PICS TOMORROW!!!
Co2 system was canceled for order as some parts were out of stock, but it is arriving within 2 weeks:)
Stocking change, I have only 2 angels left, which are sold, and being shipping to NY next week. There are 4 discus, as one died, but the remaining have regained their colors, and are looking great. I have a hi fin blue cobalt discus which I bid on aquabid 2 weeks ago coming in soon;)
Hardly any plants left in tank except java fern.

FINALLY
We got a new house, it is gigantic! 5 Bed room House with 3 car garage so guess what! Fishroom!!! I get 1/4 of the garage(the walls!) for fish tanks. So, I am starting it out with 3 55Gs, 2 10Gs, and 1 20G!!!!!!!!!!!!
So excited, we move in after the 30 day waiting period thing;)

I am moving the breeding tanks first, and once all the new furniture, and stuff gets in, the 72G. OMG, that is going to be a PITA, and a whole day operation.

you get a wall in your garage for your tank, and i get5 feet of wall for mine! lucky!
 
Yeah, but that is at almost 15, spending my own money, paying my dad 20% profot a month($10), and doing tons of work:)

This is what I was planning to do for my own house before we bought the newer bigger one.


a 5ft long X 2ft deep X 6ft tall rack with 3 55Gs, and 3 10Gs or 6 20Gs and 3 10Gs or mix n match:)

Lots of tanks;)

Great plan too!
We were going to use strong tie connectors(hold up to 1000lbs per shelf, use 1.5" plywood for shelves and 2X4s for the rest
 
Update:

So, my rainbow platy died, no big surprise, it has been alive with me since it was a baby, so 2.5 years, which i think is really long for a platy. So, Co2 coming soon, but is only going to be setup once we move, or maybe before. I took the GLA Choice Complete System. Also my hi fin cobalt discus is coming in soon. And the discus I have are NOT STUNTED:) they are healthy and happy. Doing a major replant after Co2 gets setup.
 
cool! how long have you been keeping fish?
 
since my dad bought my brother and me a 20G starter kit from petco for XMAS 2.5 years ago. That platy was my first fish. My dad has his regrets now on fish. And thinks a dog could have been easier as there is no MDS(multiple dog syndrome). ;)

Well, I can only get a hypo allergenic dog, as my little bro. is allergic. And my mom hates dogs and cats, but they love her:)
 
LOL, ive been keeping them for a year, in total. i took a break a while ago. my first fish was a betta named Finny. he was awesome. ;)
 
well, at least u have a dog, I wanted a snake or a lizard, but my mom thinks they will escape into the house;)

I have cared for snakes and geckos at a local YMCA but not in my own house. We might go to the spca to look for 1 or 2 dogs.
 
lol same with my mom, and shes also terrified of cats.

if your gonna get a dog, get an english springer spaniel. their adorable and smart. its cute how ours follows everybody around. she doesnt like to be lonely. :)

we also have a hamster, wich we got when i got my lizard loaches. it was free. at petland, you get a free pet if oyu go to or have a party there, but all you can get for free is a hermit crab, hamster, or betta. i wouldve chose the betta, but i didnt go. my little bro did.

well, it recently escaped, and was running around our house for a hole day before we found him. :rofl:
 
yeah, that happened in our YMCA when I was 10, our rabbit escaped, our gecko, and our snake in the same week. The leader loved animals. I was in charge of caring for a guinea pig, 2 hamsters, a super fat white poop machine(bunny), 2 geckos, a boa, and a parrot;)
it was crazy


if ur mom is scared, then how did u get a dog. my dad had 4 dogs as a child, but my mom won't let us go get one, she says that either she stays in our family or the dog does:(
