Some new tank and fish pix :)

Here is the new ocellatus tank, a 30 gallon (Can't wait to upgrade lights):

One of the residents getting comfy:

Is that tank custom or can it be ordered? I keep pondering shellies but I'd rather them have a little more room than a 20L.

Nice pics

The tank is a plain old 30 gallon 3', but I put in a custom overflow wall in the left corner.

Eventually I will be placing rocks in front of the wall to hide the heater and filter intake.

I can't remember.. What's the length on 29Gs and 20GLs?

Here is a list of the All-Glass sizes.

Hey! My 90 gallon weights 160lbs! No wonder its a pain to take up a flight of stairs Thanks for the link. I swear by All-glass tanks currently. Best balance of price/quality IMO.

You are killing me with those ngaras....I am fine until I see one. Color me green!

 

[Enki]

Don't worry TG, you are at the top of the list for a PM when there are fry ready, someday

I am pretty amazed by Neil myself, he gets prettier almost every day!

Cool!!! I just love the shell cichlids!!

What is the lighting now? If that is how the tank actually looks, I'd like to include it in our new project...Aquarium Advice Needs Your Pics.

The light is an 18" 2 lamp incandescent fixture, that I put 2 household compact florescent bulbs into. I think they are 13 watts each and I have NO idea what the color temp is.

I will get more detailed info about the lights in both my tanks, and pass it on for the other project
