I lost my Trimac

[balton777]

That really sucks balton, btw what size tank are you going to be getting.

I'm going with a new DSA 258 gallon-84.5"x24"x30"-90% sure that's the one. I'm going to order it after the 1st of the month.

Sorry for the loss Balton.
I'll have a beer for the little guy tonight in remembrance...

Thanks I think? I"m pretty sure you would have had the beer either way.

HAHA! How about a beer and a BRATWURST?

GO PACKERS!

dang, ripped out his insides??
but seriously though - the size difference was too much. there's no way that trimac could have hung in there.

Yeah I should have taken a picture. His right side had a 2" x 1" piece of flesh and scales ripped downwards from near his dorsal fin and it was hanging from near the bottom of his body. You could see his insides and they were coming out along with blood flowing into the water. It looked pretty painful and I felt horrible just looking at him. I knew I had to put him down.

wat size is the tank ur gettn

 

[balton777]

I've got it narrowed down to either a 253 or 265..leaning towards the 253g for build quality reasons. I'm going to go in tomorrow and make an offer and hopefully get the deal I'm needing to make this happen.

Man thats an awful way to go!

253 or 265? sounds awesome and makes me wish I had the room. Can't wait as I'm sure you'll do a great job with it. Are you gona try another Trimac or what?

BTW I'm a man of my word...that Brat n beer I had for you n your poor trimac last night were tasty!

Good luck on the deal Balton

Didn't work out. I'm going to keep shopping around. Not only did they not take my lower offer...they upped the price they quoted me the other day by $400.00!!! I'm soooo out on that store from now on.

Sorry for your loss. I think you should grow out another one from baby to monster while posting lots of pics.

Hey cancel the bad news!! I got the deal after all.

I ended up with the 253 gallon tank...it measures 84.5"x24.5"x30". I have a few ideas on stock but I'll start a new thread soon on stocking opinions and advice.
