VERY NICE TANKED!

excellent looking tank, your guna give us a run for our money during tank of the month

we also are wanting a much larger tank and will have to save up for it for a while, possibly a 4ft tank - and quite deep - not too sure yet, something that'll take alot of fishies hehehe

Agreed the tank looks great BUT

If you plan to house large(ish) fish in this new set up is there not a risk of them toppling the rock set up??

If so you could crack the glass if they managed to dislodge those well balanced rocks??

 

[Tanked]

nik,

I was worried about that to so I adjusted it: the rocks on the bottom are going no where. I can not move them with my hand. see:

edit, btw: I had posted this pic above. rocks are a non issue now

 

[Nik]

Cool.

Look forward to more pictures.

 

[fishdude]

i also nominate it for TOTM.

Great lookin tanks Tanked & Jamnog.

Tanked I notice you are using the red slate in yours, I have used the same stuff and really like the look of it, but found the edges have a tendency to get razor sharp. What I have done is run the edges across my belt sander, the rock is soft enough that the sander flattens it out beautifully and doesn't even cut through the sand paper, I sand it in lengthwise to avoid chipping off any flakes.

puffer,

the edges were very sharp so I took you advice. I don't have a belt sander so I used my dremmel with a cone shaped bit. it was great and small enough I could get into all of the little nooks and crannies. there is not a shrp edge left.

thx for the advice.

Hi I'm New here...Just LOVE the Pix of your New Tank set-up, you've done a BEAUTIFUL job !!! I just got a New 2 Gal. Tank to put my males in, as I was having a population EXPLOSION w/my Guppies. I didn't know they could inter-mix, WOW !!! Thank God, each of my PG. Females only had 1-4 Fry at a time, I'm up to 24 (from 3, LOL)of Fancy Guppies/Swordtails. My Female Swordtail died 2 days after I got her. But the boys don't seem to mind, I guess they like the Guppies. I still don't know what my Scavenger's name is, he hides alot in his little house. I'll send a Pix. Well, gotta go. Hope you all have a Swimmin' Day !!!
