290G Peninsula Tank

[Myka]

I have a couple QT. My display is 90 gallon, the biggest QT is a 40B. The reasoning is sometimes I want to add more than one fish at once. Or, maybe I want to add a pair of Banggai, so I buy a group, and when a pair forms I move it to the display. Or a shoal of Yellow Tail Damsels or Anthias. I also have a 10-gallon QT for small fish (or a pair of Clowns).

I imagine you're going to have a few big fish, like Tangs maybe? They are very active of course. I would want a 48" tank as QT once some bigger fish come along. Before that, a 50-gallon would be a nice size. Fit it in somehow!

This is my long-term thinking
Where are you going to put all your fish if you need to remove them from your DT ?

My QT is a 77 gal...I can QT fish for you. I have a gorgeous Fowleri Tang for you as well.

Thank you for all the ideas. After looking back into it, you were right that it's not a 30, but just a 20 tall. I will have to see what I can come up with.

Hi Mark, Happy New Year. I hear you've been leading a crazy life. I bet your glad it's winding down now. I have a thought about your QT.

What about keeping the 70 and down the road installing a shelf above the water storage tanks and housing it there? I know it's high but you are a tall guy and the number of times a year you will be using that tank will hopefully be minimal. Anyways just a thought. Can't wait to see it again in person!

I was just in the room measuring thing out Kevin. I think above the water storage would be too tough. Keeping it where the current quarantine is might have to be the answer. Going up with that much weight and with the HVAC plumbing that is already there might be too tight to work with.

Ideas are all welcome...I will keep measuring my options versus the space.
