Pics of my Tats/Gar/Ray

[west1]

Just thought I'd post a few old picks (I've posted on MFk, but not here)
Also some pics of my new 300gl tank running when I picked it up on Easter 2008 (currently in storage now, due to re-modeling my house:grinyes

Pics 4-7 are from the new 300 acrylic and the others are from my old glass 150
Only had the 300 up for about 2-3 weeks before shutting down, so I never got to add everything in the tank (sand etc...) like I plan to. Just knew I was going to re-model so I am waiting till its done. Then I will get the tank running and with the decor I want:grinyes:

By the way... Tats are 8.5", Gar 14", Ray 7"

Nice fish! Be careful of the hood on that acrylic tank; if it's like mine (looks identical) then it's prone to excessive torsion and cracking.

Nice pics.

Realy??? They are from a camera phone. I think they are weak pics, but you can see what I'm taking pics of

Yeah, I noticed when I broke it down that the right side of the top is curving up:angryfire:. How do you fix this??? It is a TruVu acrylic tank. I thought they were top of the line tanks???

amazing tank, west.

Thank you

If there's a plastic shop in the area, they can probably fix it and add some braces; I wouldn't try that canopy as a first DIY acrylic repair job.

I'm considering building two 4-foot plywood canopies to replace my single 8-foot acrylic. It's just poorly engineered. I don't remember now who the manufacturer was.

Im not following you on the DIY job?? You mean if I replace the top acrylic bymyself???? If so, NO WAY!!!! I couldnt drill a crooked hole if I tried:rofl:. No realy, I dont want to even attempt to fix it myself and "What if I messed up..."
As for my canopy, right on top of the overflow where the canopy is it is starting to slope down. I am either going to add a nice 3" thick pc of metal and drill it on or I'm going to drill some wood on the canopy to support the weight. The canopy is freaking heavy!!!!!!!!!!
