Very Close but not the same. I did the same with other rectangular setup, the fish still realize they would hit the glass at the end of the tank and turn back.

With round and heavily rounded rectangle tank, the fish tends to circle instead of turning back.

What is the vertical height of the tank? I assume that is the rate limiting step in fitting through the door

I think it's more of the index of transparency. If it's round they tend to circulate along because they sense the slow (round) change of tranparency of the "wall"(the glass)

Yes all parts fits thru a standard doorway because it choosen to be 5 feet diameter and only 30 inches tall(should have done 42"-it still fit thru all doors to the site). If it's the planned 10 feet, it probably not.

pm me estimated cost not including livestock and total time of installation so i can think it through.

Wingnut, I am impressed, nice tank.

This reminds of those rotating Christmas trees. It's a cool idea until you get it home and realize that now you have to decorate the whole tree, not just the front.

When the 10 feet version is done, it'll tell you. Right now, the fish can finish a round in less than 10 sec

Wingo, where is the tank located? I'd like to see it. Also, this is a tank thread...can we get some details on the livestock and pics of the equipment?
