A-b Or C For Green Water Tank Options

[wombatt]

I'm having a custom clear acrylic tank made for my indoor green water setup. Wanted to get some advice and recomendations from the bros here to the sizes i'm thinking about.

A - 98"L x 35"W x 18"H = 270 us gal. = 1022 liters

B - 72"L x 36"W x 18"H = 202 us gal. = 765 liters

C - 72"L x 20"W x 20"H = 125 us gal. = 473 liters

I know the obvious would be "A" bigger is always better. But I don't know if changing 1022 liters every 5 - 10 days is going to be a big chore and a long one too, would like to hear some feed back on that too. "B" seems to be a nice compromise. Problem with "C" I think is that if I get more fish then I'm out of room. Planning on having about 100 liters per fish or lets say maximun of 6 fish in A, B and C. Thanks again all!

Ahhh ... silicon valley. I am afraid you might use RO water. I know RO will have problem cultivating the algae. But without RO, the water should be rather hard. Do check for chloramines as your water dept should be using quite intensively.

Well ... give it a try.
