I got into fish keeping a year or so ago because I wanted to have a little under water garden with fish. I love the look of aquascaping but soon figured out that my water didn’t make for the best conditions for growing plants and I can’t get my hands on all the different plants I would like to try to grow. But I did figure out that I throughly enjoy watching the fish.
I went from having a 47gal bowfront freshwater planted community tank with injected CO2 to getting a second 125gal freshwater planted community tank. My 125 has a mated pair of angelfish that managed to have a batch of eggs make it to the free swimming fry stage but soon after they all got eaten. I was really only hoping a few would make it but after seeing them make it that far I decided I need to give them a better chance so I bought 55gal and I’m getting it ready to move the pair into so they can try again.
My dream project is to build a large aquarium in my family room that would be about 16 feet long and 2.5 foot wide and 30in deep and have a terrarium above it for my son to have lizards. My husband has told me I am crazy and that there is no way our floor could support this. I know it would probably end up weighing around 5 tons so he is probably correct. The wall I want it on would have it spanning over multiple floor joists. I would think we could have them reinforced and it could work.
