Well been making some progress on getting the 375 all together so I can get it set up picked up a 150 gallon tank to use as a sump and got the dividers siliconed in place 
But unfortunately with everything that's been going on lately I had ignored my water changes in the 80 gallon so I decided to do a large water change about 80% or so and upon the tank filling I noticed the rutilus moving rather irractically, and I've read the horror stories of these fish not coping well with large water changes and sure enough he began to have what I assume were ceizures so I tried putting him in front of the power head but unfortunately I lost him. all other fish in the tank seem to be doing fine so not sure what exactly caused this but can only keep moving forward from here and try to take what I can from it
He was smaller then I had originally thought but had a serious upturn in his feeding habits the week before his death idk if this had some contribution to his death or not.
I went and found this stunning little hybrid at an lfs just up the road from me and just had to have him, to help fill up some of the empty space that'll be in the 375 once they make the move
He has no issues feeding and hopefully won't take long to start putting on some size

Yes I am well aware that the 375 will house neither the TSN or hybrid for its life it is just a mere stepping stone in this game of monster fish keeping, so if I get a year or so of comfortable living for them out of it I will be more then happy
