  • 210 Gallon Geophagus Sanctuary (Updated Pics 10/13/2012)

    Well I was wanting to down grade from my 150 gallon to 125/135 gallon. Ended up getting an offer to upgrade I couldnt resist. Enter my newest tank a 210 Gallon RR.

    Ran around like crazy getting everything ready to get this trade done today. I really wanna thank all of those who offered to help but had to work today (SunnyHouTX, Beto, Josephavela). I known very well for having the patience of a gnat, and was talking to Aggrocichlidfan about my up and coming trade. With a few colorful words he convinced me to man up and that we could get it. Hello sore back. Wish I would have had the extra man power above.

    Anyways, finally got my newest money pit. More pics will follow, but for now these will have to do.

    Heres a list of what I have so far:

    210 Gallon RR Aquarium
    210 Gallon Aquarium Stand and Canopy
    150 lbs of LPS (may need to get another bag, dont want to go to deep though)
    Eheim 2260
    Wet/Dry of undertermined actual size. However its too small I know.
    2 sheets of eggcrate
    250-300W Heater

    Stuff on the I need to get list:
    Parts and peices for the glass tops
    Bigger wet/dry and pump
    Another 2260 down the road
    Decor (havent menatlly worked that one out yet
    Lighting(probably two 36" L.E.D'S

    First things first, fill it!!!!!

    Next, clean the back for some fresh paint.

    Pic of the stand. Needs to be cleaned but that will have to wait for th AM. Ill be doing some bracing to the stand. I know these style stands and while I trust it, Ill feel better when Im done with it.

      Looks nice. Are you going to put guppies in there?

      Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
      Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

            Georgia they were supposed to be here today. Barrett's patience has been stretched thin... Shipper is being very helpful and very nice about everything though.

                            Sounds like an awesome gumbo!

                            Na this was a shock of an upgrade. This is going to be my new geophagus sanctuary.
