New guy intro with pics - Aquarium Advice

Gulp · 12-31-2004, 12:59 PM

Hello all. I just found this place and have spent a while reading many of the threads.....looks like a great place to chat and get some info so I figured I'd dive in and introduce myself.

I've been raising oscars for several years, but after loosing my last and favorite oscar a few weeks ago (Gulp was his name) to Hole in the Head.........I decided to to try something different. My wife and I went with Malawi cichlids. Here's a quick shot of the tank as it is now:

It's a 110 gallon tank, and I am using (1) Emperor 400, and (2) Magnum 350 canisters (one with a micron, the other with crushed coral packs and filter medium) for my filtration.

Here's one more showing the cabinet and hood my Grandpa built me a few years ago. Even at 80 years old.....he's still able to do some awesome work. I'm extremely proud of what he did, so I like to brag about it a bit too much.

:

There are more pictures of the cabinet and the fish we have here:

Oh well, that's probably enough for now.....off to read more threads.

Welcome to AA!

What an introduction! Very impressive indeed. Of course, I'm sorry to hear that Gulp (what an appropriate name [acronym:8b472be373="By the way"]btw[/acronym:8b472be373]) has gone on to fishy heaven. But the fact that you haven't given up on the hobby speaks volumes!

Enjoy the threads and there is a particular one for your enjoyment. It's called "Christmasfish's answer to everything". It is our "humor" thread. You can find it in the lounge.
