Nukes25 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 after selling off my 60 in the fall, I missed having a larger tank, so, last week, I picked up a used 90g from a member on here, and just got it filled up today. here's a pic at the start of fill up .. and I managed to find a great deal, brand new and 260$, petsmart sale, but right now I'm not sure if I want to stick with the stock output nozzle, or use the spray bar I made for my doomed 120g last year as for stocking, not too sure what way I want to go yet, would like to go with some midsized fish, as it stands now, the only fish that will come over from my current 45g will be some pleco's :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Looks like a nice winter project. Don't forget about the plants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGuppyGirl Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Good lord, the stocking possiblities :-P, a hundred or so dwarf (habrosus, hastatus, pygmaseous) corys would look amazing IMHO lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Znaika Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 FX5 is a bit of overkill for 90G, unless you are planning for very messy fishes or deliberate overstocking. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukes25 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) well, I picked up some black krylon fusion, and painted my diy spraybar, then had it filled up and running for the last week, seeded it with media from my established 45g, got the temp all stabilized, and went out and got some additions for it today, I picked out 4 rainbow cichlids, the gf picked out 2 convicts ( might get crazy) but ended up with 5.., and she snuck in 2 jewel cichlids as well, I didnt notice them until we got home, as we had picked up some tetra's and gourami's for the 45g not much has been done for aquascaping yet, had some extra rocks kicking around, and some small pots from the gf's 10g, waiting to find some more driftwood, to put into the 45 so I can take my nice pieces out from there and put them in the 90, and add my pleco's in a few weeks the gf's 45g Edited January 13, 2013 by Nukes25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremoose Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Love the stocking. It's all about central/south American cichlids. Looking great! Can we get some more pics of the inhabitants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukes25 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 yeah, I love the cichlids, they become a decent size, and are awesome, I'll get some more pics over the next few days as they settle in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukes25 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 not too much going on, made some clay pot caves, added them to the 90 and 45, and pulled one of the driftwood's out of the 45 and put it in the 90 the 90 and the 45 .. but I did a water change last week, and the temp must have spiked a little too high (even though I adjust the temp before I fill) and have an ich outbreak in the 45 right now, and I lost my leopard frog pleco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukes25 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 got all moved and pretty much settled in now, at least the tank is all settled, I shut down the 45, but still have the 90, and here's some pics I took this morning after water change dont mind the straps, I broke the center brace when moving, so using them to keep it from bowing until I can fully fix it the biggest rainbow A T-Bar I picked up in feb a big group hiding under some wood my synspilum, he's growing fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a keyhole cichlid, I've got a pair in there, they max out @6", and are a more peaceful cichlid, and these 2 I have seem to be slow growers, I got all these guys within the same time, and roughly the same size, and they've barely grown, where the other guys are growing big and fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
