New Guy in Independence KY - Aquarium Advice

frogsplat · 03-19-2005, 12:42 PM

Hi everyone. I've been lurking here for a week or so and this seems like a great place. I've been keeping aquariums for 15 or so years, but between work ,family, and other hobbies I don't spend as much time on them as I would like to.

I am currently planning an addition to my house and am considering the possibility of a room divider constructed of 3 55g tanks stacked. That's the reason I went searching for experts. Don't know if this will be possible but I know I'll have a ton of questions. So steer me to the right forum and let the brainstorming begin.

Thanks

Welcome

Are these freshwater tanks your planning? Or saltwater? I would post your questions in the getting started forums, or perhaps the [acronym:0b3c30c1b7="Do it yourself"]DIY[/acronym:0b3c30c1b7] forum for the do it yourself construction questions.

A tank wall sounds awesome.

Freshwater to start, but if possible I would like to make provisions during construction to convert 1 to salt. I don't know if I'll ever be brave enough to try a saltwater but I would love to eventually. Ideally I think it would be cool to have a fresh, a salt and maybe an amphibious type tank?

Thank
