yeah, can't wait tho. I'm sure its gonna look awesome.

Thanks


I'm thinking about doing some fake vines woven around the rocks and up the filter intake (the T bar in the middle)

This looks awesome!!! Can't wait for more pictures!

We have diatoms!!!

And will be working on tank 2 soon. Got the gravel last night


Oh yeah, and my fiance has been working on moonlighting

How high are those tanks? I'd imagine you'd need a snorkle to get to the bottoms (if you don't have one of those gopher-type grabber things). Anyways, it's looking great!

Are you buying the lacey rock from a landscaping place? If I remember correctly, lacey rock is very light, and since these places usually do it by pound, the higher price per pound will even out.

i guess i can tag along =] seems fun

The tanks are 31 inches tall by 48 long by 18 wide.

My arms aren't long enough to mix the two sizes of gravel at the bottom so I used a piece of PVC pipe *lol* )will get pics soon. I do have some 18' feeding tweezers that I got from a herp site for planting my other tanks (they just might work for these tanks)

None of the landscaping places out here (within a 30 mile radius) carry lace rock, I have to get it from fish stores Uggh

I'm going to plant with what I have on hand until the boiling hot weather we've been having breaks, then I'll be ordering the rest

O___O i thought basements were suppose to be pretty cool, how hot is it in your basement?

 

[mfdrookie516]

I like this It looks really neat, cant wait to see them stocked. Have you ever though about the lack of ability to reach the sides that are together? Thats the only part that even remotely concerns me

I meant the weather outside. The plants will have to be shipped and that could create problems. But, for the record, my basement is 72 degrees (love my central air)

You mean the two corners that meet in the "center" of the stand? Nah, I can reach the insides easily (well, except for short arms) the space behind them is actually a plant stand, don't know if you can see it.

looking forward to seeing some FAT angels. nice tanks.

 

[DragonFish71]

We're still working on the fake plant layout for this one (this is the african cichlid tank) we moved our baby firemouths into it so they can grow out and be sold eventually. They are housed with about 100 feeder guppies. (and yeah, those are pantyhose on the filter intake bar. Don't want any babies sucked in)

I so wish i had the space for this. If i was in my own place i would. I would start my breeding projects i want to do.

The only fish we actually wanted to breed are the rams. The firemouths were totally unexpected. The female has such flowing fins we thought she was a male too. Imagine our surprise when we saw the sand vibrating with wigglers *lol*

 

[Etunes]

lol, i have amuch diffrent kind of fish i want to breed. Matter of fact 1 is a amphibian. A cacellian worm (Typhlonectes natans) and several species of hillstream loaches. 2 i would love to make a common aquarium item so that there wild counter parts would not be picked at so much.

 

[DragonFish71]

When I convert my 55 into a river tank I plan to have tons of hillstreams and pygmy corys and let them go hog wild breeding

 

[Etunes]

Id imagine you would have a hard time getting the ptgmys to breed. With alll the current.
