Huge stocking changes...

*Disclaimer* Extremely long post *Disclaimer*

Soo... I have a 75 gallon full of a hodgepodge of random fish my mom liked, a 38 gallon with 4 male endlers, a 10 gallon community, an empty 20 (currently cycling) and a 10 gallon with 3 gold occies...

I want to do some shifting and new tank ideas, yet keep most of my current fish (some of them will go, most of the fish in the 75 gallon need proper schools *rolleyes*) and I also need advice on whether filtration is good enough, light is proper, etc.

Thanks for reading! I'd rather not have to buy anything super expensive... but if it's needed I can try...

BTW, sorry for such a long post, I just decided it'd be better to do all my tanks in one thread instead of a half dozen different ones:hmm3grin2orange:

Wow that's a huge wave of tanks to set up all at the same time. Good luck Jacko!

[Jacko]

Lol, not all at the same time... baby steps for me, the 75 will probably be finished by the end of the year if all works out right... the rest I can do pretty quickly with any luck, except for the paracyps, they're too expensive to rush lol

[Oscar_freak12321]

Ah, ok I thought you were doing all of this at the same time, and you should've seen my eyes gradually get wider and wider as I read down the list.
o.o...O.o...0.0....0.0!!! LOL

[Jacko]

Lol, I wish, but being 16, dropping 2 grand on fish tanks in a single week or months would be a dream (and probably give my parents a heart attack:hmm3grin2orange: ), spread over, say 5 or 6 months is more understandable for them... because I'll change something, wait till they get used to it and change another thing.thumbs2:

Good logic my friend, good logic!
