So, I take terrible pictures and hate editing them. My fish room gets tons of glare. I'll get a few later when the sun is not so bright.
I'm in the (very long) process of setting up four 6' long x 2.5' wide @ 2.1' tall 234 gallon Aquariums I bought from GlassCages.Com . They've been stored in the garage for over a year as life was just too full to put in the hours needed to get them going. I still don't have the time, but my desire to having them in place is surpassing my willing to keep working excessive overtime.
This is Phase 1... Actually more like Phase 0.5:
I have a very large group of very small fish coming in next week and this is what I have set up for them.
This is a drilled 20 gallon (20" long x 12" wide @ 16" tall - sideways) inside the 234 gallon (6' long x 2.5' wide @ 2.1' tall). On the left side is a Hamburg Mattenfilter (HMF). Behind the HMF is an Eheim 158 Gal pump that pulls water through the HMF, then up over the HMF, into the 20 gal, which runs through a sponge (sponge block for an AC110 with holes cut for the overflows fittings) before spilling back into the 234 Gal.
So the new fish will go in the 20 gallon and the 234 gal tank (which has around 100 gallons of water in it) will act as a pseudo sump for the 20 gallon.
The 234 Gal has a few green Cherry Shrimp and a group of Key Lime Green Endlers. Some Some new driftwood that needs saturating.
I'll elaborate more on the "big group of little fish" when they arrive... But a very gracious member of MFK (
Beani keeper
) has agreed to send me a full brood of Trimac Fry. Which I will grow out to eventually select the top tier male and a few top tier females. I'm dedicating two of these 234 gal tanks to this process.
