Well I am picking up my new 90 gallon tank this weekend.

So..
what should I put in it  

[Aiglos]

Art: your the man.  

No matter what we say though you will just end up putting in Malawi cichlids so why bother

[Shouganai]

Not africans!

[artw]

I am actually resisting that, contradictory to my signature line.  I am barely making room for this tank as it is.   I was thinking of doing something rainbowfish ish or tigerbarb tetra type-ish.

Art: Be a man....   LIVEBEARERS

Well from your info below your avatar, I suggest you put yourself in it.

Something I want to do is have a tank that size nearly choked with plants, a bunch of tetras, and a few small bottom dwellers. Corys are my favourite.

[Shouganai]

A 90 gallon could hold some pretty cool herps you know..

[BigDaddy]

You already know what my answer is going to be Art...

[artw]

I considered that too Sean.  Funny thing,  there is an auction on the 30th.. and there is usually apistos..

[Seanc]

both sean's want you to get apistos, SA/CA cichlids ROCK!!!

Art, don't get up, stay in bed, you are still sick and your therapy is not done yet. It's too early for you to make an important decision like this. When I'll think you are ready, I'll send you to Guelph to pick up some featherfins. :roll:

What ever happened to a nice, plain ol' community tank. Cories, neons, clowns, rainbows...

Boy! Now you need a bodyguard to rescue you from all those kwak doctors!

Dear Artibartfast, I am aghast and bewildered, it is incredible that you have ventured out over the edge to get your feet wet.

Bravo, well done, and a 90 to boot, I do hope you throw caution to the wind and consider the greater possibilities, should you remain open-minded and adventurous.

You could even consider plants amongst your list of new attempts, I wonder what you'll do, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, a south american dwarf array may be the thing to make you more normal. :wink:

Good luck with this endeavour, and do keep us all apprised of your progress, pictures would be welcome, and of course, we would all, I'm fairly certain, provide you with a plethora of advice and countless hours of help should you falter along the way. :shock:

I am jumping in with both feet as they say.  now I need to find a python,  the tank filling kind Shouganai,  and obtain myself some preseasoned dirty scuzzy filter media from some unsuspecting soul to cycle my Fluval something or other filter.   As for fish I'll probably see what there is for pickings in Montreal.  I am sure she will be cycled by that time.

now is it 1 drop for KH and 2 drops for GH?  mutliplied by 18.3 to get german degrees or PPM?  So much to remember.

[az]

how about going salt water?

[artw]

that's not a bad idea

[RoxyDog]

make a python!

I don't know how much media you need to start, but I have an extra fluval 204 sponge in my 404 that you're welcome to.  I'm sure it's nice and dirty.  

[Seanc]

soooo what have you decided?
