Another Plywood Build, for my bass

[jeffries]

My bass did NOT go into this tank. It was a very tough dicision but the right one. My LM Bass is an awesome fish, but he was not right for this tank.

I am curious as to why you chose not to put your bass in this tank? I have to be honest with you... I always kinda thought the tank was a little too small for it but I never said anything to you because you seemed so passionate about this build, that I didn't want to deter you if that's what you really wanted to do.

I think the tank size would be OK for him as his growth rate had slowed right down to where he is pretty much fully grown as his is a male bass.

The reason we decided against putting my bass in this tank was mainly a visual concern. He is not an active fish unless it is feeding time so for a living room tank it would not be interesting at all.
The fish we have in this tank now are active, fun and very interesting to watch.....in fact, I may move my sofa to right in front of this tank as it is more entertaining than the TV.

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE FISHKEEPER

I have just fitted some blue fluresent lights to my canopy. So I now have blue and white lights wired up on switches so that I can have either blue, white or both lights on at one time. I'll try and take some photos of the 3 different settings and post them here if the pictures come out well enought.

I also have an old canister filter that I am trying to rig up as a "poop vacuum collection system", but I am having trouble getting it to suck. Once I get it worked out I post something about it.

Here's a few photos of the lights. I wish the photos looked as good as it does in real life.

1. The first photo is the blue lights.
2. The second photo is the white lights.
3. The third photo is the blue and white lights on together.

Very nice Bro,
I do like the blue/white combo. It really shows the front to back depth better. I hope my lighting comes out as well.

Datnoids, would be a great fish to grow out in that tank, fairly inexpensive as small fish, slow growers, and worth a TON of money when they get around the '6" and up' size...
(like under $40 for 2-3", to several hundred and on up to 4 digits for the big ones)

I have to agree with Zennzzo. The blue/white combo looks the best. As for fish, you go with what floats your boat. I am sure it will look great with what ever you decide.

looks awesome all three ways. I like the all blue I bet it is incredible with all the other lights out in the room at night
