Please expand on this...I would like to learn more about your concerns for their compatibility. Thanks!

Okay guys, big update!! I went to the fish swap here in Davenport, Iowa, yesterday. I went in search of discus and clown loaches. Even though we got there right when it opened, we missed out on the clown loaches BUT we found some great discus and that steered my decision to go with a discus...

Got some nice growth. Looking good!

Great job!! Interesting plants in the foreground on the left that look like some type of lily. What is that?

Thanks! Will try to post some updates once the plants grow in a little

I don’t think you’re just unlucky. I have heard of aqueon tanks busting on people. Hopefully they found out the problem and have changed the way they design their tanks. Honestly, I am not sure what to think. It hasnt stopped me from filling it up and they didn’t seem too concerned after...

So I ordered my aquarium through my LFS but I looked up on planets website which stores near me that were able to do that. It’s nice because you don’t pay for shipping but you’ll have to go pick it up yourself. I know they make a tank in the dimensions that you mentioned and it’s not considered...

That will be one nice upgrade! I thought about going with that size but I didn’t want it to stick too far out into the room where I currently live. 8x3 feet is quite the footprint. Have you looked into where you will order from? I know PlanetAquariums also makes that size where I ordered mine. I...

I added around 40ish live plants from MarcusFishTanks. Mostly epiphtyes, some crypts and swords. I’m on the fence about going with loaches in the 310 now due to the thought of the plants eventually getting destroyed. My thoughts are to start up the 90 gallon and making that a loach/barb tank...

Good looking tank! Looks like that light is working well for you. Any CO2 or ferts for plant growth?

Thanks for sharing that. Any live plants that have survived? I’d imagine your clowns are a good 10-12 inches now...I’m curious, what size were they when you noticed them taking apart the plants? Maybe I can enjoy the plants for a little bit before they grow up

Yeah i think they said when they are around 6 inches is when they noticed them doing that. They don't eat the plants but like to punch wholes in them. What stock do you have that gets along with your tiger barbs?

Yeah i figured this thing probably won’t get water logged without weight. I had two large rocks sitting on top of it but it got me concerned that if it tipped, the rocks would hit the glass. It floats but doesn’t move at all because it is the width of the tank. I like it floating for now...we...

The tank has cleared up a lot in a day with just a couple big bags of activated carbon. I have decided to cycle the tank with fish. Any suggestions will be appreciated as this is my first time. I am closet monitoring the levels...I don’t know how many fish it will take to put enough ammonia...

So there were a couple things to take care of before filling the aquarium. I had a truss engineer check the flooring and we ended up putting some extra support below the front end of the aquarium. Plumbing...well I hate plumbing and there are some things I’d do differently but this is how it...

They weren’t easy to find. One I have had from my previous 140 gallon from about 4 years ago. I’ve hung onto it since then. The other pieces I acquired from a guy I found on marketplace in Illinois. I made a trip out of it and picked it up. And the tank I think weighs 500-600 lbs. it wasn’t...

Haha yeah almost (25”). I have a step stool and I’ll get the extra long python siphons...I think there’s a 3 foot one so I don’t have to dip my whole arm into the tank but I can reach the bottom if I need to. For lighting I just have four 48” classic LEDs. They’re super affordable and will do...

The egg crate is for when I add large stones/rocks. I have this fear that I'll drop one and it'll be all over. So mostly peace of mind but I also like to cut some and stack together so I can place pieces higher if needed...then they won't eventually sink down into my substrate. As far as...

Thanks!! Awesome! great suggestions. And what are you thinking of upgrading to? Great question. I have gone back and forth and love the idea of both. Although I'm not going for a monster fish tank look, I know these clown loaches will eventually get big. I enjoy scaping the tank but that can...

Updated hardscape with just the DW
