[stewnew]

One word: Craigslist

Found this deal, was picking it up the next day

a 75 gallon bowfront, sump,T5 lighting.. absolutely beautiful

Ive got pics of the move, I actually managed to measure all my fish during the process too which i was excited about...

Check it outtt

Very very nice job. Aquarium looks great. What kind of sand did you put in there?

 

[stewnew]

its crushed aragonite

keeps my pH high

Nice find !!! But, I don't think going from 55--->75 is much of an upgrade. I would just keep both tanks and possibly divide the fish among them.

Good luck, looks great!!!!

yes and yes/it settles down

new sand is always very cloudy and you have to rinse it before use but this was the same sand in my 55, i only had to add a small additional bag and thats why it was cloudy...

at least he did improve a bit. Whats the stocklist?

thanks man!

I dont have positive IDs on a lot of them. maybe you guys can help me out if i post some pics up on here

of those that I know:
mbuna: yellow labidochromis, blue johanni, red zebra,
peacocks: sunshine peacock, and at least 5 others w/o ID
haps: electric blue ahli
Ive even got a compressicep in there,
and an algae eater as well as a bn pleco

i rinsed my sand so many times i couldnt get rid of the cloudy look so i washed it until it came kind of clear i hope my filters clean the rest up and settles on its own
