what to do with 75g

[mitchwelt]

i have a 75 gallon tank with no overflows i used for a reptile cage, its never had water in it.
what do you guys think i should do with it, i have no filters or pumps yet either and a metal stand for it, i was thinking of doing a fish only tank with some fish that i cant put in my reef tank, like lion fish and eels and whatever

i also have some 10 gallon tanks i can use to make a small filter setup

Is it an aquarium, or was it specifically for reptiles? Make sure you check it out, reptile aquariums have much thinner glass, and are not made to hold water.

haha, I actually have a funny story.

I had a 20L that housed my old ball python... Anyway.. I cleaned it all out and started filling it with water... got about half way and I noticed a sticker at the bottom.. Shrugged thinking it was just a manuf. sticker and kept filling... Got about 3/4 full and READ the sticker "Do Not Fill With Water".... The tank was bowing out a ton.

Make sure the tank you have is capable of holding water, if it isn't it will say.

Get a bigger tank and use the 75 as a sump

i already have a 125 with a 60 gallon sump, i need something else for this tank, i would like to make a frag tank but think this is to big or tall

I'd set it up and put only a few inhabitants in it that are not reef safe that I can not have now.

Like ummmm

A peacock mantis
A clown trigger
Maybe a frog fish

Who knows - lots of things to choose from
