Well I could do that but the bigger tank that I can get when I need is really blan. I like my tank now. I guess I can try find a nicer, bigger tank but then I'll for sure be spending double the price of what I can get that 155G for. errmm Decisions.. BOOO! Take pleck out, end of discussion :D He can go back to the 10 gallon tank with 5 feeders and 2 crayfish and 2 mystery snails. LoL **Choke**, **Cough** & **Die** (Have to keep it stocked in case I leave to work for a few weeks)... Roommates are hard to rely on!

LOL Well to tell you the truth I found a tank thats MUCH nicer than the one I had on stand-by. Within the next month and a half-2 I'm gonna throw mine into craigslist and kijiji. Found a 150 gallon round cornered 4 light molded top with solid wood cabinets all jet black. Really nice tank for a grand but then I gotta buy a FX5 for it. Not too keen on Ehiems 4 buckle system. So yeaa =)

Please SPEAK! =) LoL!!

Seriously, people around here don't think its funny to even joke about doing things like that to fish, even a pleco.

Its not the pleco's fault, its the person who bought it without doing their research's fault. Take it back to the store, don't put it in a 10 gallon tank where it will pollute the water (yes, even when its just a little thing) and sit and suffer along with all the other fish crammed in there.

Sorry I thought this whole thing was a joke :redface: . I thought the joke was that he wasn't actually going to put it in there. I think I have confused myself a bit, but if you are thinking about putting it in there, then take myaj's advice, and don't actually do it. Sorry again for joking around here, I got the wrong end of the stick.

Is this 150 gallon an Odyssea? If it is I would highly reccomend that you don't get it. I had a 160 gallon Odyssea and after a year it broke. I purchased it new.

Here is the link that shows my tank set up and if you scroll down the crack in the curved corner.

I don't think it is but I'm not sure. This tank has rounded corners, one piece side and front then it connects in the back. Im not even sure if its glass that part. Probably Plexiglas. But that would suck! It's terrifying just thinking about it never mind seeing it in a picture :S!
