So I found a 55g full set up including stand for $80 on craigslist, im going to pick it up this weekend, and set it up for my Hybred Texas Cichlids until i can get a bigger tank for them. I have two 6" Hybred Texas Cichlids, one is bright orange/red with white spots on him, the other is white with orange/red spots. So they will be housed in the new 55g tank until i can get a 150g or larger tank.

I pick up my new 55g tank in the morning, cant wait to get it home and set it up. I'm going to use 2 of the filters on my current 55g to cycle the water, until i get the filters that come with the tank cycled with bacteria. Unsure how i want to look right now, guess ill just wait and see what all the gives me with the tank then decide on the set up decor, rocks, gravel,etc.....
Once I get it setup and running Ill take pics of the tank.
I have been thinking of getting rid of the 2 Hybred Texas cichlids, and making the new 55g a FireMouth tank, with my Alpha pair of FireMouths and 4 of the babies in my fry tank when they're big enough.
Some people are really lucky.:mad: :D

haha it's the whole being single, and having room in the house for the tanks i guess. i was married, and my ex only let me have 1 tank, a 29g, i was so mad at her haha, but now i get to do what i want. But im done getting tanks for right now, the only tanks ill get is only to upgrade sizes. no more new tank unless theyre 125g or larger.

So i just got home from picking up my new 55g tank. And I must say that some people should not be allowed by law to own aquariums. This lady let the 55g get so nasty, its going to take me all night to get this thing clean.
Pics be up later tonight of the tank when its set up and running.
