| About Yourself: |
Enter in a Petsmart following my girlfriend who wanted to get some food for our kitty. Got lost in the fish/aquarium section...whining for a tank for a week and finally got into it with a 10gallons. Since then I bought a 30 gallons that I'm struggling to run (I grow algae in it ...) and a 5.5gallons that I use as a breeder( this is not working as well ! ).
I guess I used all the foot print allowed by my girlfriend so if I want to upgrade we will need to find a bigger place ! |
| Advice: |
may be one day I will be able to give one |
| Fish Kept: |
7 Paracheirodon innesi (neon tetra), 3 Hyphessobrycon eques (serpae tetra), about 10 Neocaridina denticulata sinensis ( red cherry shrimp ), 2 Otocinclus affinis, 1 Crossocheilus siamensis (true SAE). One shrimp sold as an amano shrimp but it isn't. |

| Description: |
Start running end of october 2007.
10 gallon, with aqua clear 30 filtration ( no carbon ), 2 fluoescent bulbs 15watts on for 11 hours a day ( one 6700K and one 5500K). DIY changed every 15 days.

I don't use I background since the tank is in the "middle" of the room so that I can enjoy from everywhere :) |

My Tank |
| Quote: |

| About Yourself: |
Retail manager. I came across this site looking for inspiration for my tank. |
| Advice: |
Be diligent and consistent with tank maintenance. Patience is a must. If you don't like it now you're probably never going to like it. Research full grown plant size and base your layout off of this. Pay attention to your fish, if they are stressed then the plants probably are too. Avoid pet stores that sell terrestrial plants as aquatic - mondo grass, Acorus, Spathephyllum sp? These will survive for a while and then die. Have a plan! Have fun it's a hobby. |

| Description: |
75 gallon. CO2 with controller. EI ferts. 260 watts CF lighting over open tank (no versa top or hood). Eheim Pro Model 2026 cannister filter. Change 40% of water per week. Feed fish 1x/day as much as they will eat in about 30 seconds. I feed a little more right before I change the water. The fish seem to know this now! |

150 Gallon Freshwater Aquarium |
| Advice: |
Do it. You'll learn alot!! Research everything you do before you do it!! I started from a couple pieces of glass and wood and made something great out of it. AND it all costed way less than if I had bought it all new. To see a final finished product that is beautiful and functional- It's well worth the time. All in all it's a great do it yourself project- a large do it yourself project. Especially when you live in an apartment complex and have to do alot of the construction your apartment and outside on a small slab. Would have been much easier in a garage. However, I am very happy with the results. It's something that fools everyone who looks at it and asks where I got it. I reply "Well... I made it. Yeah, the tank too." |
| Fish Kept: |
Domestic: (store bought- only I didn't buy any of my fish. friends and family gave these to me)
huge frontosa- named "big head todd", peacock bass, livingstoni, green severum, columbian shark, channel cat, 3 plecos, managuense, yellow lab, creamcycle chiclid.
Wild Caught: (right out of local streams of va beach! just remember to acclamate the wild fish first.)
white pearch, 2 croppy, blue gill, warmouth, |
| Plants Kept: |
I tried live plants... way too much work for a large tank. Unless you like constant upkeep. I have all fake plants- but instead of buying them for a million dollars from a store. I went to a craft store and bought a bunch of fake plants. I cut them up and used glue gun to glue lava rocks to the bottoms. Use non toxic glue gun sticks. |
| Tank Size: |
150 |
| Description: |
This is my 150 Gallon Freshwater tank. I custom made the tank, stand and hood. As well as most of the fake plants in the tank. It has taken about 5 months from start to finish. (may 08- sept 08) The tank too so long to complete bc I didn't buy everything from the store brand new. I found what I needed online, on sale, ebay, and craigslist. You would be surprised at how many people are selling or giving away things like gravel, stone, and even fish! I don't think I spent one penny on fish. Some were given to me and the others were caught from the wild. For filtration I'm using an Eheim canister filter and a Marineland biofilter as well as an intank filter powerhead. Plenty of aerotors. 2- 36" twin tube high pressure lights. When I built the tank I left the center open so I could put lights underneath the tank and shine up through broken glass in place of gravel. It works nicely for an underlit effect. Something you don't see often. |
