Hi there, this is my first time posting here and I thought I'd share my tank.
I picked up my 90 from my lfs for only 40 dollars, guy said it was taking up too much room in the shop. Of course at $40, I was skeptical. However, I bought it, took it home, and it held water
. It is constructed with 1/2" glass, but I'm not sure of the brand.
My original plan for the tank was a community of small cichlids and a nice planted tank. However those plans changed.
My buddy has a job where he goes into foreclosed buildings to clean them out when people are evicted. I had my tank all cycled and ready to go pick up my new stock, when said friend called me and said he found some cool looking fish in a fish tank, and if I wanted them I could take them.
I was bored, so I went to check out the fish, and I was shocked. There were 2 Oscars in a 55, one about 7" and one about 4". There was only about 5 inches of water in the tank, and it was extremely dirty. Someone had left them there to die.
Of course, I couldn't leave them there so I took them home and immediately put them in my aquarium (now I know better) but I am happy to say that they are alive and have been in my possession for about 5 months.
I am running a penguin 350 (was on my previous 29g) and an ac110, however I cannot get my water to be really crystal clear. The driftwood is a newer addition, and the tannins are making it brown but there is also a haziness I cannot get rid of.
Trates, trites and ammonia 0, I even did a 50% water change today and it did not solve the problem.
Any Help?
