So I got this 90 drilled tank for free a couple years ago. Finally bought a steel stand for her. Got the neighbor to help get it on the stand. And filled her up on the front porch of the fish house to test it out. Might just pull a Mugs and leave it there over the summer and put some angels in it.

There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives.

My tank temp was up to 78-80 deg's today.... ;D   I may need to cover/shade the south side glass a bit...??....

You may need to get some form of canopy over it to prevent it from getting too hot.  Mine is under cover with an east exposure.

The top will have floating plants. The early sun doesn't hit the east end of the tank til mid/late morn'n because of the deck shade....but the south side gets a bunch most the day....

Obviously this tank is a pet.  You have given her a gender.  Have you named her yet?  I think that Natalie would be nice.  I have no idea why :o

This tank is a tank. Nothing more. Nothing less. "She" is a term used for ages when referring to certain items. A machine is always a "she".  Even Scotty called the Enterprise "she". So did Captain Kirk and many others.

There is a similarity to "shes" but that's another thread.

Heck even oil wells and geysers are called "she"

Well it seems to hold water. Drained it and will get it cleaned up and gravel put in with rocks, plants, etc. Now what kind of fish? Hmm.

I have a pair of HB parent raisers that I would part with for a pretty penny but you will have to butter me up pretty good :P
