Title: Update to grow out tank
Post by: P4Angels on March 01, 2014, 08:08:53 PM
So I get this call form a friend.  He say he has a 160 tall aquarium that he wants to trade for a 90 gallon tank.  Tank for tank...  Im like hmmmm.... So Lori and I went down to get this tank today... and here it is:

That's our 120 grow out under it.   Looks so small.. Now I have to modify my stand to fit the beast....  and 2 corner HMF to the back side corners.   With this beast we went to Harbor Freight
and got 2 264 GPH Submersible Fountain Pumps (http://www.harborfreight.com/264-gph-submersible-fountain-pump-68395.html#.UxKT4fldV8E (http://www.harborfreight.com/264-gph-submersible-fountain-pump-68395.html#.UxKT4fldV8E) to one end of 3/4" PVC lift tubes.  That should be enough filter to get the job done...

Those pumps look like the Eco pumps I get from Ken's.  Great pumps for a great price too.

I just got back from getting another 40 breeder. Paid $20.00 for it. Time and patience just need to wait it out for a big tank.

Gosh.  I don't think I'd have been able to part with that 160.

Went and moved that 160 for the last 2 times last night and realized that I hate bigger tank.... That or I'm just getting old to move them around lol!!!  So I got a 90 gallon and an additional 75 gallon in trade for the 160.... Lori has the plan for the 75 and moving a 40 breeder (baby tank around... should work nicely and conserve some more space in the main room.
