The largest Sagittae from Jexnell Jexnell (Casper's babies from Wet Spot)

Hoping for it to be white but seeing a little orange in the fins. This one is the largest of the three I got. Most likely to be the Casper body double for stunt work, lol

Apparently Petco is having issues with their big tanks. Both the 90’s they got in had cracked frames. Pretty sure its transportation related. They believe it is because they are double pallet stacking on top of the 90’s.

As to the 75’s, they had a least 9. One was marked with a sign ‘reptile only’, one had an edge chip, two had crack/chip in frame corners definitely assembly related and at least four looked to have bubbles in the silicon. The one I got seems good. Seems Aqueon is pumping out crap tanks for Petco...

Anyway hate that a 90 is out but the 75 was in the original plans. Maintenance was the reason for the the shorter tank. The taller 90 would have been a pain. I already deal with three other tall tanks.

Hopefully I can get it going this weekend.

Sorry the 90 didn't work out but at least you got the tank so you can move forward

I already have my substrate for this one, Im using this:

Its a lot finer than it looks on the bag.

I have all the equipment. Aquaclear 110, Eheim 250w heater, thermometer, Beamswork EA LED light fixture.

Only thing missing is? Besides filling it up, etc... The occupant! If all goes well I might pick up the trimac from my buddy this weekend
