Got new tanks + rack

[Andrew McFadden]

I've always planned on building one of these. Well I've done it over the past couple days. Can't wait to get some new fish, shrimp and plants.

Got he back blacked out. Need to go grab another 20L and two more 5.5 gallons. Then I can get my other 20H, blue velvet tank and rcs tank on this rack. It holds 4 5.5 gallons, 2 20L and 2 20H tanks all together. Thinking about finding two more types of shrimp tanks, a African riverine tank, Asian tank and south American tank

Going to be part of the Asian tank and African tanks on the rack. Thinking about getting some rainbow darters for a north American tank.

WOW I just looked the rainbow darters up and never herd of them before. According to what I read they are right here where i live. Very cool.

Got the 20L tank partially filled to get up to room temperature. Wrapped the rcs tank in white trash bags and added play sand. Moved the blue velvet tank to the rack as well. Need to go shopping tomorrow to get a few things so I can get moving a little faster.

Looking awesome!

Almost finished with the rcs tank. Decided I've got to stop trying to make it perfect and go back to it later. I've got plants and wood coming in the mail tomorrow for the other tanks so I've got to get started on them. So I got the lights hooked up, substrate in and filter hooked up on one tank shown in the picture. Got another tank with substrate and water in and no lights yet. Pulled the gravel out of my blue velvet tank The other day to change to black sand and to weed out some plants.

A little has changed. I haven't been in the mood to move tanks and plants around really, so I just do a little a day

Time to just let it grow and make changes in a month or two if needed on this one.

Got the other tank out of the kitchen and on the bottom of the rack. Built a diy co2 for the one tank and started 3 others.
