best day ever

[philhawk]

i was out with my girlfriend to get some lunch and we passed earl-may nursury and figured that they get some interesting fish now and again and decided to stop in. well they arent selling fish anymore and they are trying to get rid of their equipment! any tank for 5 bucks!
so a few minutes later i was loading up 6: 20gal and a 10 gal best day ever

any suggestion on how to set them up maybe ill plumb them together
or do some brachish salt and fresh. the possiblities are endless

what would you do with 6 20 gallon tanks

Lets see... I would probably set one up as a salt because I have no salt tanks and always thought it would be fun...Then one brackish for the same reason. Then I would make a darter tank out of one, a topminnow tank out of one, killi tank out of another, then a dwarf sunfish tank. Then out of the 10 I would make a florida flagfish tank.... I like natives

Sell'em for $10. a piece...

Setup a breeding program for Zebra Plecos...

Setup a feeder quarantine or breeding system for a large piscivore.

Microrasboras sp. Galaxy and some other rarer small species.

I like the idea of setting up a quarantine tank too, I don't have one.

 

[philhawk]

quarintine tank is a great idea, also the breading i could set up one livebearer tank and a fry tank to maybe be able to support my clown knife with a steady healthy food source

my head is nearly exploding with ideas, now i just have to fund them

you could plumb them together like this. All overflows drain into one 4" pipe, then into a home built wet dry. Works great!!

I'd totally build a bank of tanks. Two rows of three or three rows of two.


Or a row of each with a 20 gallon sump and plant the 10, enclose it in the cabinetry and let it act like a refugium.


I'll draw you build!
