Hey Vicksta, That is a beautiful piece of workmanship. I love the colours too. Great job! Can't wait to see how the doors will look....Ray

Making Tank Stands If you're a cabinet maker you are in a different league from me. Besides if I went into business then I would have to buy most of the tools to make them. I borrowed just about everything in order to make mine. I got by with a lot of help from my friends. :) If not for my...

No it is not finished inside. It has a floor naturally and then 2x4's. It would be interesting to build them for a profit but the shipping would be the killer. Thanks though..Ray

The Stand Hi Ryan, I am not sure exactly what you mean by finished inside? What I did is paint and varnish the inside. The stand is completely enclosed. I haven't cut any holes in the back yet because I'm not sure of the filter I will end up with. If I can, I will get a 2217 eheim filter and if...

Aquarium Stand Well I finally finished the stand. It turned out pretty well I think. I will try and post a couple of pics of it. It's white because that's the colour my wife wanted it and I think it makes a nice change from the last black stands I had. Anyway like everything else if I built...

Aquarium Stand Thanks Smitty, I thought I would be okay but another opinion is appreciated. :p

I hope I don't have a problem. I am building an aquarium stand for a 75 gallon tank and everything was nice and square until I finished putting the finished plywood on the back of the stand. Oh yeah I glued it besides nailing it. That was this morning, after lunch I went down to clamp the front...

When I had my 200 made he wouldn't let me pick it up for 10 or so days. So I would be patient and do what he says then "no sweat"...Ray

Thanks Smitty. No thanks it is....

Thanks a lot Gargoyle! Will keep in touch when things start happening here. I am not sure now what size tank I will get, as I have had a few a few tanks offered to me for reasonable prices. One new one with a crack and one used that I am waiting to hear back on. Take care and say Hi to Oscar for...

Crack in bottom of 69 gallon osaka tank Today I have been asked if I was interested in buying a new 69 gallon fluval osaka tank, stand and lighting canopy for a really good price. One problem and this is the reason for the deal, there is a crack that runs from the right hand back corner for...

Hey Gargoyle, Thanks for the pics, that's really nice of you to do that for me. I have a couple of questions of things I see in some of the pics that I can't identify. The pic of the aqua lifter on the turtle tank, is that a skimmer in front of the intake? Also that same pic and the very last...

Thanks Gargoyle for going to all this trouble! A few pics would be great...

Thanks Gargoyle, One more question for now. Those tanks you bought (5.5 and 10 gallon) were they glass?

Thanks Gargoyle for all the information. You have me thinking that maybe that a wet/dry is the way to go. I have looked on You tube and elsewhere for plans and have seen a few that I could possibly tackle. I was wondering if you would have an idea approximately on the total cost to build one...

Thanks Gargoyle, I have thought about trickle filters a bit but thought they would be noisy. Can you hear the water running on yours? If they can be quiet than I would be interested in possibly making one. From what I read they are the biological king of filters.

filter ideas? I have my eye on a 120 gallon 48x24x24 tank and since I have been out of the hobby for 5 years I would like to hear what everyone has to say about what filter or filters I should have for this tank? The last tank I had I bought a eheim 2260 but I haven't got the cash to spend that...

fishtankk, If you meant your filter has a leak, then let us know where is it leaking from? Is it at the hose connectors or what?

Hi fishtankk, What is a filer?

aquariumplants.com is a good site and reasonable prices. You know it is funny, with the java moss after it takes it grows profusely. You'll find yourself taking out handfuls sometimes when your doing tank maintenance and throwing it away. Last week at the LFS they were selling about a quarter...

Don't put the java fern in the substrate, tie it on the rocks with a thread that will match the color of the rock. As whitedevil says java moss tied to rocks and wood would do well too. The moss grows so quickly that even if they want to snack on it ,it will probably just keep growing. The java...

Hi Carey, I think the tank looks real good. I did a 190 gal. like that a few years back and with no plants it looked more like a moonscape in my opinion. I had to do something to soften the look of it up and java fern tied to the rocks worked out real well for me. Good luck.....mr ray

Thanks Jonathan, I did what you advised and no problem.:grin:

How do I get into the chat room? I just get a big black square on my screen. Thanks. mr ray

Hi Everyone, I have a couple of questions that I would like to hear the general opinion from different people on. This will be first and foremost a tank for discus. My first question is to purchase a tank that is 48"x24"x24" or one that is 72"x18"x24"? My second question is should I have it...
