ORA acro pics

JuniorMC8704 · Apr 4, 2008

Just wanted to say im sorry for not being very active as of late, my wifes 8 months pregnant, a 2 1/2 year old with the flu, and a house that is half under construction. So bare with me, and ill do as much as i can when i can.

A buddy of mine owns a shop (no i will disclose, as that would be free promotion for a non-sponsor) and brought in a bunch of gorgeous ORA acros.

I finally got my photo tank set up...well temp set up anyways...fish room still under construction.

nothing too fancy, just never found the time until 1 this morning.

Just a simple 10 gallon tank that i skinned with the self adhesive blue background on the back and both sides. Then a 24" 4 bulb tek T5 fixture. right now i just siphon water from my system till its about half full. I will eventually drill and put a couple bulkheads in it, and tie it into my new system thats in the works, so its ready to go all the time.

When its all said and done i will have a 96" x 24" x 12" grow out system, 150 sump, 50 gallon remote fuge, 10 gallon photo tank for through the glass photography, and another oriented the opposite way way for top down shots with my top down box. Then another 3-6 20 gallon tanks plumbed together for cool inverts, and other animals that cant be housed in my main system. More or less 3-6 nanos. i.e. arrow crab tank, mantis tank, pom pom and sexy shrimp tank etc. Then a separated hospital tank for fish, and a separated tank for coral isolation for new corals...when all thats done, if I'm not to far in the poor house, a 72" x 36" x 26" display from miracles aquariums out of Canada...but thats going to be a ways off...
