bosshog Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Nice Mermaid. Tank looks good. Why did you put the overflows on the end? Just curious. Getter full and show us some pics. By the way you've got a serious problem if you've only been at this a while and have a tank like that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalray Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I know i have a spending problem when it comes to hobbies. my racing has cost me well over 30,000 over the last 2 years. my r/c planes and trucks etc.... a few more grand. and as for fish tanks. lol dont even go there. even though i got this set up at a steal of a deal. $1300. lol The overflows were already on the ends when i purchased the tank. plus it gives more room inside the tank. the in tank overflows cuts down on the volume in the tank. i will post tons of pics when it it done i plan on starting the plumbing tommorrow. as for the arowanas not sure yet a silver one i have no clue yet. who ever has the best fish at the best price. but wont settle for one at the stores here. there is nothing wrong with the stores here but for some reason i have been gettign alot of attitude from employees at some of the stores. or they snubb me off to talk to co workers. no offence Big Als has been great to me. For product wise etc.. but some employees shouldnt be working there. just my 2 cents and sorry if it offends, if it does let me know through a pm and i will change this post.

Dalray Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 So since there will be 4 stingrays in the tank , my buddy and all his wisdom has decided weather i like it or not 2 of them are pre named. one will be Steve and another Irwin. bad joke yes some it may humor but others it will not.

newbie2 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Any opportunity for a Steve Irwin joke is a good opportunity. in my opinion.

Dalray Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 the tank is filled and the pump works, now all i have to do is add lights sand and let it cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-man Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 What kind of screen do you have on your overflows? It looks black is it the white egg crate plastic just painted or did they use something else? Just curious as I just had mine done and it's white egg crate plastic but black looks better.

Dalray Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 its black in color but i will be modifying it as i will be having sand in it and dont want it going into the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
