My 46 gallon bow front

[dhgyello04]

I am going to Transfer my fish from the 30 Hex into a 46 bow front. I picked it up with stand and light (basically the entire set up minus the filer system) for 150. I tested the tank for leaks and nothing. That was my biggest concern about buying a used tank. After class one day I went over to the local landscape company and picked up a few rocks. The rocks where called “Emerald Green”. I went to Tropical Haven in Modesto, Ca for the driftwood. I am doing this so I can use my 30 hex as a fry grow out for the German Blue Rams. I will be ordering plants and black florite as well as black florite sand and play sand. This will also be my first planted tank.

Thanks a lot… hopefully it will be soon. We are in the process of selling our land, so I am just waiting on the set up. It would be one less tank to move..

nice tank how do you like that fluval.

I have a 205 on my 30 hex, and a 405 on my 90 gallon. Both have been great. And the replacement parts are easy to come by if you need them.

How do I attach the two pieces of driftwood together shown above? The reason for doing is, because the way I want them in the tank could be dangerous for any fish under it, if the structure was to shift for any reason. I would be using a sand floor so that will not be any help. What is the best way to do so?

you could silicone or screw them to slate; or silicone them to eachother, or do both to make them more stable.

Thanks for the help... wouldn't the silicone just give way after being water loged...?
