Hi! I've been a fish keeper in one way or another for the last 25-30 years. I've kept everything except african cichlids & ponds - marines, cold water, south american cichlids, lots of specialty species requiring species tanks. I haven't really kept bang up to date since having kids, but as the kids are getting older I am slowly drifting back to my first love - fish!
I currently have a 260 liter/60 gal tank that is set up with a pair of discus, 3 trilinneatus cory catfish, 3 sterbi cory, 5 golden barbs, 3 garra ruffa, 1 ghost knife, 1 haplo catfish, 1 tatia galaxia (?sic), 3 clown loaches, assortment of platys, 2 bristlnose plecs, 1 golden panchax and 2 weather loaches!
I enjoy doing a lot of the tank work myself (DIY pipes, sumps, filters, etc), which is what led me to this forum. I am looking to make a Stockman or Durso external overflow and have come across this link - http://www.jimweller.com/robs/PVC_Overflow.pdf which does not seem to exist anymore. I was hoping that someone might have a copy of it they could send me so that I can adjust what I have already made. I am trying to [FONT=arial, sans-serif]minimise what is hanging on the back of my tank so that it can sit as close to the wall as possible. Any other suggestions welcome or nudging toward the right forum is appreciated. Thanks is advance for any help.
The galleries here are very cool and makes long to keep arrowanas & such again!
Watery regards,
