Big fish tanks are so damn cool, I wish I had the time and motivation to maintain one.
After owning a 45g tall tank.. never ever ever ever again. Maybe 45g long.. but honestly 20-25g long tank would be my max.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yeah, that seems to be what most people say. Our neighbors used to have this enormous salt water tank (no idea how many gallons but it was probably 6 feet wide and 3 feet tall) built right into their house and we would take care of it while they were on holidays. I would watch that thing for like an hour at a time, but I was so glad I wasn't the one having to maintain it haha. We had a standard 20gal with basic fish when I was a kid, and within a week they became my parents' pets lol. Turns out I don't enjoy tank maintenance.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I tried twice now to feed fresh with both cucumber and green beans and both were untouched the next morning so hes back to algae wafers.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I had a 29G growing up as a kid and don't find this 90G any more difficult to maintain than the smaller one.Although I did do the first few water changes with 5G buckets and quickly bought the proper stuff. Now I can change 70G of water in under an hour and most of that is just waiting for the water to fill.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
its so easy to lose track of time staring into it. I think I'm up to 31 animals in their.
Bigger tank is definitely easier than smaller. When things go wrong they go wrong much slower and the system is more easily able to adjust.
That Pleco might get huge in a tank that big btw. They can be scary little fuckers once they are big.

10 redeye tetrasThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
6 glowlight tetras
6 dannios (3 pearl 1zebra 2glo)
5 kuhli loach
2 snails
1 bristnose pleco
I love the kuhli loach and plan on getting more. mine aren't very big yet but I could watch them all day. Their mainly nocturnal though so you only see them during the day if they are hungry but their silhouettes with the blue light on at night is really cool to see wiggling through the water.
I won't derail this thread anymore but thats super coolThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You'll want to pick up a piece of driftwood for the bristlenose to munch on, doesn't have to be a big piece but it'll definitely benefit from it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Thanks but there is already a piece of mopani (sp) driftwood in there. Its the arched piece on the center right side propped up by the little cave.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think we need an aquarium thread there seems to be enough interest...
There's an aquarium pics thread from years ago, feel free to get it going again.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I know what you mean. I used to have a big office chair in front of my 90 gal and would sit there just watching my fish for forever sometimes, especially my clown loaches. Those guys were hilarious.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Boom! Here's my reef tank:
Here's mine about a year ago. Sadly, I've gotten lazy over the past 6 months I've lost half my corals. I'm planning to pick things back up and re-start with a clean slate this Winter. (This tank has been up for about 4 years, and made it through tow moves, but now it's time to re-boot.)

Would this help with aquarium photography?
If you play around with lighting you can typically reduce glare, especially if you turn off all your other lights around the tank that could reflect off the glass.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

How big is that? love a reef but dont want to go huge.. Nano's are intriguing but know they're super hard to doThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If you're only using it to shoot your aquarium, it's overkill. Just get a cheap rubber lens hood that screws into your filter thread, or shoot in the evening with your house lights turned off.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
