So I get a text from my gf at 730am(mind you I went to bed at 5am) and she asks me if a FREE 75g with stand would be a good deal(jokingly), of course I say that would be awesome. Turns out on of her friends at work overheard her talking to someone else about the guy selling the 72 out from under me and tells my gf she has a 75 sitting in her garage that she can have for free!!! So it looks like I get to have another go at this after all.
She told my gf that the tank is a 75 long, thats its 5 1/2 feet long and she use to keep gold fish in it. So either tank is a custom one, she is off on the length, or its a bigger tank then she says it is. Either way Im excited.
Im thinking of putting my Marineland 220(220gph) canister and a AC 110 on it. Figure that should be good for around 700gph, which should be more then enough filtration for a none puffer tank. Going to put pool filter sand, not sure what she wants for decorations though.

lol, thats funny!sevenyearnight wrote:I can say that my bichir would sniff out a new addition, it gets placed into 1 of 3 categories:
1) Delicious and fits in mouth, could be active or stationary. (Worms, small fish, fish food pellets)
2) Not Delicious, does not move (Rocks, vegetables, plants)
3) Delicious, moves around, but does not fit into mouth (Large non-aggresive fish, large snails)
Never trust big puffers. The fingers you save may be your own. -RTR
