Okay well updates:

The filters (2260 and wet/dry are in the process of being cleaned). Holes will be drilled/cut in the stand as soon as I determine where to put them. On a sideways update I moved my Fahaka to his new 150 gallon Palace and im in the process of cleaning and breaking down my 72 gallon now.

More updates to come.

How's the puffer liking his new home?

[barrettsline]

He's sulking it up pretty good right now but I think he's starting to come around. He was made in the bag and pretty much bit his way almost through it. So I had to release him into the new tank about 15 minutes faster than I wanted to. I'll know by tomorrow though.

He's probably mad at you for taking so long to give him his new home!

I'm sure he'll be fine tomorrow, but let us know how he's doing.

[barrettsline]

Probably. I have to find some companions for him (plecos to be exact) my kids ate worried about him being lonely. If its not one thing its another. Lol!

maybe instead of that you should have an arowana colony of like 4 swimming all together.

I'd love to do Arowanas again but that will have to wait until I order a 500+ gallon. For now the cichlids will do, but it's definitely something I have thought of.

Finished my 72 gallon re-build last night at around 9. Started at 5:30 and completely removed and cleaned everything, even sand!

Still a little cloudy from filling it when I took the picture. A better one will be taken tonight, If time permits. I think the Tropheus i'm getting will enjoy it.
