Anybody into fish tanks?

For me, its not a hobby. Its an addiction. lol I've had fresh water aquariums since 2001, and have had pretty good luck with them. However, I just set up my first brackish tank.

I have 4 tanks at the moment. A 75 gallon community tank with a bunch of tetras of different varieties, 5 medium/large angels, 2 gold gouramis, and 9 cory cats. I have a 20 gallon with a betta, a few dwarf gouramis, neon tetras, and harlequin rasboras, a 10 gallon with black neons, glow light tetras, and a betta, and I also have a 10 gallon brackish tank with a young dragon goby.

Next project is to either get a large tank (120 gallon or bigger) and turn it into the community tank with the tetras and angels, and add a couple discus, and turn the 75 into the brackish tank. OR, get a 55 gallon, and make that the brackish tank. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I'd like to get the large tank and make the 75 gallon brackish, but it comes down to $$.

I'll post pics sometime soon. What do you all have?

Fish tanks are cool until they get dirty.  I wish i was as dedicated as you because having a huge tank would be awesome.  

There is a very easy way to keep them clean without a bunch of strenuous maintenance. Instead of using gravel, use sand, and have cory cats in every tank. The crap that doesn't get sucked into the filter sinks to the bottom. With gravel, it filters through the pebbles, and to the bottom glass of the tank. With sand, it stays on the surface of it, and the corys eat it. When I switched, it slashed the water change time because I didn't have to vacuum the sand. Basically all I do now is replace water, and only have to vacuum out a couple corners, or spaces under rocks. It would take me 45 minutes to do water changes in my 75g. Now, it takes about 5 minutes. All my tanks take about 30 minutes total.

I have a 55 gallon fresh water tank with sand substrate, dual bio wheel filter, fan, etc.. I have a bunch of different type of tetras, 2 species of Cory cats and a couple others.  Went and got my water tested yesterday and it was almost perfect but in the past week I've lost 5 fish: 2 plecos, silver dollar tetra, and another tetra I forget the name. I'm chalking it up bad timing for all of them. Those Cory cats are amazing at keeping the sand clean, thinking of getting two more spotted ones. 

I also have one bala shark. Seriously thinking of making it strictly a bala and angelfish tank. The smaller fish are fun but the maintenance can be a bit much.

Always been into fish. I remember carrying out a 5 gallon fish tank from Sears when I was a wee lad thinking it was the shiz. Gone as crazy as a full on 125 Salt Water Tank back in the day to my current 60 in the Man Cave. Wouldn't do a Salt tank again unless fish and coral become sustainable through tank propagation as our reefs are getting raped throughout the world.

When I strike it rich, I am going to have a giant fish tank that has full size sharks. It will be sunken into the back yard with thick glass on the top so you can walk on it, and a tunnel around it so you can go down and see the fish. but the best part is that in the middle will be a swimming pool. So that when you go swimming, you are swimming with the sharks.

    • It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point. 
    • So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.
    • Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
