lol yeah he probably has 40-60 lbs to go...he was 90 lbs at 6 months which indicates hes probably gonna get to 160-180+ lol for his hips sake I hope its not 180
thanks Luanne
been one year now since I tore the tank down due to adding a powder brown and getting ich and killing off everything...and I am now at full capacity for fish I believe as long as my two tigers hang on this time lol
again just not enough knowledge or care in me to tell myself do not put a tang in your cube tank lol glad I put a little more thought into it this time...and I do say "a little" probably pushing some limits on the fish count I have

it is so tempting to see a fish and go oh I want it. I have to not buy anymore fish. these guys are going to get big. I can add some more cabbage and waving hands but that is about it.lol yeah he probably has 40-60 lbs to go...he was 90 lbs at 6 months which indicates hes probably gonna get to 160-180+ lol for his hips sake I hope its not 180

I know its very hard not to keep buying more fish lol...I kind of like the point im at though....now u just sit back and watch them grow ...the other nice part is its a lot less likely to introduce disease and whatnot if your not adding anything new...and of course the other alternative is to just get another tank and there u have it your free to go about and buy fish again...im thinking really hard about getting a 180 gallon tank but then that thought enters your mind of here we go again with all this worry about things going south in the new tank...I kind of like the feeling of being done for now lol

Needed some work. Had scratches and developed a leak which is why he was giving it away. Coulda took it apart and rebuilt it but decided it wasn't worth the effort. Already have a stack of tanks in my garage taking up too much space. Was a 97g rimless though.
Kinda been plannin a acrylic build i may start in the fall. Leaning heavily towards a large cube. Have a perfect space for it.

So jay...I seen in another thread you saying someone didn't need a skimmer if they didn't have a reef tank...I'm curious in my case I only have my skimmer...I have no filter what so ever and it's been maybe 2 years now and my algae seems under control...I guess my system seems to be doing just fine? My skimmer is I guess doing the job of a would be filter? Just curious more then anything I guess lol
