I am very excited for this summer i just recieved a 75 gallon tank from my neighbor for free. He had canister filters on the tank and one of the filters leaked all of the water out. It was a Saltwater tank and he just did not want to put more money into to it so I am gladly taking it from him. The only thing is I will not be using it for salt i would like to make an awesome african tank with it. As of right now i have another 75 gallon tank with 3 geophagus 4"-5", a leopard bushfish 4.5", a anostomus striped headstander 5", 3 rare plecos 1"-3", a butis butis 3", a red gold severum 4", a african spotted eel and the new guy strawberry peacock 3" which is why i want and need this 75 gallon. I also have a male and female, Hap obliqueden sp. 44 thickskin 3.5"M and 2"F coming with me sunday when i get all my stuff from school. they are in a 30 as of right now with a hoplo cat 4"(i'm getting rid of him). I would like if they to could in go in the new 75 as well. So right now my future stock of the new 75 gallon is a Strawberry Peacock, Male and Female Hap. sp.44 Thickskins, and that is it. There are alot of questions that are up for opinion:
Should I take any of the fish that are in my 75 now and put them into the new 75 along with the ones already being taken out?
Keep the Canisters, or sell and replace with hang on filters? (Aquaclear 110)
Substrate? Sand (already have in mind but like to here some opinions)
Finally, What should I stock with? I would like to spend no more then 200 on the fish.
I would love to hear some opinions I am open to anything. I'm glad to be back and am excited to hear from everyone!
