Well I restarted my fish fanatacism when my mom decided to get a 15 gallon starter kit. I soon after got myself a 55 gallon with an eheim/ stealth / big HOB setup. I found a crack in my 55 gallon within a week of owning it.I reestablished the tank that day and its up and cycling . Well time rolls around and 3 months after we have owned the 15 gallon we find a small crack in it. So I went out and bought a twenty gallon and a HOB and a kick ass stand im trying to get my cam working for some pics it came out reallly nice
 
i think you need to get yourself a level or something... why all the busted tanks?
 
ughhh This one was my fault. Lesson learned. My other one was sold to me with a "deep scratch" which ofcourse wasnt noticed until it was filled and setup. This one is level and on a badass stand so I (While crossing fingers) Should be ok
 
Thanks for asking , The tank was established and luckily we saved the gravel and the filters with bio media (also saved the fish . So now it has a few mollies and a raphael cat my mom is deadset she wants some kind of puffer ever since she saw the green spotted ones at wal mart (maybe we can comprimise one of those tiny dwarf puffers. Once the raphael cat is grown out enough he's going in my 55. The 55 is either getting a few senegals or a pair of gulper catfish :) ( The filtration on the 55 is going to be insane).
 
Sounds nice, although the 55 gallon might get small for the bichirs, but not too small.
 
yeah im sticking with the polypterpus senegalus bichirs 2 or 3 of those might be ok right ? I can always upgrade to a 125 at any time I just dont want to take the plunge yet I have alot going on lately so I am kinda managing 3 smaller tanks

20g for 3 baby bichirs would last you about 4 months those guys get big fast
 
lol I know man you misunderstood me. The 55 gallon is going to have the poly bichirs
