My second 75g!!!

I don't know if the sypon would hold if it had to uphill 1st. That's a good question. Hey-another thing you might think of doing is putting the tank on cinder blocks. I hope Bderick67 doesn't mind me posting this picture, it's one he posted of his cinder block stand that I thought was an excellent idea. Because there's room underneath it for storage. You could put it 1, 2 or 3 blocks high. I had a 130 g on blocks for almost a year. It's super solid. Put a peice of plywood on top of the blocks and set the tank on that. Works great and it would solve your entire syphon problem.

Grrrr. I already filled it and I'm adding some fish already.
I'm acclimating my bumblebee catfish. Yes I know about cycling, but I've never had a problem without cycling the tank before adding fish.

Sick. That tank is gonna be sweet.

As far as it being on the floor, I think it's fine if you want it there except the siphoning part that is gonna be harder but not impossible.

Keep us updated and thanks for sharing.

OK thanks
will do

i think he wants it on the ground

I wanted it on the ground because if I had a stand there, It would be right in front of a window which I wouldn't want. But the cinder block idea is good because I could make the hight less than a stand, but not at the window.

I would not put a spotted pictus in an uncycled tank with high ammonia or nitrite. They will die in bad water conditions.

The fish from the 26g are cycling it for the pictus cats.
