had to get out the nailer... these 2” screws r cheap and painfully slow to drive in...

little bit of wires behind this...

got the 2nd layer higher by 3.5” or one 2x4 than i wanted - the depth only 19.5” making hobs a little tricky....

done for the day, gonna clean it up tm...

didn’t even think about putting tanks on the bottom .... only 19.5” high -

well, fish holiday coming to an end.... 10 days or so left....

one last push here....

sadly funding for my 280’s got diverted to my 7.4.2 Atmos system for my living room as my discount will be going away... and trying to take advantage of that... so a little behind on tanks...

gonna go grab a 50g breeder and 125g for my qt room - hopefully today...

hopefully pics line up with comments...

75g - sadly Oscar got ich? going to be his home for a bit... probably never happened before... my galaxy pleco schredder in there with him... recovering from a mix up with Aimara -

150g - Aimara Solo at the moment ... banged up...

75g - Victorian M lutea / redfin piebald - actually going well, must be hitting that over crowded sweet spot

120g - African - cruising along - leaf fish in a dispute - Afer pretty black - no sign of spots...
bichir growing steady minus the endli.... poor endli....

120g - Nothing tank - got random’s few CL , Butterfly fish and jewels that didn’t survive the african tank

625g - going strong with 10 bass , black arow, sailfin pictus , L14, L114 or L600 and a sun cat...

40g - dual grow out for fry - victorians/ red spot sevs

75g planted - got a Jar in there 3”-4”

20g mini rack - breaking down today - moving guppy upstairs to 45g - wife likes

60 g - got 4 whimple and few pleco....

that’s about it....

well,

glad i didn’t try to move stuff in the morning....

always takes longer....

got 5 tanks moved and 2 monster tanks broken down.... (5g/10g) - ?

flow is better - cleated the path more importantly to get a 6’ tank in my qt/grow out room....

no fish in the 20L - did not want to mess with the plants... will break this down next ?

well.....

bought this 125g for my qt closet.... didn’t fit by 1” - if i took off the top layer i could get it in.... wanted to have a big fish qt tank.....

don’t really like putting tanks in front of windows....

wife’s like take it back.... me.... why would someone ever do that?

was not planned to go down like this.... but it seems while i’m at it and i’ve got another matching stand there.... maybe grab another....

Since you got a lot of bigger fish, what about just nano fish in the 125? Nothing bigger than 1 inch.

good idea! i know there are a bunch of mid sized cichlids, green terrors and such....

gonna use as a QT / grow out for the fogo ive got coming...

thanks for the idea!
