Dad's 85 Gal Bare Bottom Tank

[Ryan925]

Whoa. Need to up my WCs then. How does 50% every other day sound?

Remind me how much are you doing now, stock level, feeding?

30% every other day. 85 Gallons with 8 4" discus. It's only the 6th day I've had them. Fed 10-15 pcs of pellets but they are not so interested to eat yet so I siphon off the uneaten bits after a day.

Phil you must be superman! Lifting the tank and sliding something under? Dude I'm calling you next time I need to move some furniture around

Womp womp ....

Cmon class clowns. Isn't there access under that stand? Crawl your booty under there and get to taping.

About the only thing I lift is IPA to lips and even I figured that one out

Dude is this a hover tank? I need one Mcfly. The tank bottom doesn't sit on the stand? Philipe you are so futuristic

OP yes change more water. Lots more water. 50% per day if not more. In six months you'll be happy you did when those babies are big and round

Mine is a POS from pet smart. Sits on a flat piece of mdf. My stand build will also have a solid top but a solid top is not required for glass. Acrylic required a solid base since there is no rim

I was just hoping to see a YouTube video of you going Heman and lifting your tank up with one hand and sliding something under with the other!

[Phillydubs]

Lolol you cray....

I'll take a pic under mine tomorrow for you smartass! Lol

I want to see a pic of you lifting the stand while taking a photo at the same time ?

[Phillydubs]

You've seen my pic skills. Now you want me to preform physical labor and take pics.

I'm Getting you this off your Amazon wish list...

Lol! You two are entertaining!
Don't mind the boys...but do change more water please. Also would siphon uneaten food about after 1/2 hour for the clean water you are driving for. You will get a nice routine going and have big healthy fish very soon. ��

I am always up for a challenge!!! I lifted my tank, full of water and painted the bottom!!! You guys are WEAK!!!

Here she is all painted... Oh and point proven, beyond popular belief (or just Ryan's) not all tanks sit fully on something... As I stated, center bar and a lip, very easy to tape some paper on the under side and VIOLA! See, sometimes my 3rd grade mentality pays off...
