nice, cant wait to see some pics when you're done. yeah i found it to be cheaper then setting up... 1..2...8 small tanks with filters (whoa!) . plus i'm hoping it will cut down on the number of water changes and the amount of time i have to spend doing them every wk.

yeah im gonna have to keep a close close eye on everyone to make sure they're heathly cause you're right if one gets sick, they will all get it

hehehe last nite i got a super deal on some plants, so now i have 27- that works about to about 3 plants a tank and i'll put the others in with the girls to provide more hiding spots. im going to place some of the plants along the divider wall so the guys dont have to look at their neighbor if they dont want to. i'm hoping that the plants and the colour of the dividers will limit the visability so that they dont get too stressed.
hopefully this will all work, its really a big experiment and there is always the possibility of it going horribly wrong (fingers and toes crossed that it dosent!).
Wow that looks awesome!! Good job. Hopefully someday when I move out and find a house of my own, I'll be able to create a setup like that -- very very nice!
thanks mandi and guppy dude
im pretty lucky my room at school is pretty massive - although it will seem a lot smaller once i move all the tanks up there
