New 84 gal. tank!!

[Willyleigh]

You may remember me saying that I was going to geta 55gal for my room, but I worked out that if I was to get rid of my smaller 7gal tank I would have room for a 4ft tank.

I was looking at the Juwel rio 300 and told my boss that that was the one that I wanted to buy and he said that he had one for sale and instead of the usual price of £400 I paid £50 for the tank and lights but not the filter which is cr@p anyway!

Can't wait till I get the stand which is coming in on Tuesday, then I'm going to put a pair of Oscars and some Convicts in it.

Wow, super cool deal. What kind of filtration are you going to put on it?

[Severus]

Very cool! I would go with a nice HOB filter and an Eheim canister

[Rue]

Score!

Post set-up pics! Love those!

[gm72]

Agreed with Severus. An Eheim 2028 and an Aquaclear 70 would be a knockout combination!

My LFS has two open top tanks that are like indoor ponds almost. The are each 680 gallons, and in each they have, 2 oscars 4 convicts, 2 JDs, 1 GIANT pleco (they call them pleacos lol), 5 large tiger barbs, and some other large cichlids i cant identify. I think they use a wetdry with them though. I tried to open the cabinet to sneak a peek, but they locked it...

You should just ask them if you can see their filtration. I asked at PetCo and they opened up the cabinet. Some kind of gigantic marineland filter, large biowheel attachment.

I've got some problems with this, I told my mum I was getting the 55 gal and showed her it and she said I could but when she came home and saw that it was now up to 84 gal she was a little cross.

She says that I can't put it into my room cos shes scared the floor will break and told me that I would have to sell it.

I think that I'm talking her around to letting me keep it downstairs but it may take some time.

[Drumachine09]

Nicht so gut.

[Incredulous_Ed]

Congrats!!!! :)

Tell her if she lets you keep it that she can even get to pay for all the things needed!
