Yeah, turned out to be a happy accident. No doubt. It could have been a LOT worse. All fish are fine, water is cleaned up and the Oscars got an upgrade. Was planning on just replacing the 55 glass, but Petco had the $1/gallon sale on tanks up to 40gallons and 50%off 55 & 75s. So I got a 75 for 90 bucks. Already had all the equipment, but ordering a new filter and heater just for overkill. With the Oscars in there you can't have too much filtration, hahaha.
for $90 that's awesome!!! idk much about fish, but you should post pics of your tank!
