My name is Chris. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and I'm 20 years old going on 21. I am new to this site, but not new to the aquaria hobby. I've owned multiple aquariums throughout my life. Currently I own 3 tanks;

30 Gallon SA/CA Cichlid Tank:
-(2) Festivum Cichlid(s) [Male & Female Pair]
-(1) Bolivian Ram Cichlid
-(1) Clown Loach
-(1) Pimelodella Four Line Catfish
-(1) Marbled Sailfin Plecostomus
-(1) Royal Plecostomus
-(1) Albino Bushy Nose Plecostomus [Male]

29 Gallon Polypterus (Grow-Out) Tank:
-(1) Endlicheri Bichir
-(1) Nigerian Senegalus [Tank Raised]
-(1) Electric Blue Jack Dempsey Cichlid
-(1) Synodontis Multipunctatus X Eupterus Catfish [Hybrid]
-(1) Rhino Plecostomus
-(1) Inspector Plecostomus
-(1) Spotted Rubbernose Plecostomus

10 Gallon Saltwater Tank:
-This tank is currently being setup for a small saltwater, possibly a mini reef tank. I'll have a stock list once I finish the setup and figure out what direction I want to go with it.

I have been working some bigger tank builds but due to my lack of income I can't finish them as fast as I'd like to. As of right now I have a 300 gallon plywood/acrylic tank in the build process. It's just a frame for now, but once I have the funds to order my acrylic I will finish prepping the tank for water and get all my plumbing done. And also the setups I currently have may or may not be final. I know for a fact that my 29 gallon Polypterus setup will need to be upgraded soon because my Bichir and Senegalus both are reaching close to 12". The 300 gallon build will most likely be my new Polypterus tank, however, I'd like to go bigger. I want my fish to get as big as possible. I want MONSTERS! But that's about it for now. Look around for my posts, I'll have some tank pics and videos soon once I get more established on the site
 
Thanks! I'm hoping to atleast have it water ready within the next month or two! I'll worry about getting filtration and whatnot done once I make sure it holds water. It's my first tank build I've done myself so we'll see how it turns out

So I have had some unexpected deaths in the 30 gallon recently so I wanted to throw this idea out. I want to change the tanks a bit to make thinks better for the inhabitants.

My idea was to give away/sell my male & female Festivum Cichlids and my Bolivian Ram, then take the Polypterus' from the 29 and put them in the 30. Then move the clown loach into the 29 with the EB Jack Dempsey.
The stock list would be:

30 Gallon Polypterus Aquarium:
-(1) Endlicheri Bichir
-(1) Nigerian Senegalus
-(1) Pimelodella Four Line Catfish
-(1) Marbled Sailfin Pleco
-(1) Royal Pleco

29 Gallon Aquarium:
-(1) Electric Blue Jack Dempsey Cichlid
-(1) Clown Loach
-(1) Synodontis Multipunctatus X Eupterus Catfish [Hybrid] (MAY BE SOLD. UNSURE)
-(1) Rhino Pleco
-(1) Inspector Pleco
-(1) Spotted Rubber Pleco

Let me know if you think this stock list will work out a lot better than the current list in the initial post. I believe it will be better, but I'm no pro so let me hear everyone's opinion?
 
My signature has links to all my tank setups and my tank build threads!! check them out and stop by my youtube page as well. I don't have any updated videos on my page yet, but I should start having some nice videos soon. My 225g tank build is moving along. Slow, but it is moving. anyway, check out my links in the signature and let me know what you guys think.
