I'll preface by saying I'm NOT an engineer, and so my advice should be considered anecdotal. A 75g tank doesn't weigh any more than 5 average adults would. Do you have any concerns about having 5 adults stand together in one spot upstairs? Would it bother you to have 10 adults in that room? I...

What is that really rough textured floating plant? Good looking gar. Glad to see it is improving.

Any updates? Jealous of these big tanks.

My wife has imposed a current limit of 3 fish tanks. Doesn't matter what size, but no more than 3 at a time. Our house is small enough that unless I turn the garage into a fish room, more than 3 won't really fit anyways. She's never really been into the fishkeeping. She likes the heavily...

When were the joists/plywood subfloor painted? That doesn't look like fresh damage to me. It looks like the damage happened prior to painting. If the joists were painted prior to you putting the tank there, I would think that damage was already there. Also, is the tank running across the...

What a fatty! Both the eel and rays look great. How long do you think he is?

Ugh, I wish I had room for a tank like this. Great footprint. GLWS.

Beautiful brasiliensis!

I like the design. Simple and effective with plenty of customizability. The only downside I see to your specific design in the video is the ability to gravel vac. But you could easily alter your design to allow gravel vac, or just use a long tool to stir up crud from the gravel while it's...

Some of those questions depend on how large the spotted gar are, and if they are actually spotted gar. I've kept shortnose and florida gar in the past. I kept the shortnose in a 14'L x 6'W x 4'D outdoor pond year round (in Kentucky) and they did great. Indoors I kept the spotted at a smaller...

Usually those 125gal combos go for $749.99 around me. Occasionally they'll drop down to $649.99 or maybe $599.99, but I don't think I've ever seen the combo cheaper than that. If you can get it for $500 I'd go for. You can spend that much just on a 125gal tank around here.

I would check with any local fish stores. Most of them that I've been to can order tanks of those sizes, they just don't usually keep them in stock because they're expensive and they don't sell very often. Usually you can buy just the tank, and the LFS will handle shipping into their store. Then...

Absolutely gorgeous pair of synspilum!

See this thread for images. Basically you connect a powered or submersible pump to the sponge instead of an airline. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.plantedtank.net/forums/9-equipment/916641-how-use-powerhead-water-pump-sponge-filter.html%3famp=1

You could use sponge filters and just drive them with submersible pumps. That way you don't have to worry about outdoor air pumps or excessive surface disturbance.

Joined just after Christmas 2008, but lurked for a while before joining. So just over 12 years. I took a break from the hobby for a few years but just recently set up a nano tank for a betta and MTS immediately set in ?. Just filled a 40 breeder with water today to start scaping and get cycled.

Can you mount a shelf on the wall and set it on the shelf? That might prevent any worry about weight on top of the current tank.

I'm getting ready to set up a 40 breeder (36 x 18), and I'm going to use a Finnex Planted+ 24/7 CRV LED light (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S7FX9BH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). This one has really good reviews, includes true red LED's, and has tons of...

I recently picked up an 18" Hygger LED from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X9T9PV6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It's a 14W model, but so far I like it. I'm using it on a long/low betta tank (2.3gal, 18 x 6 x 7). It lights up very well, has a time (3, 6 and 12...

https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/12-gallon-bookshelf-tank-standard-glass-mr-aqua.html Not sure if that breaks the bank or not. They've got a 12gal 36" long tank for $109.99 (free shipping) and a 22gal 36" long tank for $169.99 (free shipping).
