My Latest Project.... This Tank Was $40 At Some Pet Store

[Scott MacAdam]

so i got this because a pet store was re-locating and they had to get rid of a few tanks for a smaller venue.

some of these pictures are bad but it's the best i could do in a short time.....

ok this is it set up and running. i had to put some extra money into it but it came out alright.
it's sitting in my room ontop of this chest i've had in there for a while (i've finaly found a use)
and that is my dojo loach swimming around near the center...

here we have my newest addition to the tank... my iridescent shark(yes i am aware of their max size! lol!)
he seems to like to sit under those leaves and just relax....

here's another of my dojo loach, going on a mad sucking spree.....

and this one is one that i cannot identify..... my little sister caught it in a pond near my house(trying to be nice, not realizing that she could have killed it...) but maybe you guys know what it is.... it was about 1.5 cm when i first had it(about 3-4 months ago) and now it's probably 6-7cm

well it's not done yet but i have no idea what i want to do to improve it ... any ideas

nice tank dude!


oh and jus a word from one spotlight user to another.

some people on here are sure that you need a better lighting system but u really dont!

when i showed my tank i was told my plants would survive a few weeks and then die cos i only have 2 normal spotlights on my tank similar to yours ( a bit smaller).

glad to say that was a load of crap and some of my plants have doubled in size in the last month!!!

yeah , my plants seem to be growing like wildfire! everyday i notice tons of leaves sprouting from the others. i had 3 lights on there as you may be able to see but the riged up lighting but i ran into a huge alge problem..... so i reduced it to 1 lamp and it looks alot darker in the pictures then it accually is, so it's working great! thanks for the replies! keep em coming!!! i want to do something crazy with it but i haven't thought of anything yet.....

 

[Scott MacAdam]

oops i'll just fix those up

i was posting some pictures but they were WAY TOO BIG

even now it's really big but if i edit it i may compermise the quality the Shark is over there >>>>>
hahahaha! sorry guys

this is a retouched picture better then the top one( still kinda blurry though )

hey!!!!!!! nice pics, very impressive. Yeah $40 for a 25 gallon is a really good deal, so congrats on that.
I'll post again soon

PS: call me some time

 

[Scott MacAdam]

i edited the 2nd pictue at the top. i hope it's a little better

hahahahaha !!!! all that for a fish tank! god i wish it was that easy! LMAO

I can't see if your tank has any covering or not, but with Dojo loaches they're almost essential as they're frequent jumpers.

I forgot to say, great tank!

 

[Scott MacAdam]

it has no cover but as for the dojo it dosen't seem to go to the surface much, and when it does it just skimms the top then dives again

although i was thinkking of that earlier when my shark came out of the water at mach 2 and soaked me. my face was dripping wet and then i thought "hmmmm i sould get a cover" so i think i'll rig up some screen of some sort

thanks for the reply

 

[Scott MacAdam]

my girlfriend just told me that she just signed up and the "ccccc" girl was her....... so it's not that easy! LMAO! but if only a tank could get you a date...... what a world it would be.

"well hello! here's a picture of my fish tank.... your house or mine?"
