got my glass for my 8x2x2 cut today for the top. fits perfectly. put the lights on with a makeshift stand till i get the box for them built just to see how it looks lite up for the first time. im rather pleased with the result but my pos camera wont do it justice lol.







while i was at it i tried to take some pics of the fish but it didnt turn out so good. i need a new camera badly.

im resisting the temptation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT!
That is such a great tank!
Any plans to add drift wood or some sort of bottom feeder clean up crew?

Nice set up Win...

Very nice Win! Looks awesome! Makin me jealous!

well actually... i would like to find two stone gargoyles... and put them in there lol. that would be awesome. thats what im looking for, if that falls thru ill put driftwood in. but for now next on my list of things to do is get a background, bc my babies dont show up too well against oak panneling lol. as for a cleanup crew from what ive read the SD's will help with that, but i have a lace synodontis im going to put in there when its bigger, its only about 3.5" now


and thanks everyone

Ah, didn't know that SD's help like that.
Only reason I ask is because I am a fan of big catfish haha Especially ones with nice patterns or cool looks.
Lace Synos are really nice! I had to decided between a Syno, and a Raphael. I liked that the Raphael was spiky.

lol i liked the spots more than stripes

lol ikkie that thing is only 6" tall, meaning 4-5" out of the gravel... im looking for a piece about 18" lol.

Nice tank! Come set mine up!!

Haha...I know...just thought it was kind of funny looking and thats the first pic I found when I searched for gargoyle! That thing would probably get eaten by your oscars! haha!

Do you have any lawn ornament places near you? I know there is a place here that has all sorts of cement and stone ornaments and they had some cool looking gargoyles when I went past this summer.

i know of a place that may have something. ill have to go check it out
