Wow. A pair of leopoldi sting rays would look nice in there.

You did test it for leaks outside, right Jimmy? :becky:

I think you could try the fronts and the petros in there - plus jump and for underwater photography.

lol for now there are 6 1 inch day glow vics going in there !
I'm not sure if its a custom tank or not . It's a steel frame with plexiglass side's . I got it for free on criags list , it was in a building somebody was demoing and they didn't want to toss it in the trash . Being helpful I said I would come and get it !! :becky:
I have a Fluval Fx5 I'm going to use for the filter . I just have to go out and find some river stone, buy a few bags of sand and some fake plants .:hat:

Nice tank
You should hook up with Steve (valley Aquatics) or Chip (BlueChip Aquatics)
and get some of those nice Petros. They would love that tank.....

That's what I said, Jimmy. Are you going to chrome (spray painted) the steel frame and go retro. That would make it a heck of show tank (no matter what the sides are made off)
