Post Your Aquarium

[Macman45]

Remember this is a slow hobby, it is always best to take your time and not rush. It's never easy to lose a living thing but take it as a learning experience and try to figure out which parameters were out of whack. Just practice good habits and try to learn from your mistakes, best of luck!

Along those lines, I wasted to post some time lapse photos of my mixed reef tank.

The time lapse idea is a great one...I thinkI will do an overnight on my neighbours giant tank...Set the camera up on a tripod,SO much goes on overnight when you can't see much and the lights are off. Will have to experiment with shutter etc, but he has stuff that only ever comes out at night.

Wow what a great tank!

I am scanning a bunch of old negatives and came across some of my first homemade aquariums.

This was my second build (the first was a Lisaquarium). It's an Apple 2 Page Monochrome Display. I built it in 1995, that monitor cost $2000+ when new in the late 80s. This was always one of my favorites. I built it so it would still swivel, but (obviously) not tilt.

I built a Macintosh TV aquarium, I think this was 1996. This bad boy had its light in tube running the length of the tank along the bottom. If I find any pics of the lighting, I'll post them. It was stupidly dangerous.

Note, I didn't destroy a Mac TV to build this. I was running the service department at an Apple store in those days and ordered all the case plastic as repair parts. The black keyboard was there just for the day courtesy of a customer's machine that was in for repair.

More if I find them!

Zoa colony, right. Open brain coral, center/left

That brain is sick! Are those Dragon Eye Zoas?

Picked up a Red Sea Star for the mixed reef tank.



After I found my Chocolate Chip Starfish devouring my GSP colony he's been banished to my larger FOWLR tank for the time being. Grrr....

Beautiful picture and tank. What kind of fish are those little guys? I think I have the same ones.

 

[wrinkster22]

would love to see more tanks!

Nothing new with my tank. Everyone seems to have settled down and no more deaths to report. My Cichlids starting to grow which is fun to watch.

Chrono- Any updates with your tank??

I'd love to get a saltwater aquarium someday. Hopefully if I land this software development job I'm after I'll be able to get one.

Can you tell/link where you picked up this aquarium? Or any other details would be great. Love the very clean look.

My new 20 gallon planted tank. Got the tank, filter and heater for $30 on craigslist.

First day of cycling started yesterday. I am going for the "Iwagumi" look and will post more pictures when or if it works out.

I planted some Java Moss to carpet.. Planning on getting two more plant strains before adding fish.

Thanks. I had a feeling it was from picoaquariums, they make awesome tanks. I've been trying to talk the fiancee into a nano reef setup, if I show her yours she might just let me...

Beauftil setup! What do you have planned for the future with that tank?

Good luck! If you get one tell Chris I recommended you

Thanks. It will largely be mini maxis and acans. The one fish I plan to get is a platinum percula. I have few weeks if not longer before the tank is ready for any livestock. I'm in no rush!

Feeding Godzilla



Godzilla is my pet salamander (aka waterdog or mudpuppy). He lives in my 20 gallon "swamp" tank. He looked like a giant tadpole when I got him but then grew legs. He loves earthworms but doesn't have any teeth so he literally has to wrestle them and swallow them alive. Sometimes it will take him all day to defeat the worm.

Here's the latest update of mine. Going to be tearing it all down in 6 weeks after the new tank is built.

Very nice! I'm afraid of having that many plants because I'd not know how to clean them if I had an algae outbreak. I love the look though.

I have been thinking about making a eMacquarium lately. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could make this look good on a small budget? I already have the eMac case.
