ok, i need your guys most valued opinion! i finally found a tank i think would be perfect for my fowler set up. whats your thoughts? its an acrylic 100 gallon. the guy guesses it to be around 5 yrs old.

I think it would be perfect unless you are planning a shark and stingray tank. Lion fish, banana eel, porcupine fish, oh my!

Hello everyone!

I had to cook for my self today, grilled steak and home fries, I hope I did you proud Joel. I know it’s not Taco Bell Luis.

Looks amazing to me Kev!

Thanks! I'm up and running around. Minor headache from pressure but doing decent. Did some tank maintenance this morning, took a shower, and now we're at Culver's for lunch. Had me a Mushroom and Swiss burger with horseradish and a root beer. Now my daughter is ordering me a chocolate, caramel, pecan scoop with marshmallow cream on top.

Just reading that made ME feel better!
Get better Tim!

No. Good reef tank but for FOWLR you should do longer swim tanks I'd say.

acceptable amount of scratches, or buff and polish before setting up if they are not deep.
good seams are hard to describe but if its held this long, i wouldnt worry about that like you would glass.
look for crazing on the acrylic, lots of threads on here if you search acrylic crazing.
i have had several acrylic aquaiums and prefer them over glass, they will scratch SUPER easy, so i dont leave a magnet cleaner in tank ever, change acrylic scraper blades, never get close to sand with cleaning tools.
I also avoid urchins, they will drag things across it.... one drug something 8 feet across my old tank.

is there a spell check on here? sheesh. just read my last post.

yeah, why did they start calling them yellow coris? guess i should just say yellow wrasse.

Ya that’s someone’s pet peeve on the forum, I think it’s I can’t think, he is very knowledgeable about wrasses.
