Starting this spot to get the thread rolling.
Pics of the process will be *coming soon*
Originally tank set up was purchased used for SW.
Through a series of unfortunate circumstances it sat empty for a year (technically it is still empty as of this start of the thread).
The decision was made for this to be a FW tank build. Based upon what I already have a need for which is more FW tank space. Since I haven't found a bargain giant tank for the FW guys they will be in 2 tanks now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Congo Tetras and the Clown Loaches are moving here. Another fish maybe as well, but not sure I can find them available (and can't spell their name atm).
The Congo Tetra's are getting large and the Clown Loaches are growing too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Purchased used is an 80G tank. I think it was $300.00,
SR-80 Nuvo Fusion Lagoon Aquarium and the stand was included which was another huge cost if purchased new.
I had been seeing this tank on sale at my lfs for about a year before my used tank purchase (so ~2 years ago 2017). Initially for 2499. then 1999. Then around the time I got my used one it went to 1499. clearance on floor model.
It is a really pretty piece of equipment.
It is used and in good condition.
Will include the stock photo of tank and stand but will add real photos when setting up.
The stand came along as well but had some water swelling/bulging in the center panel bottom and a little bit on the right side door. All solid and stable. Maybe see if there is a possibility if it is cost effective to buy a new middle door to replace it. Since nothing I own is really perfect, it's not the end all situation. It will be placed near the corner of the room and a viewing chair will be in front of it, so not that big of a deal.
