here we go again

[louisypher]

well i allready tried to post this but as my comp is a bit crappy, i dont think it took.to make it short and sweet this tank will have :
1 15" clown knife
1 12"bichir
2 blood parrots
2 bal sharks
2 plecos
2 iridecent sharks

the plant is called parrots feather by the way
so i was told by the previous owner
the substrate is a split faced marble /left from a job w/ gravel for filler about 12 inches on the right side as i plan to use the undergravel filter with cheapo power heads from wallywart.
well goodnight all.

that thing looks too small for the fish u have listed. the CK will be especially crowded. how big is the tank? looks like a 30 to me. i would also worry about your stand since most of the tank's weight is going to be held at the corners. try reinforcing your stand somehow, or buy one for it, or make one! gl

30 tall 48 wide 13 deep
LOL
30 gal on steroids
an they will be better off than the 50 all these guys and more are in at present
look at my post freakin sad
had another 90 but it died
also have a 120 i am waiting on
thats what happens when you get things for free
the stand is odly very strong
the person who sold it to me said it was original w/ the tank
i put it backwards so i could build doors for it and utilize space
still cant beat the price
thanks

wow its bigger than it looks haha. what do u mean by having ur tank die on u? i hope that thing doesn't collapse in your room one day o_o

 

[louisypher]

no it was dropped, another 90, i was ready to use.here is a pic of some happy fish, notice the yardstick
btw
what part of cali
my girlfreind is in LA
well 100 miles from.
the plant are a just for now thing ,(unless i get too lazy)
i plan in a nifty lil rock shelf / fake plant thing

 

[foodandfish]

interesting stand for the tank. how does it support all the weight?

 

[ewurm]

Setup looks great! You did well with the substrate and deco.

 

[louisypher]

thank you. i plan on a more cave style look as the blood parrots seem to like hiding in tubes.to be honest i was skeptical of the stand and will be reinforcing soon, as well as adding doors to the front,all this in time i just am happy i could get them into more open water, being stuffed in a 50 gal had to be driving em nuts.

No in the post after he wrote that the dimensions are 48"X30"X13" so it's at least 50 gallons
