W00hoo New Tank!

[LadyHatred]

As the title says, W00hoo! Came with lots of gravel, some lava rock (think thats what it is) powerhead, AC 50, Marineland canister filter (330), coralife lights (two skinny bulbs, long as the tank), covers for the top, 250watt heater and a stand.

No idea, whatsoever, what I'm going to put in it. Thinking maybe convits..but I dunno!

AND! My crappy little camera lived after being through the 10gallon flood! The "right" and "down" directional buttons dont work but it takes pics! Yay!

Heres a pic:

And!! Vortex called me today and said they were mailing out a new motor today and that because I had to ship it to em, they tossed in a charge. lol Couldn't make myself tell them I have 5 pounds of the stuff waiting here. >.<

Congrats but how big is it!?!? I think you told us everything but that!

[MCHRKiller]

Tank looks great! What size is it?

[LadyHatred]

LOL!! So excited I totally forgot! *red face* It's 60 gallons. Ahahah Sorry!

[MCHRKiller]

Nice :) Ive always loved how 60Gs are so nice and tall. Since you have the lace rock Id do a nice CA tank and maybe add some driftwood to the scape.

P.S. dont do convcits!!! lol

I don't think I will...they would work with my water, but...I need to know more about cichlids in general before I take that road.

It's SOOO hard not to dump the contents of my 25 into it right now! LOL but then I'd have a 60 gallon female betta tank!

I had planned on collecting drift wood today but it's rainin cats n dogs out so for now, I'll just sit on teh couch and look at it.

How long can it stay empty before the silicone starts to dry out? It's been a week, according to the guy (wont' say his name but; Thanks again!!!) I bought if from.

[Hailey]

Tanks sit empty for years and the silicone is still fine. I think you'll be alright. Mine has been sitting for a long, long time...

I hope...
