Thanks for lookin guys!
 
Nice tank and fish!!! I have been looking for a bigger tank for a while now (my largest is a 75, want atleast a 125) but craigslist has been a bust. Everyone in San Antonio wants big $$$ for the same size tank I have already. I just moved from Houston last year, was living in Katy. Take care and thanks for sharing.
