Sorry for the quality of the pictures I guess all the lights and humidity in the tank throws my phone out of wack when taking photos

I'd love to see a pic of the tank overall for a size comparison, I know you said you just got a 100 gallon.

This was his first 10 gallon tank

I think the height of the tank makes it 100 gallon(it's really tall) because it doesnt seem like it.

He's looking really good Fernando. I like the sunshine pics best.

Here's the formula for determining gallons: length x width x height / 231 = gallons

For example, my living room tank: 72" x 18" x 24" = 31,104. 31,104/231= 134.65 gallons

Yours looks like a 60 gallon to me in the pic. 48" long, right?

Right on the money. I think i still got a really good deal on it, seeing as that I got the cool stand it came with, all for $50...and extra domes and heat bulbs that weren't used =)

I added a little obstacle course for Andy on Saturday

It was funny. He ran up the wooden ramp and ran across down near the pot and back again a couple times like he was excited. :D

Cute. I love the look they get in their eyes when they eat. They are so wide open and focused.
