JDigital Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Ooh nice tank. What are you going to put in there? To be honest I haven't decided... haha.. I'm still doing some reading to figure out what works with what. I have been leaning towards Angels thought to start.

Discus_Galore Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 We started with basic tropicals like Angels, Bala Sharks, Rainbow Sharks. They sure taught us a lot, and they were very patient with us as we moved them into bigger and bigger tanks, with newer and weirder friends (african dwarf frogs, rope fish, apple snails, cichlids, ID shark, scissortails, you name it! We had a very... "Eccentric" tank). Hope you enjoy your fishy adventure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Pressure Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Beautiful tank - and welcome to AA. Do you have a use for more gravel? I have about 150 pounds of that exact same stuff! You will find all kinds of cool stuff here on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharuq1 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I just noticed your tank edges are a bit bigger than your stand. Everyone correct me here if I am wrong, but if it was my tank I would put a board underneath it over top the stand so that it takes the whole weight on the edges.

I have tanks on racks that hang off the edges with no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
