  1. Large tanks have more options on stocking but require more time for maintenance. And added costs of bigger equipment costs and much larger months costs. I know first hand as I got an 180 150 135 125 90 gallon tanks and another 4 20-30 gallon quarantine tanks. Love the look of your planted tank...not sure I be brave enough to use soil I dug up. Fish are too costly to replace.

  2. Retrofitting my 90 gallon bowfront into a dart frog paradise. Looking to get glass lids made for it. Took off bottom brace temporary to take into glass shop to get "tight" fitting glass cut. My quest is how thick should I go. Few consideration to think about.

    1. Tank is 48" long with a center brace with a curve due to being a bowfront

    2. We have a fat cat that love to jump on things cat is around 15-20lbs.

    3. Have t5ho lights to sit on glass on short stands.

    Thinking 4,5, or 6mm glass.

  3. Lots of rocks. Stacked to make caves. More hiding spots given ...the more you will see of the fish, that's how my mbuna is. Mbuna tanks tend to need a bit of an over stocking to spread out aggression to more fish. Just need to up filtration to accomplish this. Could add a 3rd species I would think.. albino scoffoli are a very nice white fish looks great with electric yellows. Just my opinion but you will love mbuna.

  4. Drilling all done... first hole very scared to do but worked out great. 3 holes drilled with no issues at all. Thanks for all tips. My froggies will be very happy with a waterfall feature. Completely hidden thanks to bulk heads.

  5. looking to drill my 90 gal bowfront

    looking for bulkheads and diamond hole saws.

    looking for best price for them.

    need 1.25" hole saw bit for the 1/2" bulkhead

    thinking big box stores for hole saw but bulkheads are eluding me

    any help would help

  6. Definitely need some WATER!!

    I read somewhere water is definitely required

    For plants. Opinions will very on depth of substrate and type of substrate. Lots of plant gurus on here.

    Fish will vary on what you like and size of tank.

    MTS will hit at some point ..you have been warned. I started with a 36 gallon bow...now got around 1000gallons of water in 9 tanks.

  7. Looking for few suggestions for a heater for an fluval ebi shrimp cube. 8 gallon tank 13" tall. Thinking about an 50w heater will be more than enough. Most heater I look at are 8+" which could look even larger in tank looking for something 5"ish. Not sure if any brand makes them that small.

  8. Gotta love waking up and going to check tanks out only to find my 1500 gal/hr pump sitting idle. After doing an hour of trouble shooting to get pump going again..unsuccessful. trip to store and $300 later got new pump. Love my sump systems but very costly if something goes wrong. No fish were lost so crisis diverted this time. Upside is an upgrade to my pump to 1800 gal/hr
