a large canister like a fluval fx6 or an eheim 2262. Also throw out those garbage bio balls and use something like biohome or marinepure. Tons more surface area available for bacteria to thrive.
My wet/dry is twice that size and it's on a tanks 2/3rd smaller. That filter is too small for the tank I'd think. What is the flow rate on it? You can never have too much filtration.
Save money and use lava rock instead of bio balls. It is very porous and makes a very good bio filter media. I agree with the comments that the sump filter tank is much too small for that size aquarium.
That one of the best ways to add something dramatic to your home I have a set up the same size I learned the bigger the tank. The easier it is to maintain.
BamaBass, you should put your sign or logo in there somehow. Put a small dock up by the lights with a small action figure of you and Liz fishing. That'd be unique!
if the water level isn't too high, you could put a limb going up out of the water a littler bit, and put a couple turtles in there! I am always seeing turtles sliding off of logs and down limbs while I'm bass fishing. Turtles would be sweet. I can't wait to see this fully done!
Judging from the steps to your front door it would appear you have a crawl space. If you don't brace your floor joists that tank is going to cause your floor to bow. Nice tank! Too bad your not near me. I could load you up on some sweet stuff.
Get a Bowfin in there! They are active and unique looking. As for static cover items, a Tonka-style truck submerged in it would look cool, like a flooded quarry truck!
Love the southern accent Liz! You are a hottie! I would go saltwater, but the substrate needs to be sand for saltwater aquarium. Good luck and enjoy your massive tank!
Awesome, I'm excited to see how it turns out! A tree and some brush would take up some room and add to the pond environment you're going for. And maybe something that relates to Bonnie and Clyde like a car or money for fun 😁
Werry nice ! You guys love your aquarium and you have a good time with it. And you are taking good care of your fish and understand what it's all about. Reeespect.
Need to hard line that return pump with a vector return pump once you get a chance. Very quiet return pump. Also you can put some 1" foam board under the whole sump to keep it quiet.
Totally need to put a custom made BamaBass logo rock or 3D figure in it. For the crawdad I would give him so more space to move around and put some clear tubing or something under the bottom material maybe along the glass so that you can see the crawdad move around and so he has more space to move from the house so he doesn't get eaten!
Gotta add some pretty river rock, set together with mortar and some nice drift wood pieces to mimic a blowdown for them to hug up to, suspend next to, etc.
Did you re-enforce your floor? My 220 gallon we had 3 support beam on jacks that were slowly raised over 3 months. Under the crawl space. We also were advised if the house was on a slab. To have the area re-enforce it so not to crack the house foundation over time.
That little space in your house is a perfect place for a badass aquarium!! Just came across your channel and subscribed. You both are great, can't wait to see more updates on the tank.
Comment below what you would like to see us put in this MASSIVE aquarium.
BamaBass a catfish or bowfin
BamaBass huh big bass bluegill and crawfish of course!!! maybe a crappie or two!!!
BamaBass put a mini brush pile in it or a sign saying there names
BamaBass for sure do crappie and possibly some sort of sucker fish to aid with cleaning, there are crazy variations of plecos or if you wanted to make the fish a natives only tank you could include small carp or something, just spitballing. Also there is a fish called a pumpkin seed, amazing fish.It would be awesome to have some of those. Smaller schooling fish could also be really cool. Put a few flat rocks on the bottom too for the bass. It's a place where they prefer to spawn. I would also recommend small mouth but your water would have to much colder so it may not be the best idea.
huggggggggggeeeeeeeeee bass and some alligator gar and big bluegill
It's awesome that your wife supports your hobby
omg yes looks gorgeous!!!
Yeah
Hello world
The legend himself
The animal abuser himself
put a hollowed stump in their with roots coming off, complete with a snagged fishing lure!!! have a nice spot where minnows and small feed fish can live and hid and watch the bass hunt naturally!!!
Nick Hall mate, it's big but it ain't THAT big
Rusty are you kidding? sure its big enough, seen hollowed logs and tree stumps in WAY smaller tanks! fish love them, and they look great! plus people always are snagging lures on stumps fishing, hook a lure into the stump will set the look off for a serious fishing guys tank!

lol, 4 years later. Heres my new 5 acre pond!
Very well thought out. That tank is huge! Bonnie & Clyde are going to be real happy in their new home. Totally awesone
You gotta put BAMABASS in wood lettering in there! That would be pretty sweet! Awesome tank man!
You folks are so lucky to be young and able to do this. When you are older and can really enjoy it, it will be the focal point in your home. I wish you many blessings with your new aquarium and many years of fish collection.
gotta put a snagged fishing lure somewhere in the tank atleast! lol it will look like someone tried to go fishing in that massive pond in your living room!
that or a small fishing pole in there with a fake bluegill on the end of the line!
What impressed me the most is how you two work as a team - Bravo!
Yep sad to say but that’s rare to see that these days.
I love the clarity of acrylic tanks, but there just way to easy to scratch. Nice tank and cool bass.
Did you beef up your floor for this big of a tank?
I recommend nothing more than a 55. A tank like that should b in the basement. It’s possible that they are on slab, no basement in that house.
Please note: an acrylic tank is a HELL of alot lighter (and safer) then a glass tank.
@@chevy4x466 they are on a concrete slab
Definitely put your BamaBass logo in it somewhere! maybe like other comments put a crappie in it. If you could find a water safe tiny fishing rod in the bottom it would look pretty cool!
I dig it! 5 commercials in 13 minutes is killin me though!
Broke Yakin I got no commercials.
Way to many commercials..
you tube is destroying itself with thier greed
interesting. I just click past them and didn't even see them. hmmmm
do a youtube adblock on gg chrome download dude.
You seem to be a bunch of sweet hearted people! This is an old vid I know but still want to say howdy and congratulate you with your awesome aquarium! Cherish it like a baby!
Make a minnow farm with the old tank
good idea

a custom bama bass coral structure or something with the bama bass logo would look sweet!
I would slope the back substrate higher than the front. So you can view the inhabitants with ease.
Ps. Great looking aquarium man.Good luck with it!
Very cool! Will be taking notes from all of these videos.
You should get a nice piece of drift wood and a pleco they get large so it'll fill up space plus it eats on the wood
Or put a musk turtle in there
Davonte Martin theyd need floating basket spots and a uv lamp
THank you for listing the equipment makes it easy to find and shop. For future reference I see pro aquas cape plant their plants in and design first before filling their tank with water. Makes life a whole lot easier.
This will make a stunning goldfish tank!
Ahhh that’s my dream. I’d fill it with fancy goldfish, probably black Moore’s since they’re my favorite. Maybe someday 😍
I would put Bonnie's poem on a piece of wood inside the aquarium.
Some day they’ll go down together;
And they’ll bury them side by side,
To a few it’ll be grief-
To the law a relief-
But it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.

Holy cow that's alot of weight! Do you have to put extra supports in the floor?
kswenson314 it should weigh a tick over 2500lbs assuming they put 300 gal in and weight of H2O being 8.24lbs/gallon. Adding in the structure you can easily add 500lbs plus.
wow thats like a car sitting in the living room
Our house is on a concrete slab so were good to go.
I was just about to ask the same thing. For my 150 I used two 4x4 and 4 jacks for my comfort. Would hate to come home from work or vacation and see a nice junk of damage
J McCracken.
what part of " concrete slab " did you not understand? that means the floor under the tank is at least 4" thick solid concrete.
She look so excited and innocent
Use the old tank for bait for the bass
You should put a gravel layer on top of the substrate. Maybe higher in the back using gravel and lower in the front to give a depth feel to the aquarium, if you know what I mean. Great that you are using CO2. Large pieces of drift wood would look nice as well. There are some freshwater aquarium channels that I'm sure you already know of that you can get inspiration from.

beautiful tank!! im so jealous...how much did it cost u in the end? just for the tank n sump?

Do you have a basement? I can only imagine how you had to determine the weight threshold of you floor if you do. Good thing you are an engineer.
hey i live on the 4th floor of a condo unit.im expecting delivery of a 150g aquarium.do you think ill have a problem with the weight?any suggestions?
@@thebear6529 You really should have thought of this before purchasing the aquarium. Poor planning.
FlightEvolution everything has worked out great. I invite you to come see. Good day

How is your floor strong enough to hold all of that?
I was also thinking about that
I’m pretty sure you can use house jacks under the area of floor to reinforce it for that much water weight
That house is on a slab. Reinforce the floor if not.
I think a few cypress knees would look great in there somewhere!! Had a few in my college aquarium, the bass loved 'em.
Just one goldfish should go in there. That fish would have the life...
until it gets eaten lol
more like the death with THOSE bass lol
Only One Tetra should be able to fit there
it would be more fun to watch them sleep together in it
For stuff to fill in the aquarium, maybe get crankbait, jerkbaits, soft plastics, etc. and take the hooks off and maybe attach them to a piece of driftwood or in one of the windowsills to red's house(if you get driftwood from a lake or pond, bake it in the oven before putting it in the tank to protect the fish.

you should put a crappie in there with the bass
Texas inshore Angler crappie forsure
Texas inshore Angler pretty good idea, id put a bowfin in too lol

really great tank. since you asked what we'd like to see... i'd like to see you guys add gfci wall outlets in to protect you in the event of a electrical problem :)
Add an underwater "waterfall," that would look so cool in this tank!
Some lily pads would be a sweet addition to that.
I use to have a 125 gallon. That 300 gallon blows that away. Nice tank!
you should get a catfish or another bluegill and see how big it gets
Wow, that is quite the undertaking!!! I hope your sub floor is braced for all that weight! lol Being an engineer, Im sure you got that covered. Hey...what I think would be cool but not sure where you would get them is to place in for decor...2 revolvers...one for Clyde and of course one for Bonnie.

So cool. You guys should get a baby gator!!
i would put a hollow log in the middle with bamabass abd your logo carved into it. awesome tank, good enough room for bonnie and Clyde and of course cray cray lol.
Beautiful tank but why just two ugly old bass, could think of a ton of more colourful fish for that tank.
The heart wants what the heart wants
Wow that is a big aquarium. I always get nervous that the stand can't hold all the weight. That is why I enjoy the aquarium from a safe distance.
I won my first bass fishing tournament yesterday 8 pounds 43 for 3 bass
Blake Ervin congratulations
So around 3 pounds each.... you can do better. Try harder next time. Hahahahaha!
Quite the DREAM Tank you have! Congrats on setting it up! Only thing I don't care for is the way the pendant lights are casting a shadow in the aquarium.. Shadows = no light = no growth.
Dicus fish those would look cool bass is a waste
That's awesome that you're wife supports your hobby
Tiger oscars
what a wonderful addition to your home! how about a "Moonscape" theme? you could work with a star and space background possibly working in the Earth at one corner. it would be easy to change it up to other planets/lighting, with different backdrops and colored sand.

Also throw out those garbage bio balls and use something like biohome or marinepure. Tons more surface area available for bacteria to thrive.
Heh, could save money by making your own fluidized sand filters. One pound of sand is good for 100 gallons. Best surface area ever.
My wet/dry is twice that size and it's on a tanks 2/3rd smaller. That filter is too small for the tank I'd think. What is the flow rate on it?
You can never have too much filtration.
Save money and use lava rock instead of bio balls. It is very porous and makes a very good bio filter media. I agree with the comments that the sump filter tank is much too small for that size aquarium.
I have 2 fx6 on my 280, and it's not enough, need 1 or two more.
Lava rock has a LOT of nutrients when fresh. After a few months its good forever. But watch that algae explosion if the tank is brightly lit.
That one of the best ways to add something dramatic to your home I have a set up the same size I learned the bigger the tank. The easier it is to maintain.
You should get a turtle
Rdaug1458 he doesn't have basking docks or uv lights.
Rdaug1458
that's an acrylic tank, a turtle would scratch it to all hell
BamaBass, you should put your sign or logo in there somehow. Put a small dock up by the lights with a small action figure of you and Liz fishing. That'd be unique!
10.49 lol
That's gonna be an epic tank. Maybe some sunfish until the bass are too big for tankmates?
lmao 10:48
Nice aquarium! I bet your Bass will be thanking you!
if the water level isn't too high, you could put a limb going up out of the water a littler bit, and put a couple turtles in there! I am always seeing turtles sliding off of logs and down limbs while I'm bass fishing. Turtles would be sweet. I can't wait to see this fully done!
Amazing! where could I get my aquarium made like yours?
Judging from the steps to your front door it would appear you have a crawl space. If you don't brace your floor joists that tank is going to cause your floor to bow. Nice tank! Too bad your not near me. I could load you up on some sweet stuff.
Those accents are worth a subscribe!
Grats on the tank! Following!
cant wait to see this all come together
IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND THE VIDEOS TO COME
Get a Bowfin in there! They are active and unique looking.
As for static cover items, a Tonka-style truck submerged in it would look cool, like a flooded quarry truck!
Love the southern accent Liz! You are a hottie! I would go saltwater, but the substrate needs to be sand for saltwater aquarium. Good luck and enjoy your massive tank!
You should do a meet up at Bass Pro in Spanish Fort.
Awesome, I'm excited to see how it turns out! A tree and some brush would take up some room and add to the pond environment you're going for. And maybe something that relates to Bonnie and Clyde like a car or money for fun 😁
You outta get some java fern. It grows really nicely and gets pretty thick. It would look good along the overflow corners
Werry nice ! You guys love your aquarium and you have a good time with it. And you are taking good care of your fish and understand what it's all about. Reeespect.
The tank set up fits nicely in that spot. This is a nice video.
Cool tank! I think you should do a lake set up. With drift wood and tall plants.
Besides the plants and stuff You should put like a log or a tree stump. it looks natural and the bass will love it.
Need to hard line that return pump with a vector return pump once you get a chance. Very quiet return pump. Also you can put some 1" foam board under the whole sump to keep it quiet.
this is great! i think some nice driftwood would greatly compliment the tank
Sweet video man! I just setup a 37 gallon planted tank for some red bellied piranhas! Used the same substrate too!
Totally need to put a custom made BamaBass logo rock or 3D figure in it. For the crawdad I would give him so more space to move around and put some clear tubing or something under the bottom material maybe along the glass so that you can see the crawdad move around and so he has more space to move from the house so he doesn't get eaten!
Gotta add some pretty river rock, set together with mortar and some nice drift wood pieces to mimic a blowdown for them to hug up to, suspend next to, etc.
Did you re-enforce your floor? My 220 gallon we had 3 support beam on jacks that were slowly raised over 3 months. Under the crawl space. We also were advised if the house was on a slab. To have the area re-enforce it so not to crack the house foundation over time.
Nice tank! Very cool that your wife gets right in there with you working on it.
congratz with the new tank adn greetings and respect from the Netherlands,Europe.
very cool. it's gonna be fun watching this. maybe you could rig up a weighted 12 inch worm next to one of the trees.
it's clear you're enjoying this build. If you want some real fun, and a real challenge, you should turn this into a salt water reef aquarium.
A sand-waterfall would be really nice in the middle of the tank!👌👍👍
Great size , your going to need scuba gear to clean ! Can’t wait to see after your sea scape . Take Care
That little space in your house is a perfect place for a badass aquarium!! Just came across your channel and subscribed. You both are great, can't wait to see more updates on the tank.
