Alright, so they have these things on other sites that I visit, so I figured I'd do it here. It's a tank log that I will update with pics and info on a regular basis.
First up is some basic info on where this project started and how it came to fruition. I've been tossing around the idea of getting a new tank for a LOOOOOONG time. After leaving and reentering the hobby more times than I care to remember, I finally bit the bullet and ordered my setup. I didn't have room for a 6', so a 180g was out of the question. I didn't want to settle for an 18" wide tank, so that left only two options...a custom tank or a 120g. Obviously the latter of which prevailed. So I went down to a local fish shop and ordered the setup: 48x24x24, 48" twin tube, pine cabinet, and glass tops. When the dust settled and I came to my senses, the bill ran up to $743.04 after taxes. Not terrible...I was pleased.
Equipment caused some hassle, but I quickly made my decision. The classis canister vs sump arose, but the canister won. Fluval FX5 for those wondering. Heating will come by way of Ebo Jager. I will most likely add a powerhead once everything is setup.
Enough of the boring talk...I know everyone wants to know what's going in the tank. At the SA trip, I spoke to a few of you about doing an Eartheater setup. Well, that isn't happening. The MONSTER in me can't seem to keep quiet. As of right now, the tentative stocklist is as follows...
3x P.Motoro
3x D.Pulcher
1x AAA Jardini
1x M.Tigrinus
3x Pbass?
The tank comes in this Friday, but I won't see the filter until next week. Until then, here's the only pic I have ...the bill
