Hi. I'm new to the forum but not new to fish keeping. I had a 125 gallon reef tank over 25 years ago. The sump was a 55 gallon tank. Homebrewed mostly by a friend of mine.
After I learned how hard a reef was, the same tank housed a very large Oscar and a few communities throughout the years. It currently houses (2) 7 inch long red finned tin foil barbs, (4) 3-4 inch silver dollars, (2) Leporinus (4" & 5"), (1) 4" common pleco, (1) 4" pictus cat, and (5) 2" giant danios. A 4" giant danio recently died. With the exception of the pleco and danios most of the fish are >5 years old. They were all "adopted" from people with smaller tanks. Filtration is an Emperor 400 HOB and a Sunsun canister that replaced another Emperor 400.
I am considering adding more giant danios. I think 3 more or so would make a lively school. I hesitate though because the tank is doing so well. I'm afraid of pushing my luck.
I don't have any questions but I've been reading the forum for a while so I thought it was time to introduce myself. Hello.
