I'm in the middle of an emergency tank reparation, so I had to move all my fish to a single 50 gl. tank:

1 goldfish
1 koi
2 rays
1 clown knife
9 gouramies
2 angelfish
2 (small) bichirs
1 Wonder Woman's Jet snail (he becomes invisible at times, believe me)

Small pleco and 3 cories are at the 10gl. hospital tank to avoid becoming the knife's snaks. I'm changing the water 50% daily to avoid any ammonia spike.

The thing is that fish are like bumping a lot among them, but the tank looks great. I believe that's the reason a lot of people overstock their tanks.

Just a share. I will get some pics and share them too.
 
I got two pics. None of them really show how spectacular the tank's looks are.

Thanks. Thet's the tank I'm currently repairing.
 
Awesome tank I wish I could do something like that!! I love the Stingray tank. Did you make that yourself?
 
oh dear... what happend?
 
I'm sorry to hear about your tank. So are you fixing the L- Tank yourself? I'd love to know how a tank of that dimention is moved around. Very carefully, I imagine.
 
My tanks is already fixed, I see no sign of leaks and is right now under a leak test for 24 more hours.

Chefkeith, it's really hard to move. I assembled using a friends help directly on the stand, so no moving should be necesary. However, before filling it for the first time I needed to a styrofoam layer under the tank. I needed the help of 3 neighbours to lift it while I was setting the foam underneath. According to this material weight calculator the tank (glass only) weighs 223 pounds, but I certainly believe it's heavier.
