Now that I've settled into my dorm and gotten to know the people who are in the same so called 'apartment' I'm in I was looking on setting up a 125 in my room IF I am able to swing off a single room. Otherwise unless it's with one of the 2 people I would dearly trust rooming with I plan to keep the tank dream aside.
But yeah, I have about a six and a half foot long by five foot tall by three to four deep that I was looking at putting a 120-125 in and a 75 or so beneath it.
Stocking wise for the 125 would be two baby silvers, a tiger shovel & a RTC/Shovel nose cross, and a juruense. I kno I kno they get big, I have been in this trade one too many years and worked one too many hours at the LFS I have been employed with for one too many a year. In the long run these babies will be moved into a tropical pond if not traded out to a friend who has a tropical pond / large ass tanks.
But here is the main dilemma for me. This tank is to be setup in a room where NO drunk or high person is to be stumbling in and having their way with the tank just so you know! So don't try to throw that in. But the only problem is that the tank and its residents must be removed at the end of every semester (give or take 15 weeks or so.) Those fish are hardy and can take it, but is it worth the effort? The biological is easy in a sense for the tank cause I can hop the filters directly every time without a change. But still?
Give me your input! Or if you have stocking ideas!
