My cheap 125

I pulled my 125 out of a dumpster...

It’s just glass and silicone. If it isn’t broke then there’s nothing wrong with that.

Score! The best part is the fact it was placed gently enough......in a dumpster.

Yep! Especially since... Well, you saw the other one.

Good point. I worked a job where we got to throw away old electronics into a dumpster and it was fun to throw them as hard as possible. A giant glass aquarium wouldn’t have stood a chance.

I guess a dumpster was the commonality with both of them

It’s just a difference in the order of when they were in the dumpster.

Exactly!

The real question is...had you not found one in the dumpster...would one have not ended up in the dumpster. Hmmm

Technically I didn't find it - my coworker found it, called me, helped me pull it out, stashed it at his house for a week, and helped me load it into my truck to take home. It also came with a Fluval canister that I rebuilt and is currently in use on my 110 for close to 10 years now.

72” wide, 18” deep, and 21” tall. It’s the basic rimmed 125g tank.

Could I have a hippo tang in a tank that big?

Could I have a hippo tang in a tank that big?

One would do fine for a while but would eventually need a bigger tank IMO. However there are plenty of differing opinions on tank sizes for tangs and I lean more towards the needing more space side of that argument.

I am sure there are plenty of people that keep them in that size tank or smaller.

I have considered getting one but don’t want to hassle with trying to find someone to take it when it eventually gets too big.

What about a powder blue tang?

Probably fine depending on the stock list
