  1. My goldfish have never had a gash that big but they've definitely gotten their fair share of scrapes and bumps off the decor in the tank. I even had a young oranda orange cap scrape up his eye and he spent a few weeks with a puffy/cloudy eye that I was worried about. But they always healed, it just took time. I threw a little salt in the tank and let the fish do the rest. My plan was always to quarantine and do more with medication IF it seemed like it was getting worse, but so long as it appeared to stay the same (e.g. it was healing slowly and I couldn't tell day-to-day), I didn't want to go overboard and do something to make it worse by accident. That wound might warrant special treatment upfront if others with more experience suggest it, but my advice is to just leave it alone and monitor it, and only take action if it appears to get worse.
  2. Thanks @Robert! I figured that might be the case but wanted to ask anyway:) I do check Craigslist pretty often and I’ve found a few bigger ones. Usually they’re pretty well used and require deep cleaning at a minimum, and always look like they probably need new silicon too. I’ve done that for smaller tanks but I’m not sure how I’d feel about doing that myself for such a huge tank, I’d be a lot more comfortable with a new tank and then get into resealing once I have more experience with larger tanks.
  3. I was just at the store today and noticed a few Aqueon tanks + stands on display for sale in the window. I never noticed it before, so I'm not sure if this is new, but is the co-op an Aqueon distributor now? I ask because I've been trying to figure out how to order some of the larger Aqueon tank sizes that you don't often find stocked in stores like Petsmart/Petco, and I'm hoping that might be something I could special order through you guys? If not, I guess this is also a pretty good place to ask where people around here get their larger showpiece tanks? I'm looking for the 125 at a minimum, but I would just want the tank (not the whole stand kit that you sometimes find at Petsmart). Ideally I would want a 150 or even 180/210 for the space I have in my living room but I've almost given up trying to find them!
  4. I'm pretty sure the "out of stock" indicator on the website is only for the available stock in the warehouse for web orders, not the available stock of the retail store. I've definitely run into situations at the retail store where the item i needed was not in stock at the store, and it was available on the website for ordering. I'd assume that means the website is only tied to the warehouse inventory, not the store inventory?
  5. A related feature that would be nice is the ability to see the retail in-stock status when browsing the website. There have been a few times when I needed something particular and popped over to the store only to find it out of stock. It's not a big deal, but it's definitely handy when you can see that availability ahead of time to save the trip 🙂
  6. Thanks Cory! I was surprised by the restaurant-style pager system when I went to the store a few weeks back, I'm constantly amazed at how you are thinking outside of the box to treat customers and employees well during this pandemic :)
