Ive been planning an Oscar tank for awhile, but couldnt find a good deal on a tank. Well today I decided to check out the selection at our local Petsmart and came across a gorgeous 150G oak tank and stand. They didnt have a price tag, but when I asked the manager said the tank was $250 and the stand was $150. The tank has a tiny chip in one corner, but will still hold water fine. The stand is marked off because it is for that tank. I couldnt believe the deal!
So they are holding the tank and stand until Monday when I get back from vacation. Its going to be a pain getting them home but Im sooooo excited. I havent picked out filters yet, but Im thinking about either two canister filters combined with a sponge filter, or a wet/dry combined with one canister and a sponge.
Im thinking about two, maybe three Oscars. The footprint of the tank isnt quite as much as a 125G, because its a tall tank, so I want to make sure they have room. If I get two Oscars, I might add a few friends eventually too.
Im going to get some river rocks, and driftwood for decoration. The driftwood to line the back of the tank, and the river rocks will go closer to the front. Ive seen a couple tanks where the driftwood was glued to the back, and the Oscars werent able to move it, so Im hoping I can work out the same thing.
Its all going to have to come in stages, but at least I got the project going! Id also love to hear suggestions, and advice from the many Oscar keepers I know hang around here.
