Vallisneria Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Cool looking tank I'd like to hear more about the background/caves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajays Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Thanks Art for posting the pictures and all the positive comments. I will pay you off later, lol. This is a 125 tank c/w 2 XP3. The background is 11/2" Styrofoam with river rock bought at the local landscape supplier. It is all held on with silicone. Sand is Granusual (spelling) blasting sand. In the tank there is 36 Haps, Peacocks and Mumba 11/2 inch to 3 inch, also 2 albino Bristlesnose . Stand is home built from 2x4's and Wainscoting. Working on my new 65 now.

Vallisneria Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 So the background doesn't have any built in caves/holes? Its just solid styrofoam and rocks? How did you add that little outcropping in the first pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajays Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Val, there is a little cave in the top picture with a Yellow lab in it. There is also a cave in the bottom right side. plus the center cave structure is blocked off with rock in the middle making a cave at each end. The outcropping in the top picture with the Yellow lab is made from 3 pieces of Styrofoam. The fish also can go in each end where my heaters and filter pick ups are. I cut eggcrate out in places. I was considering making new covers without big enough holes to let the fish in. But I think this will lead to to much aggression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Is the substrate the sand you picked up from Sil Industries NW of Edmonton? Do they have the same size in darker colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajays Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) I don't really know as I was looking for white sand. They are a sandblast media supplier. But this is the sand I got from them. Edited December 23, 2005 by seajays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
