Thanks options. I like ur avatar lol.

I've had this tank for awhile and been on the forum for almost a year and have never posted any pics (mainly cause I don't have a camera) so I thought it was time to throw so out and get some love I can't wait to get it all done up so it can look like some of the gorgeous tanks I've seen on here.

Yeah dude you have the #1 fish on my wish list can't wait till im done school next year and get my own place. First thing im doing is getting a 6ft tank and going shopping for some fronts! Your tank is really nice i like it! As far as painting the back of the tank do you have easy access to the back of it and do you have hob filters that would get in your way? If so i would move them to the sides of the tank and clear that area. What i did to paint the back of my tank was put painters tape along the top and bottom braces, bought a paint roller, then applied 5-6 coats of paint till it was done. My tank was empty at the time and much easier to see where i needed to apply more paint as i shined a flashlight and where the light went through i touched that area up.

HTH,
Chris

Here very shortly I'm throwing the tank up ona pallet rack so I can put another 8' tank that I have on the rack above. It's a divided tank I bought from a lfs that was moving. It's gonna house my frontosa fry and I'm gonna breed a select others in the extra chambers. Prolly some plecs and maybe thro a trio of inkfin calvus. I'm gonna paint it when I empty it to move it. No roller marks huh? That's what I was worried about. I thought spray paint might be easier.
Let me know when ur ready cause I'm sure I will have some little ones. I just stripped a female today. Only 8 fry tho. Last week she had 15 :/

Also if you have any questions about em I'd be happy to answer them. I only know a lot about one species of fish and that's frontosa. Also I have a good friend of mine who knows all when it comes to fronts. He's actually going to the lake here in the next few months.
I love the fish. I think they're beautiful.

I actually spent an hour or two toppin off my tank this morning and rearranging all the deco. I took out all the plastic rocks and crap and put in some real ones. Like I said before I also stripped one of my females (first time). I'll have to post some pics tomorrow. It looks pretty sweet

So it took me a year to post some pics of my tank on this thing and of coarse once I posted the pics I had to remodel and clean the whole thing. I'm loving the new set up but it's still not quite the way I want it and it won't be until I get my pallet rack situation taken care of.

Anyway I appreciate all the comments and I'm going to post some new pics here in the next few days

Thanks again guys for taking the time to post a comment or two
