Unhealthy obsession?
The only problem I have with threads like these... It makes me want to go out and spend money on things that I can't afford. Going to subscribe to this one and live vicariously (sp?) through you if you don't mind. I think I may love the building of the tanks more than the finished products lol. Whenever I finish one I look around for a reason to start another. Beautiful work so far.

I didn't even notice what I was supposed to be looking at in that picture until I read the captions and it still took me a while to notice it! Hahaha

Beautiful stand. Since you have the stain already on hand, once you fill that hole and restain it, no one will ever know what happened.

It looks like a real nice setup, I look forward to seeing it finished.
Thanks. I'll probably have to rework some of piping, so I'm waiting until that time to unscrew it and fix it.

Coming along great!
Thanks!

You should see my basement. I've promised my wife that once I have this one setup and my 120g setup, I'll clear out the 300 sq ft occupied by fish stuff.

Very nice so far!

I'm excited about this. It's my first tank to really sit down and plan from the ground up.

Doing this would be the best job ever. I love setting it all up, the plumbing especially.

Ok....rather busy weekend, but I put together a little something:

Hardscape:



I moved the rocks just a bit during that actual scaping. Those stones are collected form the Eel River near the Humboldt Redwords in Northern California.

Scape:



Dry fill:




Pretty much all of the plants came from Phil Edwards. I shoved in a bunch of stems and other fast growers to get the cycle started. I need to tweak things a bit before a full tank shot.

Well, my Ecco burned out on me....long story.

I returned it and replaced it with a Classic 2217. Man, is that thing a beast! It's pretty awesome and works PERFECT.

The flow is just a tad high, but I didn't put as much filter floss in it as a normally do. Next time I open it up, I'll put some more in and it'll be just right.
