Ok..Here is my attempt at posting pics of my tanks as prompted by my beautiful wife.

The first is my 29 gallon. 3 WPG-DIY Lighting. DIY Co2. Eheim Canister.A school of Cardinal's, 2 Balloon Rams, 2 True SAE's, 10 Little CRS, 2 Amano Shrimp, Lotza Ramshorns, Lotza Pond Snails.

The Second is my QT tank, upcoming CRS breeder. It is a 14 Gallon High. 2 WPC Compact 6700k, DIY Co2, Custom Canister (my own media...patent pending). 5 Harlequin Raspbora's, 2 Albino Cories, 1 Walmart Neon, and Lotza Snails!

I have a horrible Camera to take pics with! Thanks for looking. (why am I embarassed to show these off?):headshake2:

Very nice! Healthy looking. Do you have a link for the DIY lighting?

[mphunk]

No I just read through some threads here and melded them together. There are so many ways to do it, I found the fun was in the design and installation! But cost wise, you can't compare!

Thanks! I wish I had pics of my Rams and the little cherries...they are my favorites.

The substrates are a mix of flourite, eco complete, and some local river sand/quartzite.

The forgrounds plants are drawf sags...if you are in the Bay Area...come and get some! They are prolific!

Don't be embarrassed to show them off at all!! Your tanks are amazing!!!

[mphunk]

Thanks!
My power went out for 12 hours yesterday and my nitrates blew up. I woke to gasping fish and all the snails at the top water line. I did a 50% water change with RO and everything is fine now.

Our tanks are always 12 hours away from disaster!
