Been meaning to post this for abot two weeks now...lol

Alright…so as you may have noticed I haven’t been on the boards as much as I usually am, at least contribution wise, I’ve been pretty busy with some new items and Stock…re-arranging set-ups and the way they are stocked, as well as preparing for some new guys, and a couple of breeding projects on the side ;)

SO, It’s about time I start updating you guys…and posting some PICS. Lets start it off with…..The New tank.

7’ x 36” x 30” With “Starfire” Glass for the front panel. I didn’t realize how much of a difference you get in low iron glass until I got this guy….SUPER clear 

Not the best pics, and I’m still working on the filter as between the wet-dry and tower I ran out of Bio-balls …The TSN (16”) and the Armatus (14”) are now growing a bit in my pond before I distribute them into other tanks.

Also quick pics of a few of the new guys as you may or may have not seen….

:WHOA:

I just looked at my 125 after I looked at your pictures, and my tank might as well be a bowl with a goldfish.
 
lol...ive been waiting for someone to make fun of my cuz...we all call him Jesus...Ironically he's no MFK...has a 29 g with mollies...and is Atheist...he he. Anyhow, the tank was quite a mission...all Glass, 5 guys and still had trouble...It doesnt even look too large with tems in there cause they are so big..thanks for all the comments guys.
 
:drool: wow, i wish i had the money to build a tank or get one like that, and nice fish collection, wow wow wow
 
Unbelievable. Nice setup. Can I ask, how much was the tank?
