EricBrian July 3, 2006 Share July 3, 2006 Ok, on my way home from seeing Lee's and Chip's GREAT tanks, I bought a 75gal tank. It is going to take a bit to get started... you know, the whole $$$ thingie. LOL But once underway, let the photo postings begin. (I know, it isn't a big tank, but it is the biggest I've ever had.)

dchild July 4, 2006 Share July 4, 2006 I rent, but I called my renters insurance (Travelers) and made sure they know I have a big tank. They didn't increase my rates, but they put a note on my file. Insurance covers the tank, stand and equipment (oh, and the water damage) but not livestock. When I had my 55 on the 4th floor, I never asked the office. I just looked and the words "fish", "aquarium" and "tank" were not in the lease. They can think of a hundred reasons to say no, but only one to say yes.

I'll call mine, too, and let them know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricBrian July 4, 2006 Author Share July 4, 2006 Congrats, Check out my pics in the gallery of my previous 75g tank! Looking forward to your first TANK TOUR! Yes, nice tank. I was going to ask Lee and Chip if I could take pics of their tanks for inspiration but didn't. I just got my car insurance bill which is due next month so the set up is going to be REAL slow. This is the one I bought: Since overflows are new to me, I'll have to learn how to set this up, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emissary July 4, 2006 Share July 4, 2006 Thanks guys! Hey, can somebody point me to an article on how to properly setup this tank with plumbing and anything else I might be forgetting. Thanks. Heh, this is a big, not very well documented, topic. Best way to learn is tank tours with lots of questions. If you wanna come to Vienna, my house is open.

Guest Ruh Roh July 5, 2006 Share July 5, 2006 Congrats Eric, I have been feeling the tinge of reefing again myself. Settled int he new house, expecting baby in 4 months but hey there is still a lot of room in the house... I'll probably be keeping my eye open for someone getting "out" of the hobby and starting up another tank. (lost most things on move and decided to take a break from it for a while.... well.. its been a while....) -James (Ruh Roh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
