u/LotsToDiscus

Hello, im in a position to do my "dream build" for my discus. I shut down 13 of my 14 aquariums, and will transfer my 10 discus into the final tank once put together. They're currently in a 50g... so time is of the essence.

Here are requirements (what i want VS what my wife tolerates)

Timeline: need tank within 1 month (southeast USA)

Size: I want a 60x24x24 (or similar)

Style: I want a hood. My wife hates light wash. I figure if its covered then rimmed vs rimless doesn't matter as much

Stand: my wife likes wood look - traditional, not modern.

Filtration: im going to run an FX6. Previously had a 90g with sump but this will be in the living room so the threat of noise can not be tolerated. Do not need drilled

I would have gotten the Waterbox Eden X 145 FLED but the stand was not approved of ("too modern").

Taking any and all suggestions...

Edit - I am open to most suggestions - I could do a sump, I could go without a hood. I can do almost anything. I am limited to the 60x24x24 size.

Hello - I'm switching jobs and need help to get a separate travel card. A strange quirk of the job is that travel goes on a personal cc and is then reimbursed. This means I'll be purchasing airfares, hotels, rental cars frequently.

I want a separate card to use just for these transactions so I can monitor it better.

I am going to be based in Atlanta and primarily flying Delta (both domestic and international).

I'd be pretty happy to have lounge access and ability to bring in a companion.

Annual income is $135,000. I currently have a Chase Freedom Unlimited as my daily card and C1 Quicksilver for backup and overseas transactions.

Ai pushes me hard to the Amex Platinum, with Delta Reserve as the other viable option.

Anyone have thoughts?

Hello, middle aged dad struggling with trying to find a next car. I know i probably need a minivan, but its hard to find something that suits.

Must haves: AWD, driver seat memory, towing capacity of 2,500 lbs +, room for four adults and a kid.

Curently I have a 2024 hyundai Ioniq 5 and 2017 Mazda Cx5 both in the highest trim, so I've become a bit spoiled with amenities and tech.

My wife prefers hybrid.

Ive heavily considered the Hyundai Palisade, kia telluride, Toyota sienna. I would probably have gotten a new Kia Carnival Hybrid but its FWD only.

Sienna seems to make sense, but there is nothing in stock near me and the price on used is hard to swallow.

Honda Odyssey seems like a maybe, but my understanding is they havent had much updates in last 8 years.

Am I missing any candidates here?

UPDATE: reading through replies, its solidified that I need a minivan. Wife has reluctantly agreed that she can compromise on hybrid and/or AWD.
