hey casp, thanks. the Dats are all gone, just housing 1 8'' NGT with the Aro. The NGT seems to harass all the dats...especially the ones his size... so i got rid of all cept him. the thing is the tank is on a stand that was already built/attached to the living room. im not sure as to if the stand will be durable for a very lnog time with all that weight... but im sure they wouldnt make a stand looking attachment that couldnt hold much weight right? the house is 4 yrs old so im assuming its strong enough.
