Hey all early this year I bought a beaut tank and cabinet off my old boss and havnt really had much time and money to do aything with it. We were cabinet makers so my old boss built a very nice solid jarrah cabinet for his tank but lost interest in fish and I was quick to snap up a bargain at the price he was selling it at. The cabinet alone would of cost somewhere close to $3500 to be custom made at my old company but lets just say I got the whole package for a very good price
These photos are of what my tank looked like about 1 month ago, just had some limestone pieces on one side and large fake plants on the other. Sold the fish he gave to me with the tank and I just had in their what I had in my old tiny 100 litre tank which were just some mixed juvie cichlids, clown loach and a couple goldspot pleco's. At the moment I want to keep my clown loach becuase they have a good behaviour, not 100% sure what else I want in there at the moment but leaning towards 8-10 nice looking frontosa perhaps kipili, 3-4 black calvus and a nice pair of L numbered pleco's. The tank is only a 75 gallon but dont worry I plan on starting fresh with every fish from fry. In a year or so when I have more room in my house Im going to get much larger tanks for them to grow bigger in
Only in the last month I have gathered up more money to start doing everything the way I want it to be. Got me new cannister filter, alot of tahitian moon black sand and other bits and bobs from AOA the other day so I can finally start doing everything. Im going to paint the back of my tank black within the next few days and start putting my new sand in. Will post pics as I go along, Im not an expert on fish but Im here to learn so any hints and tips would be great. Cheers, Tom
