Aquarium Advice FINatic
Okay, so I have always loved model RailRoads and FishTanks. I recently decided that my next (future) fishtank will be a combination of the two hobbies.
Here's what I'm thinking so far:
large, long FW community tank: 150 Gal or so.
A 'mountain' in each back corner, each with a tunnel
RR tracks coming out of the tunnels, meeting in the center
Train station and other small buildings complete with people
Everything glued together of course
I would add real plants on my mountains and around the buildings.
Okay, so everything, once painted would have to be coated in something to keep anything from leaching into the water, this includes the track itself and any train cars - the metal parts must be kept from rusting. (any ideas??)
I am thinking mostly bottom-dwelling fish, ones which will live in my buildings and caves and 2 or 3 medium schools of smaller fish. Any ideas on fish that would look good in this environment?
I plan on building the lanscape up along the back wall as to hide any filtration, heating, etc.
What do you people think? This is definitly going to take quite a lot of time to set up and money to get together and I wont have either for ages but I really want to look into this venture...
