12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

[12 Volt Man]

You have the most amazing lemon fins i think they should go in the 150. Great choice of fish! The tank looks amazing

thanks. I don't have the big guys anymore, but I do have the 4 small ones growing up in the new 150

if the it wasnt finished I could of helped you out with the rough in electrical and then you would just need a licensed sparky to put the new breaker in. but I hate drywall

you are really only suppost to have 12 outputs or what ever you want to call it on 1 circuit. I have the same thing going on in my apartment, the whole kitchen (minus the stove) and half the living room including the aquarium and plasma TV on one circuit, so if I want to use a microwave or something in the kitchen I need to plug it into the stove.

thanks, I think I am pretty safe with what I have now, but one more tank needs at least a filter, heater and lights...I will have to see what I can do. I would love to have another planted set up.

perhaps it might have to go in another room in the house...if that ends up happening I will probably go with a 50 (36x18x18) or standard 55 gallon..

Picked up 4 clown loaches today, so Mother doesn't kill me when she comes over to visit (she loves clown loaches and wrote me out of the will because I sold the ones I used to have LOL)

they are living in my 20 gallon quarentine tank in my laundry room at the moment -its on a separate circuit .

I don't want to deal with Ich in a 150...lol

thanks, but bad news:

damn. found one clown on the floor after work today. managed to escape my 20g somehow..

will have to try and get another on Friday.

4 is a nice group to have...

 

[BushFishRox]

sorry to hear that.

They have great colour and will look incredible in your tank! I think you should get 12 atleast, thats would make the tank look so exciting and full of movement.
Im sorry about your clown loach! Thats really sad.
Shame you dont still hae the huge lemon fins id have loved them for my 350G

 

[12 Volt Man]

yeah, **** happens. I will try and pick up a few more of them on Friday. a nice school will look really good in the big tank.

thank
