man that sucks but better than nothing i geuss. ever consider returning the piranhas ? no way 3 of them will be able to live out their lives in a 40 (you could get away with 1 )

heres what i'd do blackmail: "if you dont buy me that 120g tank im guna call child support and tell them your abusing me"
 
Sounds like your parents got you a great sump for your new tank!
Too bad you gotta buy yourself a tank now. :(
 
i plan on puttting them in it for a little while they are only 4 inches max, and while there in there ill save up and buy a bigger tank
 
You've got time to save up and buy another tank. After a few more inches they'll dramatically slow down in growth. You'll just have to be religious with water changes until you can get a bigger tank.
 
Id just save up for the 120 then swich the 40 to the sump. I think its a bit much to ask your parents to buy you a 120g setup for x mas. I bought a 125g by myself when i was about 14. I used a paper route to buy it. I also bought a beareded dragon and setup. Point is, its your hobby and imo you should pay for it and not rely on others for the big purchases. Its ok for them to help you a bit or front the money, but having them pay for an entire 120 g setup is greedy. a 120g tank alone is 200-300$, iron stand 100$,filter 100$ plus, lighting, heaters... more.Thats expecting your parents to spend over 500$ for you. My 125g tank bill for the main stuff was almost 900$ (tank iron stand, xp3, heater) then i probably paid another grand or two for more for it.
 
thanks everyone for the advice
 
is the 40b 48x18? or 36x18? either way it is still a nice tank and three will be fine in it for a while. footprint is more important than overall gallons. a 40b is much better than a 55g.
