:fish2:hello my fell fish friends!!!:fish2:

some of you may remember my old fishroom thread. Well that thread has long since been deserted, and some of you have been asking me for a update so here it is!!! :dance:


the FR houses:
10 20 gallon long tanks
21 10 gallon tanks
2 55 gallon tanks
5-7 2.5 tanks

following the great pics or it didn't happen rule, there will be pictures, and maybe a video too(y)

now for stocking (some tanks are not stocked yet)
20 gallon longs first

20L #1: jewel Cichlid breeding pair
20L #2: guppies (IDEK what they are doing:nono:)
20L #3: male krib tank (female died:eek:)
20L #4: multi breeding tank (fish not breeding size)
20L #5: Haplochromis tomato breeding tank (down to just a female sold the others)
20L #6: jewel grow out tank
20L #7: Haplochromis tomato grow out
20L #8: german blue ram grow out (looking for a pair)
20L #9:
20L #10:

10 gallons:

10 #1: RCS cull tank
10 #2: PFR RCS
10 #3: apistogramma macmasteri young pair (will be moved to a 20L soon)
10 #4: pumpkin shrimp
10 #5: Aph australe breeding trio (moved to a 2.5 to spawn)
10 #6 yellow lab fry

10 #20
10 #21

now to the 55's
1: yellow lab tank (or was the grow out before mass murder)
2: angel grow out (looking for a pair or two from the 10)

20 highs
1: will be a breeding tank for angels
2: grow out for the angels
3: grow out for the angels

2.5 tanks
these are used for the kilis when I want a spawn, tanks for fry for the first week (nothing super cool)


FR runs on a large eco pump, but I'm changing it to a linear pump soon
tanks use sponge filters, box filters, and power filters
lighting is low-medium (pics of this will come)
stand uses DADO joints, built by my mom (wood is not pressure treated)

I may have missed a grow out tank (let me know if something looks wrong)

If anyone has questions, comments, concerns let me here them!!
specifically stocking advise for new tanks


I will warn you though, when pics do come don't yell about the wiring, its messy but no shorts so far(y)

hope you've enjoyed this thread I wait your comments/advise!

Lol even still that would take me my whole afternoon. I'd never thought I would say this but that's too many tanks for me :D

Liking the set up, some nice Angels there.

My parents complain about me having three tanks (29g, 5g, 10g) in my bedroom....I can't imagine what would happen if I had a setup like this. Not saying it's not in the plans for when I'm older haha
 
big water change today. will get pictures of all the guys afterwards. also will show the whole system...
 
well I got some good news and bad news

good news: the big auction is coming up in a month or so. I will have lots of chances to get some great deals on tanks, shrimp, fish, plants, etc. more good news is that it looks like my family is moving to a bigger house, with more room for another rack or two.

badish news: moving will be a pain to break everything down after I just got it how I wanted it!

I promise I'll get some pics of the whole setup later tomorrow for all of you to see (y)
