Kyryah's Tank Photo Thread

[kyryah]

Here is my soon-to-be Discus tank

I found a PERFECT piece of wood to serve as a baffle to hide my equipment, and installed it in the right hand corner. I had a bit of a malfunction with the background - I am not sure what happened, but when I applied the third coat of paint it bubbled in some spots. I waited the appropriate amount of time and cleaned the glass prior and everything. I was to impatient to razor it off and start again, so I went with it. I think that once I have all the wood in place and the plants fill in, it will look just fine.

Updated pictures of the moss wall? I'm curious as to how long its takes to grow one.

The rough paint job is actually kind of eye catching in the photo, not sure how different it looks with direct eye sight....

Well, the shelves on the moss wall did not work. They blocked too much light beneath the shelves and the moss did not grow properly there. I have since removed the shelves, but the moss got so long that it still blocks the light to the lower regions. I will snap a pic later on and post it - my plan is actually to shear all the moss off the front of the wall and allow it to regrow. I will take some of the stuff I cut off and possibly repack the lower portions.

Actually, it really doesn't look that bad. I have made quite a few changes to the tank (even more than this picture shows, I'll put up more later)

Also, I am no longer going to stock it with discus. I have decided on apistogramma barlowi, and possibly a couple of other pairs of apistos as well.

All your tanks are so cool, Kristina. I like the effect of the bubbled paint job, too. I swear... your place is filled with the coolest tanks and creatures, inside and outdoors. I don't know how you do it. I love looking at everything, you have such a variety. If your house was a bed and breakfast I'd book a week in it and spend my days just zoned out, looking at all the critters. (You should have the music from the youtube vids playing all the while, too, lol)

Thanks I have been told more than once that I should start charging admission, lol. The neighborhood kids are convinced it is the Zoo here.
