Its a 20 Gal. Long. Sorry about that. I am sure length wise it is more than 1/3 of a 75 (not width though) He is just chilling in one place pretty much since i got him. I only plan on him staying in there for about 2-3"s more then I will xfer him. As for the feeders. I put in 10 tiny guppies (which I only see 5 left), and I do not plan on over feeding him. The tank is turning over about 7 1/2X per hour and a pretty big airs tone (which I hate) so shouldn't be too bad.
Help!!!! ARMATUS COMING!!!!!!

Now that i am really thinking about it man, I wouldn't think the water Params should be a problem. I mean we are talking about one fish thats 3". The guppies are not even a 1/4" I don't think. I will keep a close eye on him though of course.
Take my advice with a grain of salt........ Its YOUR fish. I go through about 75 rosies every 2-3 days. So when I get feeders I just dump em all in. I also overfeed the crap out of them. Cause afterall feeders don't really do any good in LFS condition. Makes for some terrible water conditions despite a w/c everytime I get feeders. I know West had some filter crashing issues as well.Just giving you the heads up cause you asked for advice.... Sounds like you have it all covered so there shouldn't be any problems.What are you using for filtration?
All will be fine...just take great care of em...keep feeders in the tank and do regular water changes...then on to the 220 Gal!

"I go through about 75 rosies every 2-3 days". WOW!! DB LOL, your power feeding those little guys ehh?? I can see your concern. I am only using a Penguin 150 + the air stone. I was going to put an Emperor 280 on it but no one had any in stock around here. + think that would be a bit of an overkill on the current. I can add another filter if I think I need it of course, but this thing is giving off a pretty damn good current. Then I have the airs tone on the other side.
My other 2 will be arriving in late afternoon on Thur. These 2 are coming from Cali. so they have a longer distance, but coming via South West Airlines so travel time might be less. I will keep an eye on everything for sure.. He actually moved to the other side of the aquarium!!!!! LOL, sorry, just that hes been sitting in the same spot for hours.
Let me see if I can get the camera really quick, and maybe I can snap a couple shots. Thats if the wife put it back on the charger. Like I said this is a really temporary home for him. The aquarium itself is actually just sitting on the floor in my spare bedroom.
DB, trust me I appreciate yours and everyone's response. If I ever sound rude to anyone please do not take offense. I get a little frustrated with all the different advice going around, so I might see a little on edge at times. I will try to keep a personal log of my progress of all 3 Armatus to share future info with fellow MFKers!!!!!!!
OK, about that camera, et me see if I can find it !!!

It's all good man. Opinions are like azzholes. Everyones got one. I don't share right or wrong info. I just share MY experience. Drawing a conclusion is up to you. Well over half the time my experience differs from most others. And you'll almost ALWAYS have complete contridicting info when asking for advice. Good luck with them lil buggers and keep us posted!!!!
The reason I asked about filter/s is just to make sure you socked or sponged the intake if its a monster filter.
