Joshlikesfish Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hey everyone I just inherited a 90cm tall 40cm wide hexy tank. What should I put in it? I was thinking I could use it as a grow out, but I realised I cant even touch the bottom of it with my hand. I have no clue as to what to do with it. If it was going to be a display tank, what would I display? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 i used to have a cool fresh water coral looking set up in mine with bubbles coming out of it. angles would look cool. or barbs. or turn it into a tererium and keep frogs :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell it. poor shape I'd sell it, ew hexi tanks Don't sell gifted stuff Hey also gave me a 75L21W39H tank In the past he'd given my a 63L30W39, 63L20W39H and a another small one Odd shaped tanks are hard to work with, but are nice none the less I'm thinking frogs? Not much I can grow because I don't want to go all out on filtration. Was even thinking about making it a water storage tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yeah, but I thought frogs first Those kids that were around when you were here turned up again. They put it on their head and started spraying it with the hose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBen Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Fair enough! Don't frogs need a wet and dry area? Kinda gonna be restricted for that with a tall tank, frogs would be better off with a long wouldn't they? Try dwarf puffers :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Frogs would be cool! Or, something like this: http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/imag ... fdc395.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 The wet/dry area would be satisfied by having a huge log sort of thing. The lights for a 3ft deep tank will be a bit crazy so planted isn't really and option :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 It's not a gift if if you don't really want it... .... as far as I know you aren't rolling in cash and someone has to keep all these critters alive somehow. Maybe there is some way you can politely decline or sell them on TM to fund your other projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is some way you can politely decline or sell them on TM to fund your other projects.I have the space ATM and I have a lot of brine shrimp flakes (180g for $18). I have some other odd size tanks that I might trade for bits and pieces. Really need food and heaters(and cash :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
