Too funny....what are those pretty blue fish you have in there ? I'm guessing some type of cichlid...nice color !

Love that big one you have there Deb.......I think we should have the AC picnic at YOUR house ! :D

I still think you need a picture with a size-identifyable object in the photo of that tank so you can actually tell how big it really is...like a endtable with a desk lamp on it.

If you -really- wanted to impress us, you can get the minature endtable and mini-lamp....

Honestly, how safe (for the fish) is if you take a bath in an aquarium?

Debra Mark

02-07-2006, 2:01 PM

Swim Fins - check

hey debra, if you're around. . . i really am curious how you do regular cleaning and stuff? you must have it plumbed in specially. . .? is your siphon tube taller than you?

or do you just hop in and swim around with the python? ( ;) )

I bet she would rather hop in with the pythonator :rolleyes:

I know shes got a tap plumbed in for fill ups....the lucky bum

Debra Mark

I don't recall any promises....I think you may have had too much to drink last night.....;)

Debra Mark

I bet she would rather hop in with the pythonator :rolleyes:

hahah...too bad I don't touch fish water....that would be mighty tempting...;)

I know shes got a tap plumbed in for fill ups....the lucky bum

yes....the filters are backwashed directly into the outgoing sewer...and the water lines are plumbed into the tank for fillups

my husband goes inside for glass cleaning and plant maintenance....I am the supervisor.... :cool:

does anyone ever take a taste or are they too used to him?

and i'm curious how big your iridecent shark is too?

thanks for indulging me!

LOL....they are used to him - if anything, they are always underfoot when he's in there...specially the big irridescent. The big ID is probably 22" and a tub!!! We recently got another smaller ID shark for company for him....he's about 10" and growing daily!

Nice tank tank debra. I recently modified my tank plumbing so the old water goes directly to the outside drain, and the tap is ready for fillin up in the filter sump. No more hoses needed.

A few days ago I was thinking what are your water change schedules. How much and how often, and where you get your water. If it's from the tap, how many gallons of dechlorinator you need per moth, and that kind of stuff.

I'm planning on winning the lottery next week, so I'm already designing my new tank and need some advice.

I'd love to swim in my fish tank for maintanance. That must be fun. Now for the forbidden question. How much did this tank set you back?

Debra Mark

02-28-2006, 2:37 PM

We do about a 600 gallon water change every 3 or 4 weeks...and we do go thru the dechlor...lol...usually buy it in the BIG jugs...

My hubby did ALL the work...and we got a lot of great deals....and we figure, without any labor, we've spent about $15,000....:eek:

I can't wait to go swimming in it..........wait didn't you say you recently stocked it with some of these:

Ugh, not those little buggers. I'm sure only the most fanatical "naturalist" would include them in a set-up. :p:

Beautiful and amazing tank! Do you charge admission for friends/family to come to see it? lol

All our friends/family are in shock and aww with our newest tank, the 125g african cichlid...I can only imagine what they'd say about a tank like that. :eek:

:bowing: Nice to see some Pacus well taken care of in a nice sized tank though too!

For those of you who are unaware, Deb's tank had major problems last night. You can find her post under the general freshwater forum. Really sad, her Pacu past.
