You have a 75 Gallon Fish Tank??
Holey-Moley! You must be a serious aquarium owner.
You have my respect. That’s got to take up an entire wall of your home. I’ll bet it’s quite satisfying to look at when in full use. Muti Water Pumps too, I suppose. That’s big enough for a few young Catfish.
Meanwhile, I’m struggling with my 10 Gallon tank, looking for the right underwater plants for Goldfish.

I had 5 “church carnival” common goldfish in a 20-gallon tank 3-1/2 years ago. I killed them all except for one within a year because I didn’t have a clue about how to care for them.

Then I got the 75-gallon tank for my one remaining GF who was about 7 inches long. He thrived in his huge tank, but the damage to his little body from the first year was too much and, sadly, he died last month. I’m getting 3-5 fan tails after my vacation next month since they don’t get as big as commons and they’re really cute.

You can forget about plants in a GF tank since they eat everything they see. Buy a pothos plant and put the cuttings into the top of the tank. The pothos will help reduce the nitrate levels and any algae you might have, plus it looks really cool growing out of the tank.

My 75-gallon is only 48” x 18” x 20”. I run 2 60-gallon filters and a UV sterilizer because GF produce a huge amount of waste and more filtration is better. It’s an expensive hobby initially but once you get the hang of it, it’s totally worth it.
