gBOYsc2 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Very nice! You got some nice red cherries there. I think I seen this on TPT? Since you got those nice Lily pipes in there and an rimless could I suggest you get a Hydor ETH and it would look spectacular! I'd be interested in Christmas moss. I'll pm you.

Ron Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Nice set up, where did you get the pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gBOYsc2 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) They look like Do!aqua lily pipes but they could be ADA or even really good knock offs and I would guess from Aqua Forest Aquariums or ADG SHop. :P Edited February 9, 2011 by gBOYsc2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyGrl Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 i would love to get a hydor eth heater, we are looking for the 1/2 inch one, if you know of anywhere that sells it shout out. big als online is out of stock.. the lily pipes where custom made by Paul from the planted tank he made me 2 custom shrimp safe pipes. i won them. those cherries are stock from my from friend in edmonton. she has tanks over run with them. she was kind enough to keep them for me until i got my tank set up. i was going to wait to set up until i had a proper stand but i was to impaitent. lol i want to get some dario darios for this tank.. if anyone knows of someone locally that breeds them pm me. otherwise ill have to wait until spring/summer to get some shipped in. i want all red creatures. i was thinking if i could find a tall enough rock that sticks out of the water i could get some red crabs.. (i know nothing about crabs) i think they are cool tho. this tank is still in the process of growin in and i do want a backround plant of some sort, ive been scouring the pages of the internet for the perfect plant and im not satisfied with any i have found so far... the search continues. it looks cool with out anything so i dont mind leaving it for now.

Ron Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Pets and Ponds has the 200 watt Hydor ETH with 1/2" inlet/outlet, need to spend $200 for free shipping or pay the $8.99 shipping charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyGrl Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 thank you ron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gBOYsc2 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Being that the tank looks like it's on an "island or peninsula" I think it looks good with no background. Ever considered doing an iwagumi? You got the rocks already. ... and WOW those are some nice custom lily pipes. The outflow looks exactly like some of the ADA models. Is Paul from Canada?

SkyGrl Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) paul is from oregon. he is one of the best fish guys i know.. always paying it forward! helping any one who needs it. whn i got those pipes in the mail... i was SO excited!!! oh man! i wanted to use them right away but had no filter at the time to put them on. he made the intake holes small so that shrimp wouldnt be sucked into the filter. he is so thoughtful. i did have it set up as iwagumi before i added the water and the other half of the substrate. but i needed a few more rocks and i rushed this tank setup because we anted to tear down the other 15 gallon the shrimps where waiting in. we are TRYING to downsize... but it just doesnt seem to be happening. Amy pics of tank before: scape 1 scape 2 i wasnt really happy with these.. im just to nit-picky i think Edited February 9, 2011 by SkyGrl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gBOYsc2 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes those are the ones I seem to recall seeing on TPT. Is his name just "Paul" on TPT? Does he make those for anyone at the right price? I would be interested in getting a custom set made for my MIni S. I am waiting for AFA to get some in but they have been out of stock for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyGrl Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 no his name was onefang but he is banned. nikki said she would get back to me to see if paul minded giving his e-mail out. when i hear from her ill let you know.

gBOYsc2 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks SkyGrl that would be great! Why was he banned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceturf Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I would be interested in getting a custom set made for my MIni S. I might also be interested, if you didn't mind letting me know as well. -- By the way, your cherry tank is very appealing. Simple yet interesting to look at, the clarity does it well.

SkyGrl Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) he was opinionated about tom barr... im sure he would be happy to make some for anyone who wants them. shipping was only 11$ Edited February 10, 2011 by SkyGrl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
