Good Dilemma

[ldschmdit29]

I am in an Unusual Dilemma. I have more money, and don't know what to do with it. I have about 200 bucks. So here is what I have:

Filters-
AC110 x 2
Fluval 405 x 1
Fx5 x 1

Heaters-
150 watt x 2

Lights-
Double T-5 48"
Power Compact 48"

I have all my test kits and food stocked up with extra filter media as well.

Now for my fish stock:

Random Peacock OB x1 2.5"
Mauluna Bicolor x1 2"
Lemon Jake x2 2"
Ruby Red x2 2"
Benga Yellow x2 2"
Flavescent Ussisya x1 1.5"
Red Shoulder x1 2"
Regal Blue x2 2"
Chilotilapia Rhoadessi x1 1"
Afra Lions Cove Mara x4 1"
Nimbochromis Venustus x1 2.5"
Oto Lithobates x1 1.5"
Frontosa x1 4"
Synodonits Multi x1 4"
Maylandi x1 1.5"

I was thinking save towards maybe another Fx5 or just buy a UV sterilizer?
I'm also interested in adding a Lethrinops to the tank. What do you guys think, I'm stuck in a position I am not usually in! Thanks for any input

 

[mike dunagan]

what size is the tank?

 

[ldschmdit29]

Guess that would have been a good thing to put....125, 72x18x24

 

[mike dunagan]

two fx5s would be a bit much in that tank.

If you don't know what you want, I say let the cash ride. Never know when something you already have might shart out on ya that you'll have to fix in a hurry. Failing that 200$ is more than enough to set up a 29 or a 40 you could put a pair of smaller breeding cichlids in or, a smaller puffer....

First off, thank you for your Service.

It sounds like you have a really nice set up already. I can't see anyplace you're lacking. As Golem suggested, you might want to look around for a used set up. Around here, $100 will buy complete 55s all day long. You'd have $100 to set it up the way you want it and buy stock.

What a nice dilemma to have huh?

I would go with a UV sterilizer from Aqua ultraviolet. They have UNBEATABLE customer service and their stuff is pretty quality. If you have the room and new tank is always more fun.

If I had the same setup & an extra $ 200 ?
I would use it to setup another tank & get those afras away from the peacocks.

My Afras dont mess with the peacocks...My meanest fish is the OB peacock... Afras pick on each other ocassionaly but they are in a 125, so they have plenty of running/hiding space. Thanks though.

Thanks for everyones input. 2 Fx5's does seem to be a bit over kill. I may just hold on to it and see what comes up. My other hobby is 4x4 Trucks and 200 dollars doesnt do much in that hobby. Ill keep my eyes open for a 55 gallon set up and possibly breed something, who knows! thanks again everyone
