My tanks

New tank is set up (fish were moved after this photo) my new 55g, fish from my 46g moved to this. Maybe not a huge volume upgrade but definitely a bigger footprint!
However learned the center brace is cracked, so I had to drain it down past half so I can repair it (will be doing a brace with glass and sealant)

Lol and I thought you wrote the other day your husband was against another tank?
Hes against an *additional* tank.

I had the pond fish in a tote pond, thats been scrapped. Same number of tanks, just an upgrade.

I tweaked a couple "plants" in the 46. The goldfish and livebearers are really liking the space. And its so nice to see them through glass. Water is cloudy from the Seachem Equilibrium (I have soft water, so my livebearers need the GH boost)
Stock:
1 lionchu goldfish
1 baby common goldfish (will move to a pond when we move)
2 mollies
3 guppies
4 platies
Some mystery snails
Breeder box is for my floating plants for nitrate control.

I'm surprisingly happy with this despite my dislike of fake plants. If the snails didn't eat everything, I'd have tried some anubias but alas lol

This is what they had before

And the broken brace on the new 55. Started bowing on me when I filled it up so had to drain it enough to get it fixed.

Took a glass panel from an old light i scrapped. Its crude but it'll hold. Aquarium silicone on both ends and along the broken brace piece to hold it all tight. Lack a saw able to cut glass, so that back edge sticks out at the rear.
I'll keep an eye out for a replacement frame altogether, but for now this will manage just fine.

So further update on the new 55.

The support bar didn't hold. It snapped at a weak point when I filled it up the 2nd time.

Had to clean off all the silicone, removed the glass panel, cut my thumb bad in the process, but applied a new piece of glass and all of the silicone I had left, let it sit for 2 days, refilled her up tonight and got a few more plants.
