That's interesting. I don't think I've seen a 25 gallon tank before.

Okay.....the larger marks on the ruler are 1 inch apart....the middle marks are 1/2 inches.................

Sounds like a good size! What are you gonna put in it?

goldfish are cool. Do they have much of a personality?

 

[black hills tj]

What do you have for filtration/circulation on the tank? Goldfish will outgrow a 20 gallon tank, and boy will they make a mess while they are at it.

marineland penguin 150 bio-wheel and a double bubble bar. they'll be transplanted into a 29 gallon as soon as the stand is built. i'm also looking at a few different tanks on craigslist. i'm probably gonna split them up to lighten the bioload. these twice a week water changes are somewhat time consuming.
