Very nice looking tank. I love all the colors.

Thanks buddy!

That's a redneck hillbilly return spraybar I made out of PVC. No more dead spots in the tank.


Here's a pic of the piece-o-driftwood. That's my size 14 slipper for size reference.

Good looking centerpiece! Is there a canister filter hidden away somewhere? How does the filtration work? The world needs answers!

(pretty please!)

@Erin O thread has it in there. I believe its an fx4 mod spray bar.

I have an FX6 and @sfin52 is right as the spray bar mod would work on a FX4, FX5 or FX6.

And this is what happens to a dull masonry bit when I am bound and determined to drill through 6 - 5/8ths thick porcelain tiles.
(Mostly because I didn't want to search my masonry drill bit pouch for a diamond bit.)

Throwing things back together now and will post a completed pic when finished.

But did you drill through it lol

we have a 110g rated HOB filter on our 65g fw, and I added a little wavemaker that I got for my sw and didn’t use. Still have to vacuum the gravel, the pleco takes giant poops!

As you can see, the background has mostly held up well

Looks good especially with that custom background! Seriously, though, it's nice.

I have a 48", 6 lamp, T5 that I was going to build a custom hood for and then build my own CO2 system and go high-tech. However, due to some unknowns about what we're doing with moving, I've held off with those plans.

Those are some nice fw tank

Thanks! It could use a 50g water change

it’s been running for over 2 years now. Just carbon, biomedia, and a sponge. The plants grow SO MUCH, I’ve thrown away at least as much as what you see in the pics.

do you have a saltwater as well?

Rachel (my SO) set it up, she really knows what she’s doing. I just take care of it lol

 

[sfin52]

I had a t5 sitting basement from the as tank. Just put it on my fw. That makes a huge difference. Thanks for the idea.

How many gallons is that? Talk about heavily planted, I bet it hardly ever needs cleaning

Do you have some blue/actinic lights for that as well? I bet your substrate would fluoresce like crazy!

Sometimes I respond even when not asked nicely...

Very rarely does it need cleaned. I dose flourish once a week. I do need more fish
