Really depends on what you're looking for. I've only bought cichlids online myself.

I know for sure I didn't get mine from Petco. I bought mine online from Drs Foster and Smith, but it looks exactly like the one you posted. I do have some bubbling on the inside, but that was due to a leak from one of my HOB's that didn't get noticed for some time. Otherwise, I have had no...

Looks like the stand I have. You'll be happy with it. Have fun setting up the 55! Sent from my SM-N920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Just a thought, but if you have a common pleco, you may consider returning it and getting a smaller species of pleco. Common plecos get pretty big and it will eventually outgrow your 55g. I have a clown pleco in my 55g and it only gets to 4" max or so. Will probably get another one when I can...

Nice. I wish I worked from home. I feel like I don't get to enjoy my tanks as much as I would like since I'm constantly out and about. Love the idea of a Cory tank. They're one of my favorite fish! Sent from my SM-N920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Lucky! Was very tempted to grab a 40g this weekend, but the gf said no more tanks since I already have a 55g, a 75g, and a 10g in our apt haha. She said when we move to a bigger place, I can get a bigger tank. Always wanted a 125g or larger tank Sent from my SM-N920V using Aquarium Advice...

Might be a hard sell right now since Petco currently has their $1 per gallon sale going on in Chicago. Might be a good time to just go grab a 10g or even a 20g-40g while the sale is happening.

I may be interested in a trade. Let me know what you're thinking, or what works for you. What part of Chicago are you from?

Hey Jono I'm local to Chicago and have 2 10g's with hood/lights, as well as a 36g bowfront (tank only). I have spare heaters, but they haven't been used in awhile so not sure if they still work. I may have spare filters as well, but I need to check. If you're interested, let me know. Maybe we...

Awesome, thanks. Now I just got to get around to doing it haha. Thinking Sunday is WC day so that should be a good day as any. Sent from my SM-N920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yea I figured that would be a possibility, but I have no issue with having to re-tape. Especially if it isn't a constant thing. Thanks Sent from my SM-N920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thank you =) Sent from my SM-N920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Will do, and I appreciate that. I'm not worried about the crypts either haha. They are pretty hardy Sent from my SM-N920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I can relate with Fresh. I used black poster board for my 20g and painted my 75g before I set it up. I decided to buy a background for the 55g since having to move it out to paint isn't ideal. I will most likely just tape it on instead of actually applying it. It seems more practical and I'm too...
