Picked up some tanks this weekend

[RBE17]

I'm getting back into it now. I picked up a 75g w/ stand, 38g w/ stand and a 125g w/ glass tops. I found the 125g for $125. I did have to rent a van to get everything, but was able to do it only in one trip to the tune of almost 300 miles across two states.

I have a couple of things to take care of before these are up and running. The biggest being painting some rooms and building stands for the 125g and my existing 55g.

I'm not really sure of stocking yet. I know the 125g will be SA/CA Cichlids. Probably an Oscar, Gold Severum, GT & JD. I would like a Jag, but am thinking it would be too big for the current stock list I've picked out. I am also thinking of a Bichir and maybe some Clown loaches. The 55g or 75g might be a growout tank for the 125g. Whichever one I don't use for that will probably be an African Cichlid tank. The 38g has really thin glass and is really tall. I'm hesitant to fill it w/ water. I might disassemble it and use the glass to build a sump. Regardless, I a psyched to have all these tanks.

Later,



Steve.

Will do. I'm sure progress will be slow as I'm in the middle of a few other massive projects. Regardless, it's been way too long to not have a fish tank. The wife has given me many possible places to put "a" tank. I interpreted that conversation as, "You can put a tank it each of the possible places I've mentioned."

That would work, too. The thing is, I don't think she'll mind me having four aquariums throughout the house. We're on this massive organization mission right now. It's all my stuff. I'm a huge pack rat and have a ton of car parts. This past weekend we organized the basement and took all the car parts from the garage to the basement. I have to admit, there is a lot. Then for me to bring three aquariums home that I'm not going to use immediately was a little touchy to say the least. She doesn't seem to have a problem w/ my stuff if I'm using it. I'll keep that in my arsenal to help convince her of having them all over the house.

Nice you can never have too many tanks.

 

[Jkoziatek]

On the 38g I planned on an AC110. The other two (or three), I planned on Eheims and wet/drys that I'll build.

Yep. I picked up the 75g from him, too. Hell of a nice guy!!!
