    Update time. So with the exception of the tank i cracked, their all don and painted. Pvc hace been fully painted and plants are in for visual looks and added security hiding for fish. The filters received special attention yesterday and ill post some pics and explain what i did with those. But as of right now the tanks are ready for fry. I just need to figure out something easy/cheap for some lights. So far iv got two tanks takin for sure with brevis in one and some lepidiolamp hecqui in the other. Again these are going to be grow out tanks to raise and sell fry. So no gravel for easy poop cleaning.

    Yes they should sink. I used to work in a shop that used them.

    Soon to come- ornatipinnis, and caudopunctatus

    Yea, going to leave them bare so i can clean em easy. Just use a small hose to suck up all excess food and poops. Not trying to make show tanks outa these just to raise n sell fry from.

    Ok so this weekend i did work on this project. Got all my pvc glued together, painted, and attached plants to them for a decorative look and added color. Filters are all running in other tanks to start the building of bacteria.

    So i got all my pvc and did some cutting and gluing yesterday night. Very simple and cheap for hiding places. Going to attach some plants for color and visual appeal

    Make sure to search the fine print for spray can attack coverage.
