PICS! 105 custom tall: aquabee's exit from the world of nanos

[aquabee]

So the one Geo is back with Truong?

Nice video Bee. I concur with Thai on this: wish I had more tanks

Thanks!! Yeah, she's at Truong's but I swapped her out for a new female. We'll see what her personality ends up being like. Hopefully I can get 2 pairs total out of the 5.

(In the Yoda voice) Hmmm, young fish keeper. For chair and dresser on left side of living room there is no need. Place extra stuff under bed you should. Think outside of the fish box you must. Consider the vertical dimension to expand your mind. http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/st...ing-72x24x96-2 3000 lbs per shelf are they. Nicely fit two of the 265 gallons http://www.marineland.com/sites/mari...l.aspx?id=3463 they would. Come in Starphire they can. For the bottom AC 110s, Canisters for the top for filtration you use. Sponge bath sufficient, it is. Repurposing bath tub consider you. Just saying is Yoda. The fish are strong in you I sense.

Fish Nazi Says...

Fish Nazi says "NO TROPE FOR YOU!".

On the bright side I really like the way you've stocked it in this latest version. From the video it looks like it has good balance. Are there any fish that would be predominantly top water dwellers that would work in that tank? I can't think of any--hatchets too small, arowanas too big and piscivorous, African butterflies too delicate. Any bristlenose or similar going in once the tank matures--or do the bottom dwelling geophagus preclude that?

I hope the majority of your tank's growing pains are behind you now, and you get many enjoyable, fret free hours sitting on the couch and gazing into your creation.

I suggested she get the regular silver hatchets... they are big enough.

Actually the vals did better than I thought. They were very easy to plant in the sand. The geos would literally yank em out from the base. In the areas where they couldn't reach the base of the vals, they actually stayed planted!

the one time i was using a silversand substrate the vals and swords went crazy, i think they really appreciate the fine substrates. i didnt have much flow going through there by todays standards or crazy fish though.

The silver hatchets you referred me to at FG woulda been OBLITERATED.

Haha thanks Harry! Actually the roselines are typically up top unless they see leftover food at the bottom. The silver dollars are in the middle, and the geos and corys on the bottom. I plan on maybe getting some butterfly plecos from Tim for now, but what I'm really holding out for are some Flash Plecos (L204). Hard to find these days though.

[eklikewhoa]

the ones I seen at petsmart were nice sized.

The silver dollars make my tank definitely very silver. If I went with hatchets, they'd hafta be marbled. The roselines are getting gorgeous though! Very bright noses... almost reminiscent of my rummies... RIP.

[eklikewhoa]

Yeah I like the marbled ones way more, never really bothered to look at the silvers.

I mayyyy have too much flow at the top of my tank for these guys.
