Hard to drive a cat:bicycle: Where would you put the turbos?...It's equally difficult to throw a fish tank around a road course.

Larry, what size? We have a 55 gallon fresh water tank and love it. Lots easier to maintane than a smaller tank. We're also building a 550 gallon outdoor pond. :)

Oh,,, it's the new tank in the background with all the pvc inside. The cat, well it's already turbocharged.

It's a glass 50 gallon bowfront that will be a reef tank. We have outgrown the 12 gallon models that are hard to maintain. Once it cycles we will transfer everything we have in the two 12 gallon tanks into it and it's off to e-bay for the nano-cubes.

Since we're posting at the same time I won't edit my last post.

You should definetely look into getting a Black Ghost Knife Fish. They grow to about 12-18" in length and are stealthy looking. They eat regular stuff like blood worms too.

That's a huge pond! Susan has a 35 gallon fish pond that turned into a racoon feeder two weeks ago.

I want one of these again. We had one in our 12 gallon tank but it vanished while out of town last year

Nice. My wife is trying to get me to upgrade our reef tank too. we started with a 20 gal tank, and have since dropped about 2500 in reef in it. Ouch. time to swap it all out. Some of our corals came with some impressive preditors on it. Im shocked how many snails and starfish have disappeared in my tank.

That's nice Larry. I have a 75 gallon tank that my Dad and I are currently designing a cabinet and head for. I'll be doing African Cichlids in it. Salt water is just too expensive for me. Right now I have a 10 gallon that I am increasingly getting tired of. Too much maintainance on those little tanks.

I've had 2 salt tanks, a 75gal shared with a good buddy when I lived on the beach, and I had a 65 when I bought my house, it started leaking, right now I have a kid friendly 20 gal it my 7.5 year old daughters, I love salt,
my G/F has a 5 ft round tube tank at her work, it's huge it probably 5' tall its cool,

They ARE pretty tasty. But they'll make your tongue blue.

Speaking of blue... What color does a Smurf turn when you choke it?

We had a fish disappear while we were on one of our out of town weekends. We were gone a couple of weeks in a row. One died while one of our two house sitters fished it out. We figured it out later, but never had the heart to corner our house sitters. We figured our sitter had to live with the grief so we didn't press it.

Before we figured it out we put posters up around the neighborhood. Nobody called to let us know they saw Fluffy. :)

For a while we had something vanish every time we went out of town. On our honeymoon we lost our pepermint and a cleaner shrimp. I replaced them with another cleaner and a fire and the fire shrimp vanished after just a few days. It seams like the more expensive something is the faster it dies.

Do you trust the person watching you place? Seems "fishy".

Larry is that a pool table the cat is sitting on? That would make me REAL nervous right next to the fish tanks...draw back hard on the stick to shoot and "crack"

Yeah, it's a pool table. I don't get to play often so, when we do I will throw a blanket and and a piece of wood or something in front of it. We just can't find another place to put it.

8 ball in the corner tank!

That's very cool... I love bowfront tanks. It's going to be very nice. That's one of the reasons my camaro isn't on the road as well. I spent a huge amount of money on a 90 gallon reef tank, finally had to tear it down as it was just getting too expensive, and I wanted to get the camaro on the road. After I tore it down the other 1307 reasons caught up with me, though.... Cool hobby, amazing how many people are into both cars and fish. I'm setting up another tank, but not until I have some concrete progress on the camaro. I've got an extensive photobucket album on the reef tank here (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v59/mmorrison/Reef%20Tank/)
