Finishing up my stocking list

[carey]

It is. it is I think 5 inched wider.

how much bigger is a 75 from a 55 i thought it was only a couple inches taller

If your looking at the all glass aquariums like the ones sold at petco, petsmart etc, a 75 is usually 18 inches wide compared to only 12 inches on a 55. Which does not sound like a huge difference but it is when it comes to aquascaping. It's a pain trying to set up the rock work in a tank that's only 12 inches wide especially when your trying to set it up as a reef tank, I would pick the 75 for that reason alone.

i ended up buying the 55g. The 75 setup wasnt as nice as the 55. I'm still second guessing my choice lol

 

[hackteck]

oh so you purchased the one from ebay?

 

[carey]

Yep.

I'm very excited. I'll be starting a thread soon enough for it! LOL

It gets delivered on Tuesday. woot!

 

[hackteck]

nice good purchase

 

[carey]

Thanks very much!

 

[Swimzebras]

Good luck!!

why is it the law of the universe to always find something better and cheaper after you buy something? lol i got this 55G and stand i have now for 150 and i see a 125G on craigslist for 100 without stand

 

[Swimzebras]

Cuz there is always something better and cheaper out there! And that's still a GREAT deal as far as I'm concerned.

yea it was a good deal but i wanted something bigger and it wasnt in the budget heh

 

[Swimzebras]

Same here.... it kinda stinks

 

[carey]

Lucky for me I still get to keep looking for a 125g.

I hope I don't see any SW setups for a better price. lol

I'm thinking on calling the guy and getting his 75g instead. Lights arent as good though and it doesnt include rock or sand.

 

[iDream]

If your going to get a tang or really want to if it were me I'd definitely get the 75 to be safe.

I think I found the centerpiece fish so to speak. Pajama cardinals. I can get a small school of them. They are peaceful and reef safe. Anyone know how many should be in a school?

 

[hackteck]

I'll check into that not a bad idea

They are kinda cute too. I like the idea of them schooling. I was thinking four of them? Not sure if thats too much or too little. lol

 

[hackteck]

Maybe a member with more knowledge can chime in I like the idea of having a school of those fish

Thats what I'm hoping will happen. Someone has to have these fish. lol

 

[Swimzebras]

I think five works best for a school in general as a minimum
