Vallisneria Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Very nice, good job on the stand I really like the look of the rocks. What kind are they? Just a grey lava rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefishdude Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Very Nice Stand :thumbs: I really like the fact that it is viewable from all sides - and the cabinet doors are on both sides too SWEET SETUP.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahim101 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Nice stand... I see no evidence of filters....what are you using?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finaddict Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Its running a eheim pro with the intake and spray bar at the end by the wall. Also an 802 powerhead helps circulate along the length of the tank. It has quite good flow for all being at one end. I love having it all hidden like that though...

ABwildrose Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 very nice job!!! Pass my compliments to your husband for the stand. Nice choice of rocks too. What kind of fish is that first one you pictured. Yellow with the black on the top fin, the pale blue on the side with 4 verticle stripes on his side. I have one exactly like that.

finaddict Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) Thanks Ab Wildrose, I bought him at tanks alot, I thought he was a ps. franzilbergi, but african ferver said probley not as they r quite rare... He is a very dominant fish with lots of color.... so not 100% sure??? Edited July 17, 2005 by finaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABwildrose Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 mine is very dominant too. He likes to breed with the yellow labs, so I am thinking he is a saulosi/yellow lab hybrid. When I saw yours, I was hoping perhaps he was something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic_Aquariums Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 That is a great looking tank/stand you guy's have! I like all of it-the oak, design, tank, and the rocks! Cool idea of having it so viewable, and the livestock look wonderful too! A job WELL done on both of your parts! Rob (Awesome final budget too, BTW. How much did the rock cost per pound?)
