Outstanding start! I sure hope you'll try some black-green plastic backing to hide the wires-- the kind you get in big sheets at the Hobby Hovel or whatever. Or get a section of dark plastic open mesh stuff (what do they really do with this stuff? hook rugs or what?) and get Java Moss growing in a curtain... too detailed?

I hope this is the first of a series of photos you plan to post.

Ditto on the pictures.... that is a beautiful piece of driftwood.

Thanks, the tank used to have fake coral in it, I hated it finaly after a year I got the driftwood for christmas. The plants are fake I wish I could getting live plants but I realy can't aford better lighting. I was thinking about get a teracota pot and smearing some Aquarium safe silicone on it and sprinkling grabel around it, It would make a nice cave. But it's still missing something I dono what, the fish of course. But I mean decor.


About the backround, my mom thinks the green is nice in the back gives it a natural color, she doesn't like does fake pictures you put behind it. Maybe a green piece in the back would lookd good or blue.

Very nice pic, and I love that driftwood. ;)

You might want to get a bigger filter... Is that an emp 280? I'm not sure, but, it would prolly be nicer with a bigger filtration system.... But that's just my opinion...

[Orbitorly]

Yes it is an Emperor 280, I was thinking of getting another and sticking it on the other side.

[Sum-X]

Yep... that's what I'd do. ;)

[Orbitorly]

Or get a Emperor 400 and replacing the 280 ?

[Sum-X]

That's probably the choice I would make but... Most emp 400 come to be around $100.00 and well, that's not pocket cash. I think buying another 280 would be a waste of money personally... Get an emp400, and save the 280 for when you get another tank. ;)

But then again all of this is my opinion... Many others have theirs. Ask about it in FW equipment, You're sure to get answers there. :)

The 400 's are about 45 dollars.Nice tank good luck with it!

[Sum-X]

They're that much online... In stores their usually around $80 - $100

[Orbitorly]

I'm not sure If I can fit a 400 on there

[Huyzel]

i am settin up my 55 that i got used.
it came with a ehiem 2213, and i just purchased an emperor400 and it fits on there quite nicely.

have fun,
Huy

[Sum-X]

yea it should fit fine.

[Orbitorly]

Well, it matters what hood you have, on mine I might have to cut somemore space in the back.

BTW: Meeki Man - in the gen chit chat post "Mugshots" is that a pic realy you ?

[Sum-X]

Not the Woman... That's Aquaria Addictus

I am however the one in the yellow shirt, eating calamari. ;)

[Sum-X]

Oh yea... Since ur hoods like that, I'd prolly consider another 280, just for that reason. ;)

He also has a UGF too.

The Emp 400 is only 36.99 at Big Al's. I plan on getting 2 from them for my tank.

[Sum-X]

Who has a UGF?

[NJ Devils Fan]

under gravel filter

[NJ Devils Fan]

Woops, he just informed me that he doesn't, in that case, a Emp 400 would do nice, maybe even with the Emp 280.

I know what a UGF is... Who has one? :confused:

[NJ Devils Fan]

Oh, sorry, Orbitorly had something about a UGF in his old website and I though that he meant he had one in his tank.

[Sum-X]

Gotcha! ;)
