I prefer to add shells for a little color instead of plants (theres not many in the rift lakes).

[lmartelli77]

Here's a couple pics of mine...the first is the whole tank and then zoomed in shots of the right and left sides of the tank. It was bedtime, so most of the fish are not visible in the pics.

Pic quality sucks... but here's a few shots of my tank. Plz excuse couple of lost souls in there... like the texas, silver dollar etc.!

@mike
the setup where you have 3 tanks side by side is really cool! What's the length of each tank?!

[fisker]

Have a look at the newest plywood-tank I built :popcorn:

[theroque55]

Thought id try to post some pics up here of my new mbuna tank im working on

[bucyouup68]

As some of you know, I have been working on getting a new tank setup for my Africans. I transfered the fish this morning to the new tank. I almost lost some fish in the transfer cause the way i had to do it, but all are doing fine, and are very happy. The AC110 Is working great, I transfered the old Biomax from the Nano to it, along with the new. I am also Soaking the Bio Balls in the new tank as well. All readings are great. Ph 7.8-8.0 Ammonia 0 , Nitrates 0, Nitrites 0. I expect the Nitrates to rise in the upcoming days as the BB starts to grow more, and the cycle continues. The Nano Is fully available for sale now, it is clean and ready to go. See Thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174014

Anyway I am Beat up from this move cause I had to rearrange every thing in the living room to get this tank to work, and the weekend is shot. But happy with the overall setup, and so are the fish. Here are some pics,

Tank Is still cloudy but improving, you can see the BB Floating, and that is a good sign of a Cycled Tank.

Nice tanks mike Here is a pick of my old setup

[TRENT]

Here are a few pictures of the 180 I bought on monday for 275.00. This thing was so dirty. I brought it home washed it, scraped it and washed it again. Painted the back ground blue, had some glass cut for the top and added a sump (traded for a 16 gallon Nano tank). This is my first sump so I'm excited about this part. Sump is rated for up to 210 gallon tank. I need to buy a bigger pump. The one I'm running is only good for 600 GPH. The overflow is rated for 1200 GPH. I'm only using one of the J tubes. Filteration will consist of sump, two AC110"s, two powerheads and one 250watt heater in sump and one in the tank. Sound good? andy advice on the setup appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

Finished demasoni tank, and finally got the fish in. Please let me know if you like it , any suggestions, to make better for them. Thanks. it is a 125 gal. I had some yellow labs with them, took those out, now I have a trio of peacocks females are 2.5-3",and the male is 4.5" and a 6" albino eureka red male, with the demasoni, they get along great.

Sorry about the blurry pictures, my camera sucks!

Well here’s my 90. It’s three months old and built between my foyer and bar, all the equipment runs down the sides of the tank. I can’t wait for my Java to grow in; so far they don’t seem to mind it. More rocks to come, any other ideas? Thanks

My first tank. I ran in to a problem last night. My lower seals all simultaneously gave out on me (I don't know how in the hell it happened) after a week of having my tank. It was used though :( I lost 5 fish. I picked up a new tank first thing this morning and worked everything back in. I've got a piece of black vinyl coming here soon, and I really wanna put it on ASAP.

Labidochromis caeruleus X 6
Iodotropheus Sprengerae X 2
Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis (lemon Tetra) X 3
