Some Coool Aquascaping in these aquariums, very nice !
Used to have a few 3 foot tanks, only tropicals tho, one was a community tank full of allsoughts, angles, silver & red tailed sharks, neon tetras, blind cave fish, silver dollars etc ect! Did real well for years untill moved. The other was for growing a few Gauramis !
Also bread Gold fish before that, Veil Tails, beautiful tails, had approx 3000 of them one time, collected all the fertilized eggs on glass and moved to another tank away from hungry mum & dad, fed them with egg emulsion, but had to sell a lot of them when very small, didnt have the space for 3000 half grown goldfish
My uncle had a saltwater shop in Lismore. Obviousely had Tanks at his home also ,
Man you have never seen such a large & amaizing tank in all your life, true words, Ill never forget it
This tank was a 4 footer, told you it was huuge - - um, sorry, i forgot to mention that it was 4 foot as in 4 foot deep, yep, also 4 foot wide and 16 foot long yep, true words ! Uncle had to be in the tank with a snorkle for maintanance, true words, im not kiddin ya !
The glass was near 25mm thick, Uncle had to have 6 more concrete peirs put under the house to support the weight, & under the house he also had another tank half the size for just the filtering of the Salt Water which was pumped through the floor.
The Fish were amaizing and Aquascaping was, well unreal, just like the great barrier reef in places, he had growing live corals, starfish, octopusies and anemone, beautiful colours ! Had many large exotic sun fishes, really bright colours, strong bright Yellows etc, & even a Poisonious Lion fish, that was the ultimate apart from seahorses and real salt water sharks that need a constant current so they can rest and not die, Totally amaizing !
Like something youd expect at Mooloolabah Underwater World, Un-fathom-able, pun
Plus he had some small tanks around the house, like one in every bedroom, only small ones, only 6 & 8 footers, you know, piddly ones
Year right'o, I wish
Unbelievable, I still remember them well, must have been back in the '80's there abouts !
Anyway, thanx for letting me share that, and looking forward to some other aquariums here
Mights get another um just a little goldfish tank, they are easy enough, actuall have one laying around somewhere, yep, will dig it out.
Thanx for the inspiring thread Meru ...
