WoW!

Nice tanks......You'll need to invite friends over for a "Water Change" Party!

[bikim420_2005]

i know man its hard keeping up and just feeding and turning off lights takes forever

[dent20]

And I thought I was doing well with a 125, two 55s, a 29 and two 10s.

[bikim420_2005]

ive only been doing fish less than 2 years, anyone know anyone in maine looking to buy fish i have lots to sell ill sell any or all for right price i buy sell trade all the time

[junglej]

Man, thats a nice fish room. Someday I'll have the space to concentrate all my aquariums. Right now, mine are spread through out my 2 br Apt. My wife gets upset when she steps in puddles by the aquariums. Would be nice to be able to keep em in a separate room. Then, if she doesnt want to step in wet spots, she doesn't have to come into the fishroom!LOL!

[bikim420_2005]

they are in 4 rooms most in 1 but lots in 2 other rooms and 3 in another. puddles? on floor?

[junglej]

yeah, still do water changes w/a 5 gal. bucket

and i have to carry them throughout the apt. as i have aquariums in every room other than bathroom

currently have 1 in kitchen/dining area, 4 in the living room, 3 in the bedroom, and 1 in my sons room.

make that 2 in the dining/kitchen area

[bikim420_2005]

i run a garden hose from sink to my tanks to fill them .my tanks are in 4 rooms 44 tanks and wghen i syphon ,i syphon it into sink with garden hose

[bikim420_2005]

http://mainelycichlids.weebly.com/fish-tank-videos.html ive added about 10 more tanks since i took these videos plus got rid of some smaller ones and upgraded to larger i added 3 more 55s in bedroom and put some in a little entry way kinda room in there i put a bowfront 26 gl and 2 20 gl and 3 more 15 and 10s

[junglej]

yeah, cant do that here. I've clogged the drains trying. And, you just run water from the faucet to the tanks? I like to let my water conditioner sit a while before adding.

[junglej]

HOLY CRAP! what's your electric bill like?

[bikim420_2005]

before i started using long hose syphon into sink i drained it out the window or door

[dent20]

What do you do for filtration with all of those tanks? And heating? The utility bills would be my biggest worry. So far I have power filters on all of my smaller tanks and a cannister on the 125.

[bikim420_2005]

i have heaters and filters in every tank the type of filters that waterfall into the tank so i dont need air pumps i also have hoods & lights on all my tank light bill is 300 mth but we have electric cook stove electric heat electric clothes dryer washing machine elect hot water tank etc
