I recently dug out my parents old 80 gallon hexagon tank that hasnt been used in probably around 20 years, needless to say it needs work.
Today I cleaned all the old gravel out and Ive resealed it. So now im looking for something heavy duty that Ill be able to clean the acrylic with. It used to be a salt water tank and was never cleaned on properly after the last use so there is still some residue.
Im also looking for some ideas of what to stock the tank with in a couple weeks after its all clean and up and running. The last time it was a freshwater tank my parents had a Oscar in it. Ive had Oscars before but this time Im I think Id rather have a lot of little fish than 1 or 2 big fish. The only fish i have right now in another tank is a pleco which will be moved to this tank once its up so im open to just about anything that will work with my pleco.
These are just some of the fish I came across at work that I liked:
Orange Sailfin Molly, (Red)Dalmatian Sailfin Molly, Boesemani Rainbow, Red Swordtail and Panda Cory.
