popik Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) I already had a bunch of Electric blue females (11 to be exact haha) so theres 3 in there now. I added a Red Empress and have a few Daphodil Pulchers in there. Next weekend i will meet up with Fairdeal and add to the 6 Yellows i got from him last time we met with a couple Blues, about 4 blue dolphins and a couple eureka reds. Dont want to get too crazy with load as i would like to raise these fish to maturity and have them all grow together. Leons show tank was definately an inspiration as it is probably one of the nicest i have seen and respect the fact that he built his own cabinet as well.

Boom Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) Looks excellent! Very good work on the stand and canopy. Out of curiousity, what made you choose aspen for the trim? Not really a common wood. Boom :boom: Edited October 23, 2008 by Boom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to add a joiner and planer to my shop...you can only do so much with a hand plane. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well like I said it looks good. I just picked up a jointer and planer earlier this year. Don't regret it at all, I use them all the time. My current project is cherry and walnut. Boom :boom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
