Re: Its not salt,but has water

Hi Woodstock,
Thank you for your comment. I am afraid Discuss is not going to work as this is an Inwall tank. The width is only 61/2 ins as it is sitting in a hole in the wall.It can be viewed on both sides of the wall. I have 6 Cardinal Tetras in right now but thinking of getting some ground cover plants to cover some or most of the gravel. Thinking of adding some shrimps.

Re: Its not salt,but has water

Hmm, saltless? What an innovative idea...

Looks very nice Steve. I used to keep/breed discus, and always had a pair in a planted tank in the main living room.

Re: Its not salt,but has water

Yes, Cichlids do have some beautiful colors and are alot easier to care for. I have had a Cichlid tank for a few months now and haven't had 1 death in the family!! They ARE starting to turn on each other though. All of them are very territorial, so you have to be careful of what kinds you decide to get, if any...

Re: Its not salt,but has water

WOW!!
only 6 1/2 wide?
did you build it yourself?
seems to be viewable from both sides, is it?
where is the filtration?
how did you hook it up?
does it have a sump?
why is the gravel bed so deep?
what kind of fish will it have?
what kind of lighting does it use?
how are you venting it?
how do you gain acess to the top?
whydid you post the thread instead of teresa?
is that a dead bleached coral skeleton in the other room?
did you kill it?
how come RS won't let me give you or teresa any more karma for today?
how come round pizzas come in square boxes?
..huh?...huh?...tell us?
just a few questions...inquiring minds want to know

Re: Its not salt,but has water

Beautiful tank.
I grew up with freshwater community tanks. You should get some non agressive community fish and just sit back and enjoy.
I love the in-wall look. Very neat and tidy plus you can see both sides.
Well done!!
