This is awesome! Do you still have those 6 clown loaches you bought from me a couple years back? I'd feel a lot better about having to sell them knowing they're living there, haha.
A lot of those tanks look familiar too. I'm guessing you cleaned out the Cleveland Aquarium Adventure when it closed? (I work at the Columbus one)

yes i still have them , and all of my D.A.S. tanks were from Aquarium Adventure when they closed down, i got the 700 gallon dogbone and the 2 - 280 gallon half dogbone tanks, and 30 of the 3 tiers from that auction, and a very tall 325 tank, i tried so hard for so long to get the big dogbone tank form them when they were open, but they would never sell it to me, then when they closed down and i went to the auction, i was able to buy it for 1/4 of what i offered them in the first place. i call them dogbone tanks because they are shaped like a dogbone, stop on by sometime, and visit your fish

Not a fan of lava rock.. but you made it look good! also looking forward to seeing what you do with that insert and building the pond! Hopeing to start our own build by spring so love to see what you do. Need a full room shot now that it sounds like you have things up and running nice if you have the time!

hi and thank you, i will take alot of pics when we do the inserts, but its looking like we are doing the cement pond first, and i am working on a walkthrough video to post on here,
