La Box De Opciones

PEMfish · 06-01-2008, 12:26 AM

I just got a new aquarium! It's a well done DIY acrylic 31g 48"x 11"x 13.5"t. It has a built in dual fuge on the back for a combined 20g more. ( 34"x 12.5"x 10"t divided into two 17" parts ). Someone saw it being thrown out and grabbed it. Now I have a brand new tank.

I would do cichlid but it is such a SW setup...

Maybe I'll tank the DT off the fuge...

Cichlid would only be about $175

Wow! One man's trash is another's treasure! I am sure you're gonna have a blast setting it up no matter what you turn it into.

PS: If you want to toss it, let me know! lol I could use another grow out tank.

is thriftiness an OCD thing? now I have to start the naggy stuff, PICS,PICS,PICS,PICS and no complaining about the price of film mister!

lcstorc · 06-01-2008, 11:21 AM

I wouldn't be able to resist either. I would be looking around the house trying to find a place to put a new tank. The cost is a consideration but you can take your time so it is not bad all at once.

PEMfish · 06-01-2008, 11:32 AM

If I do reef I will need a $130 RO system too. And I think I will use the stand that came with it. Now thats not for sure as I have not seen it yet.
If it weren't for tearing it apart ( well, just unscrewing 4 bulkheads ) then I would take the DT off and do cichlid.
Dose anyone have any ideas for some sort of rare and awesome FW spices tank?

PEMfish · 06-01-2008, 12:24 PM

These pics I took with my new camera.
Yeah, tats right, new camera. Its a Canon powershot SD1100 IS. I'm very happy with it.

dobejazz · 06-01-2008, 01:04 PM

Congrats on the camera how bout pics of the frogspawn???

Stacef · 06-01-2008, 01:12 PM

Congrats on everything!! I have the Canon SD 450, It's just the simple one, I am looking to upgrade to something more like your soon. But stick with the powershots. How does your turn out for tank shots?? I am having troubles with not being able to get very clear shots. Let me know how yours does... OR post some pics! Hahh thanks!
