If your stuck on sponge, being that tall I would say atleast 4 large. Temperature control will be an issue as well right? In the sun through glass, you’ll need a chiller and a heater for night? Algae control, would circulation help? Keeping the water moving fairly fast. Lots of big plants. And fish and invertebrates that eat algae. But you will need fish, invertebrates, and plants that can handle temp fluctuations and high current. I don’t know I’m probably way off??? Have you thought about putting it in your basement? Lol I think anyway you go about it, gonna be a lot of extra work to make it functional. Again tho I’m probably not envisioning it correctly and assuming to much. And the fact that I don’t really know what I’m talking about in the first place don’t help either.🥴 good luck, I hope it works and you post some pics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
