  • 100 Tang community upgrade !

    Ok so iv been wanting to get a bigger tank for my Tanganyika community tank. And yesterday we moved it and delivered it to my apt.
    Special thanks to a few friends who helped in the moving
    SunnyHouTX - Sunny
    New_cichlid11 - Luis
    d1c3r - Josiah

    So the tank is a 210, 72-24-30.
    Im going to put a lil work into this thing before setup is completed, stands getting painted black. The laft side will be blue as well as the back so itll have a double background. Itll have pool filter sand and i think im gona go with some big pieces of lace rock in this one. Ill be making a nice canopy for it too. Not sure on the lighting yet, still pondering that one. Gona filter it with a pair of Fx5s, and a 36 watt UV light. Its a work in progress right now but ill share as i move forward.

                  And to think after setup, ill be having some room for new fishies too! And an empty 100 for something else too. Can one really have too many tanks ? Naw

                            Working on this project this weekend. The left side of the left tank got painted already. Now im in the process of beefing up the stand a bit, and adding some shelves. Also removed the trim on the stand, going to redo that so that it covers the tank trim totally and has a nice look to the whole setup.

                              Very nice tank and love background color. what light are you have in the tank? I have a tank a little bigger but the light it not bright enough to show the background (DIY light I need redo next week). Donovan, you are lucky man you have a lot great friend help you out in hobby ( only me and my 6 year old daughter in here) . I wish one day I move to Houston Area. Can not wait see your tank complete.
