My 180 Tank Thread!

[seamonkey]

this thread is an inspiration. i am going to be printing it so that i can use it for later reference on how to set up another tank in the future. the 75g we just set up looks like a nightmare, although functions quite well, but I guess we are just learning by "trial through fire", lol...

Believe my first tank was a huge mess too. Even with my current set up I can see so much room for improvement. I found that the key is patience and never rushing. Haste will lead you to having to spend more time correcting the errors. Good luck! Pictures are on the way I promise!

Allan,

This is one one of the most comprehensive tank threads on this site. Great job!!!!

 

[PalmTree]

Hey Jon.. I have no idea what it is! I've been meaning to remove it but it does not seem to do any harm nor good. I think its probably some sort of algae or something of that nature.

 

[PalmTree]

Thanks Leslie! Very kind of you!

Great looking tank Allan!!:usa1: Now, could you please tell me what fish is that in the pic below. Looks like an eel, but it has fins. :scratchch

 

[PalmTree]

Hey Awilda. Its an engineer goby. He's one of my favorite fish.
