I want to thank all who replied to my post. I'm going to put it out side, I don't have a shed or garage, so I will have some 2x4's that will make a base around the tank, supported on two saw horses. I will fill it with water and let it sit a couple of weeks. If it doesn't leak, I'll drain and do...

update on Chipped 75 gal. OK. I have some clearer pictures of the chip in my 75 gal. I hope these help to see what I'm dealing with. Also, the course of action I was thinking of taking was to fill the tank with water for a week or so, then if all is fine, fill the chip with aquarium safe...

dbosman, Sorry, I just notice the picture weren't attached...I'll try again. Thanks, Ghpr1957:)

allaboutfish, I'm confused on how I would do that to add support to the corner edge...Wouldn't putting a right angle piece of matal frame work better? Thanks, Ghpr1957:)

Thank you both for your replies. I am going to fill it with water to see if it will leak. I would just like to reinforce the area that is chipped just for added security. Ghpr13:)

Really? 29 people view my post and not one reply? Ghpr1957:(

I have a 75gal aquarium that I got with a Fluval 404 filter, a Penguin 350B filter, a 200w heater, a full 2 bulb light bar, two glass tops, and another small HOB filter. It came with a wooden stand with a door and storage space. All for $250.00. Well, as I was cleaning it I notice a chip in...

Don't feel too bad. I'm in the same boat. I'm getting ready to set up a 75gl tank and transfer the fish in my 30gl to it. I want it planted with some swords, but I have 3 Silver Dollars that have torn up the swords I have now. So as much as I like my Silver Dollars, I might have to get rid of...

Well if you can't get a Python, I don't see why you couldn't get a regular garden hose in whatever size you need, and attached that to utility sink. Then you can adjust the water temp and fill your tank. Ghpr1957:)

mykidsmylife, I got a laugh out of your story about Chucky! Gladly he was OK. I have to tell you that I have used the air cans so successfully with my 3 cats (Simba age 17, Nettie age 4, Tiger age 3) that allot of times all I have to do is make a "Pssst!" sound myself, and off they go. All...

If it becomes a problem with your cat/cats getting up on your tank, you can get a special item called SSSSCat. It's a small can of compressed air (OK for the environment) that has an inferred top on it. When the cat (or anything) crosses the inferred, it let's out a blast of air. My cats know...

Kevin2k11, Your tank look really great. You did a real good job. Best of luck with it! Ghpr1957:)

LMOUTHBASS, Thanks for that added info on the Rams. Would just one male in a community tank be happy? Would two males? I'm not really into the breeding thing right now because of not having space for any other tanks. But maybe I'll do like you suggested and get a male & female Ram, but let them...

platytudes, It comes with an HOB filter and a heater too. Ghpr13:)

Mark, Thanks for your reply on the Ram. I'm diffenitly going to look into them for my new 75gl tank. Also, another nice thing about your artificial plants compare to my live ones, your fish don't eat the hell out of them. I have 3 Silver Dollars that are just munching away on my swords every...

Lmouthbass, I got 20 plants from AquariumPlants.com. 10 Dwarf Rosette swords and 10 Ruby Melon swords. They were excellent plants with roots like trees. There coming along nicely, but I must admit, after seeing your pictures of your tank, your artificial plants look awesome! I think you did a...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a CPO? Thanks, Ghpr1957:)

Well, everything worked out for the best. First I listed the tank and the stand separably on Craig's List. Yesterday I sold the stand for $75.00. Today I sold the tank, after scraping out the tiles, for $40.00 as a reptile tank only. I made sure the buyer knew it wouldn't hold water without...

Really awesome looking tank. Best of luck with it! I would love to have a tank that big! Ghpr1957 :)

Just took a much closer look at the tank...it would need to be resealed. There are places where something has scratched away the silicone...You all are right, it's not worth it. To many cons to proceed with it. I blew this myself by not being as cautious as I should have been. I've bought a lot...
