  • School tanks

    First order of business.... my 75, after I scraped for an hour (the bunny is outside in the cage...prolly bring her inside at night...too many stray animals) I noticed pin holes in the inside..like chips.  I can feel them on the inside.  Can I fill these or is the tank destined for a lizard tank or a bunny tank?
    Secondly...going to try to post the pics of my school tanks.  Sorry for the blurry pics.

      Re: School tanks

      What does the sign say ?  I can read "please dont feed them" but the rest ?
      I love the tanks :)

      The 75G am sure is fine.  Those tanks are heavy duty and it just sounds like to me you have scratches in the glass from previous owners banging nets into the sides of them.  The tank is fine.
      Mike said those tanks had water in them 2 days before he picked them up so they are all good.

      Call Mike I am sure that he will tell you the same :)
      Keep smiling :)

        Re: School tanks

        The sign says something like "The fish are on a schedule - Please do not feed!" or something like that.  I had a sub one day and she dumped half a can of food in the tank and the kids went balistic.  She wrote up several kids for disruptive behavior and defiance lol.

          OUCH....

          One of the things you can put on the signs are "Fish are to be fed only a pinch of food each tank"  "If you don't want to touch the food then don't feed them at all"

            Lol I thought I was being polite
            The fish did fine though...the big ones can really eat.  When I came back in the afternoon, the tank was clean...*shrugs*  
            So you think the little chips on the inside will be okay?  Mike? Should I seal them?

                      not at all....the seals look great (corners/edges)
                      The rabbit didn't really chew on anything except the wood I put in the tank and the cords in the classroom lol
                      So far so good....up on two bricks for each corner and level and about 15-20 gallons of water sitting in it.

                          I took a huge leap of faith.... The 75 has it's magnum running, everything is settling and only had a hose pop off twice lmao.  After sucking the water up with the steam cleaner twice lol... we shall see.  Keep your fingers crossed.

                            Reba - Give me a little time to get the project in the garage cleaned out and we will look at getting you a stand put together.
                            I should be up at Mike's Saturday afternoon to bug him :)

                              oh....do not put my stand in the priority file.... RIght now I just need to make sure it is going to work (the tank AND the floor lol).  
                              Right now it is propped about 5" off the floor.  Let me see how that goes for a little while.  Thanks for keeping me in mind though.  Maybe I'll see you Saturday.  I think I am going to take my oscars over to Mike :-)
