I have been stalking the forums for a few months and throwing a couple of comments in here and there. Finally i can show you all the start of my new aquarium. I dont really have any decent photos yet, although i snapped a few quick shots of the fish i have in there while they were feeding yesterday. There is still a huge amount of work left to do before i can say it resembles a decent tank, but i had to get some water in there before i left for work a few weeks ago.
You all may have seen the tank for sale on here a few weeks ago. it is a 4x2x2 that came with a custom built stand. The photos that were put up on the for sale thread didnt really give a good impression of how tall the stand was. I like it though, I am 6'2" and it saves me squatting to look in the tank. The tank stand will be getting a very cool paint job in the near future, so stay tuned for that one.
To do in the near future:
- Overflow and sump
- Better substrate for plants
- Remote logging so I can check it at work. (Parts ordered, FIFO worker 2 weeks on 2 weeks off)
- Cichlids
To do eventually cash permitting:
- CO2 injection
- Hood
- Breeding
- Bichir (Breeding?)
Sorry for the crap smartphone pics...
