Welp, finally worked it out with somebody to DELIVER a tank lol. it costed $50 extra but i think it'll work out. i'm getting a 55 gallon with stand, filters heaters power heads and some salt water stuff i won't be using for $150 plus the shipping (i know 200 seems much for a 55, but i'm pretty desperate)

so now i'm going to move over my entire 29 gallon stock to that, that'll leave me with a 55 with:

1 senegal (6")
1 nandus nandus (3")
1 african butterfly (3")
1 fourline pictus (rescued) (5")

no doubt in my mind i'm going with some more bichir, probably 2 more of the smaller species, but then is it going to be full or do you think i can go with something else in there aswell?

it will be filtered by a magnum HOT 250gph, a cascade 300gph hob, and a 100gph sponge filter, added together thats 650gph or almost 12x turnover rate, so i think i'm good in filtration.
 
talked to the guy again, but 10 a.m. wednesday i should be the owner of a nice 55 gallon tank. then about 2 hours of cleaning and setup and it should be close to go-time.......actually my parents don't even know about this, lets hope they don't get really really pissed.
 
thats a bad thing you didnt let your folks know:) :confused: :confused: :)
 
lol well usually they are pretty forgiving because my brother was hell on them (went to jail, got horrible grades, still lives and home) and i've been pretty good (straight A's top 7% act scores ect. ect.) and they made me miss out on a $20 90 gallon tank, so i think its is payback lol. actually they didnt even let me get a 29 gallon tank, i just bought it while we were at walmart and it was in the car when we left and when we got home mom had no clue why it was there lol.......

anyway back to the stock. what do you think i could add to that list?
 
Nothing. Leave it at that.

ok cool.

tommarow is the day! hopefully parents are in a good mood lol
 
add a eel or knifefish
 
both those were thoughts. i guess i'll just see how it pans out, but i'm so happy, i'l be able to add another 55 gallons to mfk water count in about 1 hour and 45 min. i'll post pics
 
congradulations ...hope it all works out well for you.. you deserve it!!!
