Just wanted to check with everyone and see what your options are and tank material? I personally like my acrylic tanks but don't mind glass either. I have found awesome deal on acrylic tanks that have scratches then take my time sanding and buffing the tank.

Thank you.

So my biggest tank I am running now is a 55 gal acrylic. Attached are the pictures of a 5ft 90gal acrylic I am buying from my buddy at work but can figure out why the bulkheads are placed dead center in the bottom of the tank or why you would need 6 holes? He got it from someone off offer up...

The first pics are how I had it setup then we moved. The middle is after we moved and the last to are for the most part how it is now. Don't have good pics of all the fish out. I will try to get some pics when I doing a feeding next time.

Thanks. He was an impulse buy and one of the more expensive fish I have bought. Once I seen him I knew I had to have him. I will most likely get another one.

Only thing I can think of or close to it is a beneficial bacteria ball you can get as a 4 to 8 pack at the pet store. I have used them once and found one in my tank 2 months later and it had swelled up to about this size. Once they are in the water you cant see them and only way I found it was...

Thank you for the info. It will be interesting to see how they all turn out.

Hope this finds everyone doing well. I am Kenneth and have been keeping fish for going on a year now. I was briefly into it years ago and a buddy at work got me back into last winter. I am currently running a 55gal, 13gal as a small grow out/ hospital tank, and 10gal for my daughter and a 3.5gal...

I would have to agree as I have had this same issue in my tank. I dont mind the off color as I think it gives my tank more of a natural look. I have heard from people that you can boil the wood for hours to get the tannins out if the color was bothering you. I have not tried this myself so can't...

Hopefully this help to identify one of your fish. I had one of these to and it took me a long to to track down what it was. Good luck.

My blue acara and electric blue acara mated after putting them in my hospital tank. Has anyone ever seen this before or how they may color up? I have attached pics and yes I know the tank is kind of dirty as I haven't been able to do a deep clean because they have constantly had batches of fry...
