I'm writing a journal about my newest aquarium- a 3ft long 39 gallon brought from a LFS and I can't wait to make it a good home for my remaining silvertip tetras. They have been in the old 10 gallon tall for nearly two years, so I am yet to put them in the 39 gallon once it's cycled and properly made. It's been nearly two years since I've been wanting to upgrade it, so I want to give them a bigger home than the last tank.

Day after high school graduation. I had purchased the 91 x 35.5 x 46cm aquarium which came with wide lid holders, with the pieces of glass cut to size for putting on the lid together. It can just fit the Tidal 55 filter on the side of the tank. There were no tanks of the Petworx brand (except nano series and Starfire glass) without the holders, so I went on with it. It cost $435 for the tank itself. A few days after we put the sand and some of the water in, it didn't leak. We also brought a DolPhin heater from the LFS, hopefully it works... The lid holders are a problem however. The water coming out of the HOB would flow into the lid part and spill, so I have to be careful about that.

Brought some hardscape today: some riverstones and a piece of spiderwood that would bring it together. But I would boil the wood to rid of excess tannins and to sterilise it, then waterlog it for a week or two to put it in the aquarium. Then I would put some plants in the tank and cycle it before moving or putting fish in the tank. Thinking of a nice river landscape on the aquarium, it would take a while to make it right.
