Got a new 100 gallon ! Setup starts tommorow

[tcarswell]

Thanks guys! I am so tired I can barely lift my arms lol I sparred for 20 minutes straight no breaks and omg driving home It was hard to hold the wheel lol . I am gonna fill it the rest of the way up with my 55 gallons water and move some fish over tommorow with one of my filters. How should I transition the fish over? They are all in a well well cycled tank(the aformentioned 55 and I will be using the filtration from that tank (An eheim 2215 , ac110 and top fin 60 plus the living gravel because I had an under gravel filter)

Whats the best way to move the fish in to the bigger tank?

I use bags and float them...make sure to acclimate them slowly... then net them out of the bag and right into the water...

Really? I was gonna acclimate them one by one over the course of an hour in a bucket with the two drips a second rule
I cant wait to finish the aqua scaping and all the filtration. Its like having a car without keys

That looks like my tank. Dad gave it to me (17 years old). He said it was 100 gallon but when I posted pics people said it was 75 (because of the 4 foot width). So I took measurements. What are your tank's exact measurements? Your tank does look a bit taller in those last pics, but in the first pics it does not. lol

hi...

48 x 18 x 24... I think is a 90G... I was trying to decide on a 4' or 6' for my new tank in my office and remember that there was a height difference between what i have and the 90G so I am giiung with another 125G since they are going to be next to each other...

90, 100, 75, 150,... who cares...! It a new tank....!!!!!!

Good luck...!!
