picked up a 125 aquarium, stand and everything yesterday. Came with about 60 Kribensis cichlids, 3 cory cats, pictus cat fish and 2 plecos. Also have lots of live plants, decorations… Will post pics later when I finish getting it setup. ---

That helped save alot of weight right there, trust me lol To be honest I’m not exactly sure what it weights. I know with the gravel in it my friend and I could barely carry out to the truck and neither of us are scrawny. It’s a nice tank but I’m happiest about getting all the driftwood with plants grown on it. ---

It’s a nice tank but I’m happiest about getting all the driftwood with plants grown on it. I can tell by the pics its a 1/2" thick tank. Tank is light lol mine is 3/4". Me and my dad could barely move it…and my dad is a pretty big dude. We had to push it up the stairs. ---

WOW. I’d love to have a tank like that some day. The smaller tanks are nice too, but it’s hard to beat a bathtub sized one. ---

The smaller tanks are nice too, but it’s hard to beat a bathtub sized one. If you can find the room for the larger tanks thats the way to go in my opinion. I paid 400 for this setup and that is a very good deal, but you can normally find something similar for not too much more. It’s actually easier to take care of too. ---

Yea, I read that if its a larger tank the changes occur slower and are easier to catch and reverse before harming fish or plants. I’d like a large(120+ gal size) bow salt water tank at some point, but that’s a few grand. I love sitting in front of those big tanks and watching the fish. ---

Yes salt water is big money and much higher maintenance. I would like to do a saltwater tank someday though. ---
