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 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.

Nice score, that's a big tank. I want to find a trade like that. I Just need time and patience.

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.
Always move forward. Never look back.

neither did we but it just won't work for the stand that we have

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.
