I did my 220 gallon just like you did. And yes it is a long process. But with time and patience it's well worth it. You did a great job!!!

How is it holding up? Doing a reseal on my 220 gallon now. Had a small pin hole leak on the bottom. Real nervous about long term durability if I don't fully disassemble the glass but it's just too big so I'm doing the bottom and all 4 corners of silicone but leaving the panel joints alone.

@@razinfishes1918 Fantastic! That makes me less nervous about mine. So many people saying they had issues and it isn't worth it. I just bought the tank last month, and paying $3K+ for another isn't possible for me, so I'm going to give it a shot.

@@jamesmakesvideos don't be nervous just take your time and get all the old silicone off. Buy a box of razor blades and change often the sharper the blade the better it comes off

Excellent video! I would put the mbuna in the 90 gallon tank where you originally planned for them to go, then you can put the little picked on one back in with them and the extra space should fix that problem. Then you can put something new in the 75 gallon tank.

Good to see ya back in the channel, Quinn. Very nice fix! How did you smooth the silicone on, so certain spots aren't too clumpy? Also, maybe a frontosa/yellow lab/blue dolphin mix for my suggested stock option. 👍

Personally I think breeding projects are some of the most fun things you can do in a classroom! I think you guys should get a pair of a medium sized cichlid something like maybe krobia or potentially a cares act species like topaz cichlids granted they are in the same family as convicts so you'll probably get a crap ton of babies but maybe pairing them with another Justice boisterous fish that could hold its own would help with maintaining the population of the babies that survive. Or even a live bearer tank like a live bearer community would be fun there are so many fun godieds (although I'm probably spelling that wrong) that would probably be a fun breeding project and they are also on the cares list.

Came here to say welcome back. Missed your lovely face. You did an excellent job. Wish I’d resealed my 125 but I sold it and just bought a new one. I think you should give the 90 to the Mbunas and I like the idea of some angel fish or discus.

Good job on the resealing. Since it's a taller tank, I would say maybe Angelfish. But if that is too basic you could do Blood Parrot fish or if you wanted a single fish a Texas Cichlid. My first thought was Discus but with you being gone from the classroom during breaks, I don't think that would be a good idea.

In your situation, i think kids would get a kick out of classroom water pets per say, i might actually stock it with an Oscar or some type of fish that had a huge personality. If you don't want to go that route, how about 2 or 3 Freshwater Tiger Moray eels?

You could put angel fish in the 75 gal with some other community type fish. Or put them in the 90 gal. How long is that tank I have a 90 gal and mine is tall and 4 ft long. I wish it was shorter and a 5 ft tank IMO.

@CichlidBros 10 ай бұрын

Great idea! My 90g is the same - 4ft long. Same as a standard 75 just a few inches taller

Stock it with parrot fish and one bichir. That’s my style anyway.. Cool video, I currently received a used leaky 90 gallon. Gonna record the process too. This tank has tons of calcium and gunk built up on it, so this will be a complete restoration. My wife and friend already sanded and painted the stand. Now I gotta clean the glass and reseal. Any tips will be appreciated!
