Looking forward to that one!

If things work out and the planets all align. I may be getting my hands on a 12' x 3' x 3' custom built tank, 810 gallons. If I do, I will be re-doing the fish room and the tank arrangement.

That would be awesome! Think of all the guppies you could raise in there! Or maybe one giant betta...

I still vote for the betta.

You guys and your Guppies and Bettas

yea, the white sand with make more color for tropheus

thanks

The clarity of acrylic is just amazing. My next tank will be expensive because I will either go acrylic or starphire (low iron) glass.

Tanks look awesome!

Sorry I'm not such a big poster but here is a picture of my Ilangi 210, my partners father built this killer stand STURDY ! I have a colony of 26 adult Ilangi and I leave them lots of room to be happy. It has changed quite a bit but you get the general idea.

Hi Jubs,

Nice job aquascaping using the colors and leaf textures to add visual interest!

It looks like it cleared up nicely and I like the substrate color and texture. If you could update me with your opinion of how it performs compared to what you have used in the past I would appreciate it.

If you need anything just let me know.

Thank you Roy. I trimmed down the crypts a bit as I was getting some new growth and the one was massive and blocking everything within 5" of it lol! I picked up some flourish products today but I am more confused about how to use them than dry ferts and EI dosing :/ so I have some research to do tonight.

Hi Jubs,

lol, sorry sometimes my plants get a little large but better to let you trim them than me. BTW, I use root tabs (Seachem Flourish) under the crypts (and sometimes the Marselea minuta) because the crypts are heavy root feeders.

No need to apologize lol. I need to pick up some root tabs. I am ordering some EI ferts today so hopefully have them this week. Also paid for membership with GSAS .

Hey Jubs,

August 11th is the GSAS picnic which is usually a blast! I think last year we had 50 or so GSAS members and family show up for a few hours of fishy fun. It's a Potluck, bring your specialty dish, GSAS provides the burgers, hot dogs, buns, condiments, beverages. If you bring a few snippets of plants you can participate in the plant raffle.

A Place for Pets in Burien has KNO3 and KH2PO4 (also K2SO4) in stock; I saw them on the shelf earlier this week along with some new Apristos in stock. If you wait until you get your GSAS membership card in the mail, APFP gives GSAS members a 15% discount.

-Roy

Sounds good I need to sign up I suppose to attend the picnic. I'll have the girlfriend make something lol she loves to cook.

I went there yesterday actually and liked their selection. I have my eye on some of those green rasboras as well they were really nice looking! As for the ferts it was so busy I couldn't really look at them without someone getting in my way so I just grabbed some Seachem stuff and headed out. I ordered from Colin over on TPT though so I should have some ferts ready to go this week.

I also talked to Jonah at Sierra yesterday about what he's looking for as far as livestock locally and I think I may try to breed some Apistos soon, he said they are something he's interested in as well as any of the dwarf cichlids, rams and stuff like that.

This is what a 75 gallon fish tank looks like after you open a fish store... Yes I should really scrape algae or add some nerite snails. Water is in great shape, I am able to look past the algae to see the discus growing

cory, please don't tempt me with pictures of discus....gas aint cheap you know...

never seen blue with a white belly before..

Don't worry I won't tempt you. These are just assorted discus that I took home to grow out a bit. They are the same $36 ones I sell in the shop all the time

I got some that should hatch in the next day and a half or so...one of these days ill make it past wiggler stage, the moms been eating everyone within a few hours of hatching....she watches over them for awhile, then decides its snack time, and sushi is on the menu

Very nice looking tanks.

Very nice! Love that metal framed tank.

Tanks! Got it complete with original light and backsplash on CR for $40! It's a labor of love i'd say!

lovin the biocube....curious when metal framed came back as the cool thing to have...had mine in 83...now im seeing them pop up all over the place

I just loved the look of the metal framed tanks...that and rimless tanks, but I decided to go retro as my father in law also has a love for them. He has a copper framed tank! Try googling it... = mind blown!

metal framed and rimless....cant get more different than that can we? copper would look nice clean, must be a bitch to polish on a regular basis...and treating fish with salt? forget it...a few runs of stray salted water down the frames mean green streaks....still, im sure it looks cool, especially with the right mix of fish

Yeah his is just a 5g or something but would be fun for a special fish. I saw an amazing one on Ebay but can't find any pics or I would post one.

Don't know how I missed this thread. Great pics. I love seeing tanks. Let's fill this thing UP!!!! I would love to see everyone's tanks.

Nothing new on mine, I did just add new substrate to the tank yesterday, so it's a bit cloudy.  I ditched the Lane mtn stuff, while it's cheap it just flew around to much and I constantly found it in my canisters..  I ended up going with the seaflor special grade aragonite..  

The rainbows are getting bigger, as are the fry.

Nothing yet. Just making sure I have tanks ready for my trip next month to the ALA convention.

Pretty cool setup Cory. Will be interesting to see what you add to it. And have fun at the ALA convention.

Love those pieces of rock in there.

Love the setup Cory.
What kind of rocks did you use? Are those lava rocks from Utah?
