        I now want a bigger tank so we can get Angel fish! I always thought you could get whatever tank you wanted and put whatever fish you wanted in it. Boy am I glad Chris found this site.
        Bleeding Hearts are natural and exhibit that coloration without any human alteration. I like Bloodfins and they rarely ever get seen, though most shops carry them. I saw all of those fish up at Houston Aquatics today actually, lol.

        I to wish anything would work, but there is a fun challenge in making a tank function and work. Glad you both found it as well, we always enjoy helping out and you all will be helping with advice in no time!!!

                    • I had a quick question for whenever I do look at upgrading. Glass or Acrylic? I know of the price different and the weight different but not sure about the rest.

                      • glass = easier to clean since it's not so easy to scratch
                        acrylic = gotta be careful when cleaning to keep from scratching
                        glass = once scratched not easily removed
                        acrylic = able to buff out scratches

                        pretty much it.

                          Wait there is more.

                          acrylic = a better insulator
                          acrylic = lighter material, therefore easier to move a tank of the same volume.
                          acrylic = better optically (or course you could go with low iron glass for less distorted color, but then its more expensive and scratches easier than regular glass

                          acrylic = can thermo form it into more unusual shapes more easily
                          acrylic = can bond one sheet to another forming huge panes.

                          All that being said I would only ever buy a glass tank as I would have the acrylic one scratched up the first day I had it.
                          While I'm not reef ready, I am salt ernate lifestyle curious...

                          • the lighter aspect was noted by the op.

                            glass = glares when taking pictures
                            acrylic = easier to manipulate when taking pictures
