Aquarium?

[LonArcvarden]

Now that we’re settled in our “forever” home (I’m never moving again), my son is after me to set up a tank. He has one but lives 10 hours away, so wouldn’t be much help other than consultation. I had several tanks years ago but not in the last 3+ decades.

An indoor hobby would be nice and I’d prefer to stay with fresh water for simplicity...if I do this. Probably 55 to 75 gallons. I’m sure the technology has advanced but wondering if anyone here has some relevant experience.

Also wondering about weight. A 75 gallon setup would be about 800 lbs. We’re on a crawl space but it would be easy to add a floor jack to ensure no settling.

At this point I could easily be talked out of it!

It will hold up easy without support. Think, a couple or full grown American men will easily wait close to 400 lbs and the weight is pin pointed with a small foot print the tank's weight is distributed over a much larger foot print.

I had a smooth experience ordering nano aquarium plants from them; the submersed-grown stock settled into my tank without the usual melt. The careful cleaning and packaging were a breath of fresh air too, since I’m picky about avoiding hitchhikers. The big range of mosses and rhizome plants made it easy to mix and match for a small scape without blowing the budget.
