My boyfriend and I did the deed this week and scored a 55?G bowfront in AWESOME (used) condition, full-glass lid, large HOB filter, some cool decor and a hood/light & some random (probably now useless) medication/other little things. They'll need bigger someday, but I can't wait to see them rioting in their powerhead along the bowed frontglass.
Unfortunately my bf took a nice swig of the tank water while we were working (we just have 2 buckets and a siphon, and he's not as practiced, ya know?
) He thought he was DYING but it seems he's doing fine, still eating, etc... LOL. The kid's mom said she had dumped bleach in the tank "a couple of months ago" but there was some serious/mysterious algae growth when we got there. I'll post some pics once I get it set up this summer, it looks pretty shady still... I should've snapped some "before" shots. BUT IT WAS FREE!
) They all love to eat blackworms together, and wouldn't you know the (for-now) tiny lochatas are the alphas.
