Hey there, as you all know, i've been planning on upgrading for awhile. And today is that day! Found a great deal for a 6x2.5x2.5ft tank. Got my dad to rally up some of his workmates to help in transporting the tank.
Here is the tank in the back of the truck
OMG THE SHEER SIZE OF IT IS MAKING ME EXCITED!
(hand for reference)
The package includes a stand and an 80g sump, making the total volume 360g! Berlin style i think....
So after a tedious task of carrying from the seller's flat on the 6th floor all the way to the truck and then back up 6 floors to my house, the tank was finally Home Sweet Home!
Ok we all know that biological filtration is the most important filtration in any aquarium tank. But don't you think this is going overboard? I mean there must be about a hundred or more bio-balls! Thats tons and tons of surface area!!!
Once the background is sticked and all the plumping is done, its time to fill up the tank. And some photos
No lights yet as my wallet is burn, so I've just have to make do with the room lights
After dosing Stability, the residents of my 70g are ready for their new home. They are a 12" ornate, 8" delhezi, 8" senegal, 13" ropefish and a 5" palma polli. And 5 apple snails
Massive upgrade from the 70g to a 280g. I'm in fact increasing the volume by 4x
! Now my 70g looks more like a 10g when its beside the 280g.
My evolution in the hobby
5g -> 70g -> 280g
End result
For $380, i would say its a good deal. Thanks fellow MFK member (sorry, i forgot your user as your post has been deleted) for selling me this tank at such a cheap price!
Future stocking list
