Re: Future GSP setup!
What's the name?
If you guys have renters insurance, you should be ok. If not, it's important, a lot of places will require that if you have an aquarium or five.

Re: Future GSP setup!
Good luck, hope you can do it. Let us know what it says
I love my apt complex, they asked if I had pets. I told them I had fish and they said that didnt count to them, so I can have as many as big as I want *insert evil laugh*
My old apt was 40g was the biggest, I had a 110, 55, 10,5 running lol

Re: Future GSP setup!
I think for a stand, it would be stronger and loads cheaper if you made one. Lots of tutorials on line. I personally like the one made with cinder blocks. It looks better than it sounds.

You can paint the cinder block any color you want and customize it a lot

We do have renter's insurance (it was required) but I think I need to call and add water damage to it...that was one thing we didn't have when we moved. I was thinking naming him "Yoshi"....pretty set on that, but we will see.
Also for the stand.....I wouldn't mind cinder blocks, BUT I have to talk it over with Denzil.
Gotta go to class, so I will let you know when I get back!

Re: Future GSP setup!
I'm pretty sure that tank does hold 46 g, you have to take in consideration that it's not all one depth straight across. But that's still a great tank.

Oh damn = / I just did the inches all timesd together and divided by 231 but your right, I didn't think about it = /
But I am only loosing a gallon (I think) if I go that route because a 40 breeder is about 47 gallons. But with the expenses, I get both hoods, the stand and the tank for about $350. Didn't seem too bad to me, but then again, I am still new to this. I can not wait!
What did you think of the name "Yoshi?" The bf likes it, and so do I but I am still not sure. I like to see my puffs before I name them.
