I was recently given a suprise gift by my wife and friends:19: . They found a 120gallon tank w/ stand , hood and lights on CL for $200. They split the cost and snuck it in the garage after my wife dragged me out of the house to run errands with her. I was pleasntly suprised but a bit overwhelmed , as Ive recently had to close down all but three of my tanks(75,55,30hosp.) due to health and money issues. Any worry or concerns passed quickly when they offered to help set it up:hmm3grin2orange:. I came up with the plan of moving the residents and filtration of the 75 and 55 into the 120 , and then closing them down to put in storage or preferably sell. Got started yesterday but unfortunately I wasnt able to finish. There is still some work to do on the rocks and shells and still a few fish in the 75 I will move over in the next few days , along with the extra filtration. Hope you enjoy the pics!

What an amazing gift, and an even more amazing WIFE!! She and your friends are wonderful, so generous. thumbs2:
The fish are beautiful - I used to keep Mbuna years ago, but yours are way nicer than what I had! :18:
(i am SO jealous - my hubby would never give me something like that....)

That's a great tank. It may just be the ticket for you to have this big tank and condense down to only one if several are getting too much for you.
I hope you're soon feeling better soon.
