So you had to cut a hole in the floor and ceiling for piping?!?!?!

Beautiful looking tanks, very impressive.

LOL Gouramis, I've had nothing but problems with them, perhaps I just managed to find the two most hostile ones in the state.

You should check out: http://aquatropicalfish.com/forum/in...referredby=724 if you're looking for a nice fish forum that focuses on freshwater (although we have a saltwater section as well) and that'll answer your questions and has friendly staff, I mod. the Saltwater section.

And I spy an UnderOATH poster, that therefore, makes you awesome =P

Tanks look great! Can't wait to see the 120 all done with the fish in it. I love my 55 gallon African Cichlid tank. I have 20 Lake Malawi Cichlids in it. And for forums, I like the Malawi Mayhem site. http://www.malawimayhem.com/

Great score on the 120 by the way. My bf has been on the look out for that kind of deal. We have 2 55 and 1 100 but he wants a 120 or bigger to add so he can move all the Oscars to one tank. I keep hearing about people finding these great deals so it gives us hope we will find one too.

Great job and look forward to more pictures in the future!

haha nooo no no. we just finished our basement last year and put a bath room in. so since we used to be on our own septic system we had to get switched over to the sewer for the new bathroom see that is sits lower than our septic tank. so thats what the black pipe is. so yeah i pretty much have everyones poo flowing down a pipe thats in my room... bahah.



and thanks for the nice comments guys!

and ill def check out those forums as well :p

[Patrick Long]

So what is flowing into the sewer line? your waste water? You have a sump? Im confoozed??

LOL


Super clean though, for sure

when i do water changes that lines has a permanent suction in it so i just open the valve and it drains.

Whoa; those are awesome setups! I especially like how the first one, looks like a living, moving photo on the wall. Super-awesomeness all around. Makes me miss my big tanks.. I do have a 10g to setup once we move.. sigh, hehe.

thx! yeah most everyone who comes in my room loves that tank as well. im still more partial to the cichlids just cuz ive put so much money into them and still im not done :p.

well just an update;

got the 120 up and running and put the fish in the night before last. they seem to be doing great. i actually lost two of them but thats kind of expected when switching over to a new tank with a lot of new water. and 2 out of about 30 isnt a lot :p.

ill get picks when the water clears up more.
