Good afternoon all. On Wednesday I will be picking up a 300 gallon acrylic tank and stand. The tank is mostly to house my silver aro who is rapidly outgrowing the 75 he is in, as well as his current tank mates. I was also looking for some other stocking ideas.
Current stock going into 300:
1 8" silver arowana
1 8" ornate bichir
1 6" bgk
1 4" bleekeri
1 5" electric blue acara
2 4" Nicaraguan cichlids
1 3" yoyo loach.
I'm pretty excited about this tank. It has a built in sump. Called a weir right? The stand is tube steel. Best of all, it's being sold by a local church for $200. It will take some work, the 3d background in it is enormous and takes up more than half the tank so that will come out. The tank needs some heavy polishing as well, but for the price I can't turn it down. Again stocking ideas would be great. Also, do you think I could get away with not sanding it? I plan on hitting it with novus first to find out for sure. Thanks guys.
