It's hard to call this a new setup, as the tank is about thirty years old...

I need an isolation tank for my female G. steindachneri so I pulled this 24x16x16 fiberglass tank out of the barn.

Filtration was relatively easy, as I have it plumbed to my central sump system.

I cobbled together an acrylic top from scraps I had - PVC glue will do a decent job of bonding acrylic for non-critical joints, by the way.

The substrate is CaribSea "Torpedo Beach". You could call it a fine gravel or coarse sand, depending on how you look at it. The driftwood is all locally collected stuff.

Anyways, it is definitely nothing special, but I thought I would still share it. :) Now I just need to figure out what to do with it once the fry are grown. :confused:

Thanks!

The best part is I had everything just laying around the house, except for the vinyl tubing and a few barbed fittings. If you look closely you will notice the stand is an old metal desk (I'm a teacher and I got a few of them when they were slated to be thrown out). :D
