very busy time of my life new marrige new babies.One dat my iguana escaped and managed to spin the dial on the space heater to full by climbing on it.it was over 100f in the room when I went in there,all fish killed.Didnt have time or money to start again.Now a little older and kids are old enough to help Im starting again!!

Lesson learned,space heater in the room is too small to do that,and no crazy lizards!!....yet
 
Spent part of saturday washing old gravel for the 20gs on the top shelf.gravels been in storage for years and wasnt clean when I put it away :barf:
Got some fish living in there a "red zebra malawi"that the other mbuna took an immediate dislike to and beat up pretty bad in one of the 30g and my 3 silver dollars that werent digging life with oscar in the other 30g.lfs is saving me some java moss for thursday when I can pick it up. :woot:
Expecting a shipment of filters soon so I can get some fish.Threw out all my old dynaflo filters at some point and its time to move into 21st century filtration anyway :grinyes:

nice, whats ur biggest tank??
 
lookin good what kind of filters did you get?
 
got a couple marineland biowheel filters some box and sponge filters too. bought the new whisper 100 air pump(blue looks like an alien frog) cause theyre so quiet.
Picked up some java moss and common guppies today to start things going.I like to selective breed guppies to see what I get and feed the rejects to my cichlids.the bigest tank in there is a 55 like to keep the big tanks in my kitchen.
 
Just stumbled across this.Pity the photos arent here anymore Id like to see the evolution over time.Since then I built another 9x9 room next to the original small room made a hole in the wall to connect the two and have placed over 1600g of tanks i it.Switched my main filtration over to sponges and 2 sumps.I purchased a linear piston pump that supplies all the air.
Ill post up a photo tour in the photo lounge later tonite,and link it here.
