Hello, I've recently come across a 90 gallon w/ a corner overflow. The outflow is drilled on the bottom of the overflow and drains directly into a sump. I know I can physically remove the overflow. That won't be too hard, especially w silicone remover. My question is about the safety and...

Yeah I did. Incidentally: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans

Oh yes, I know that's why additional bracing is in order. I've been getting tips in other forums that the glass used to support standard tanks is not THICK enough to support the water if you just take off the rim. I'm trying to figure out now if it is possible replace the frame with euro racing...

I've recently come across a 90 gallon tank. It's great, but it has that ugly wood trim. I'm wondering, has anyone ever taken the frame off a standard tank to convert it into a rimless? Please keep reading, I posted this somewhere else and people seem to stop reading at this point and reply "no...

. The length is always the most important aspect. While you can have a 4 foot 20 gallon tank if it were short and shallow, it doesn't take rocket science to know that the shallowness makes it inappropriate for fish Uh, I know, that's why I made that comment. To demonstrate by example how you...

Thanks for the reply. However, I'd still like to know WHY discus need a four foot tank. Does anyone know? And also, you could have a four foot tank that was 20 gallons, if it were short and shallow.

Also, another discus question... (which I may post in a seperate thread)... Is the minimum tank size requirement for discus about water quality, or space? I live in an apt and really don't want a 48" tank. So I was thinking a school of 6 in a 55 g with a 15 g sump. Would that work? I'm well...

Been searching the forums. I see a lot claiming that juveniles must be kept bb, but no reason why. Thanks

Hello, I did a search first, but wanted to ask: how big of a difference is there between low iron starfire glass and standard plate? Is the difference, "oh dear god, how did I ever survive without the uncompromising clarity of this glass? I now see my fish and plants as never before!" Or is...

Rimless with star fire glass, absolutely could be that much $$$$.

You'll be hearing from my lawyer!

Just a wild, careless question here from a non-engineer... Has anyone ever heard of or seen an aquarium that can be assembled in pieces by one or two people, and then disassembled if it ever needs to be moved? As everyone here knows, anything over 30 gallons is heavy and unwieldy, too much for...

Two tank, Thank you for all that great info. I feel very stupid... But I can't seem to figure out how to pm you. Maybe I don't have enough privileges yet? Sylvester

That is interesting. So am I. Would you mind telling me the name of the store?

Regardless thanks for the info.

If by lfs you mean local fish stores, I've seen none. I would want to purchase from a breeder anyhow. I spoke with one breeder and she claims Columbia strictly regulates the number of altum exports each year. Although I wouldn't be surprised if theres poaching that's happening too. Alex

Yes I've seen that tank, as I'm sure a lot of people have. Do you think you could point me in the direction of where you heard this? Thanks.

Hello, First post here but I'm actually quite experienced, believe it or not. I am considering getting Altums, but have been a little concerned about the lack and inconsistency of info in the species. I've looked around on the web and there seems to be a lot of varying information on altums...
