Just moved my aro into a 300g glass tank w no overflow. I have the tank about half filled and running 4 eheim cans. Really would like to take the cans off and run an overflow but worried about having the tank filled all the way up and my aro scrapping it's back on the center brace of the tank. My brother had a problems like that so rather not deal with it myself.

But wanted to see what other owners out there are doing and what works best for y'all.

Thanks!
 
you have a 300 gal but its half full so its only a 150 gal

i have no idea why people have tanks half full the more water the better

aros can also do more damage with a tank half full and they jump and hit the cover glasses as all of the aros power is from the last flick of the tail when it leaves the water

if your tank is full you only have 2-4 inch between the water level and the cover glasses meaning when the aro jumps it has less power to leave the water and smash into the cover glasses

fill it up

Only about half full right now as I'm just filling back up after a 50% water change.

I think I saw your tank on YouTube? It was a 450 with 4 Arows, Angels, and clowns. A few others but I don't know the names of them. If that was yours great job!!! It looks amazing! ��

Awesome tank! All the fish look great and I never knew you had a BGK! What does he eat? And why don't the barbs get eaten by the Arows? And the Silvers seem to be a lot thicker than your blacks!
