Tank Description: It's a glass 30 x 22 x 12 37 Gallon Marineland Tank. It's the biggest I can realistically fit into my Manhattan 6 floor walk up. It's tall dimension makes it seem bigger, though. I use a Tetra Whisper 45 that's nice & quiet since the tank is at the foot of my bed. All natural drift, plants, & rock, except for the vine ornament that has a hose fed into the bottom so it erupts bubbles every couple minutes. I put a real seashell on the top that fits into the hole & moves up & down like a hatch. I do have another ornament. The skull, which also burps a bubble every few minutes. A bubble wall along the entire back wall also helps keep it aerated. The fish chew through the real plants but I keep planting more & trimming the old. The tank is only a couple months old. Started it in July after a ten gallon hex & a small 3 gallon. I don't remember the brand of the hex but I found it at Petland & I hadn't seen it anywhere else or since, except there. It's a glass hex 18 inches tall with 7 inch panes that make it 13 inches wide. It also has a skull - this one more open so I can see them play in there but everything else is natural: drift & plants. I've been experimenting with different colorful rocks. The hex is mainly my Kuhli tank. They frolick in the flexible bubble wall that wraps around 3 panes. Plus a transparent knife, glass, farwella, hoplo cats, & lots of tinys - tetras, danios, & flying fox. And a butterfly & horse face loaches. The big tank is ruled by the 2 angels. I have dojo loach, spiny eel, raphael cat, dolphin loach, a bigger farwella cat, African butterfly, clown knife, & a goldfish that refused to die like all the other fish when I was first setting up my little 3 gallon. The angels survived from then as well. That was the beginning of June & it's kind of become a hobby since.
