When he wanted to eat in the 20g grow out, he would swim to the top and take worms from my son's hand. Only thing I can surmise at this point is the eel just isn't a big eater and will take a longer time to grow up.

Not much. Moved it into my 150g for more space and to break down his grow-out tank. Hadn't seen it in a while, but just saw his head pop out from driftwood during this past Monday's water change, so it's still surviving somehow...

Great reason why you should use a temperature controller

Thanks all. It's a crummy thing, especially on Christmas. It was only about 2 years old as 8 raised it from a small baby. He was a CB, so could it be poor genes too? I was surprised at how heavy he was when I took him out. Aside from my teugs, the ornate was the largest and easily the fatest...

Just had a 2 year-old 13.5" ornate polypterus pass away today after being seemingly fine last night when feeding. I noticed it struggling to stay upright and barely breathing this morning. When he died a few hours later, there was a yellowish film coming out of his anus. Not sure if that's...

Not in the least. Just refuting your points.

Group think? Because the majority of people on here have big tanks, like OP, and the majority find sumps easier and better for providing proper care for their fish makes it group think? No. Don't use your LFS example of an overstocked 150g including an RTC and not seeing any signs of ammonia...

OK ok we get your point. Not sure what a sump ever did to you... One point, among many, you're missing though is just how much easier and quicker it is to clean a sump which means it also tends to get done much more frequently than the typical aquarist. I'm sure you clean your HOBs and...

I have a 360g with 4 returns on it and 2 jebao pumps. 1 pump to two returns per side.

I made my own sump out of 2 plastic storage bins and a 40g trash bin, for the exact same tank size. Super ghetto, super easy and effective.

I have an Oscar that only eats earthworms, freeze dried krill, and cut frozen fish. Tried starving him, but can't go too long without the above mentioned food items as it's what his tank mates primarily eat. So the Oscar is quite spoiled...

Still cloudy. Really starting to annoy me as I can't figure out where the problem is.

I have put ghost shrimp in the tank, 36 to be exact, and it didn't seem to eat any. Most of them died off or got stuck in the HOB.

All giraffes are fat and doing well! Does seem like their growth has leveled off some though. Is it typical for that to happen once they reach around the 10" mark?

Just checking in. Eel still hasn't grown much at all, yet still eats the red wrigglers. Thinking of moving on from him if this continues...

The front is 3/4" and the tank is only 24" tall so there's no noticeable bowing. Thankfully this spot is at the top so there's less pressure. Just incredibly aggravating to spend so much money on this tank and have janky craftsmanship.

Friendly tip to the masses: DO NOT purchase your next aquarium from American Aquariums.

Not to put the future of the tank on you, but without the typical white coloring could it have just been a sloppy build job by the manufacturer where they didn't do a good job making sure all seams were welded together?

Can't say 100% for sure it was or wasn't there before setting the tank up :cry: When seams separate, do they always have that white/opaque coloring? That isn't present here so I'm wondering if it could've been a sloppy seam job? The manufacturer definitely didn't do a clean job over the...
