Wats Ur Next Aquarium Project?

[fish-r-fancy]

I have to sell my 55 gallon tank.

FInish painting my 180 gallon tank stand and putting handles on it. Set the tank up as an oddball tank!

 

[mommyof2bettas]

Buying a 15 gallon tank,
couple of more betta tanks,
and finding a store that sells female bettas

My next project is putting the roof and floor into my fish house and building the 1200 gallon pond inside it.

1200 gallon pond huh?

Yeah i cant afford a really big tank that i would like for my rays, silver arowana, p bass and large catfish so im going to build a raised pond from concrete blocks inside the fish house, something along the lines of 9x6x4 feet.

 

[Naughtygirlrlw]

Well not quite as exciting as CFC but in 5 years of fishkeeping, I've never kept livebearers.
I recently got some prego female guppies and am going to try my hand at that. Next step is getting
the balls to feed said fry to the Oscars

my brackish tank my next project hopefully get it cycling this week ooo so excited

Breeding chiclids i love them!

Well, I need to redo my bettas divided 10gal. It's setup was supposed to be temporary (lots of fake plants on either side of the divider so they don't see each other), but since theres a nice layer of algae on the divider I can get rid of the plants. Still not sure how I'll decorate.

The 28gal is growing plants, so I'll wait until they fill out to decide how I want it, the cories and harlequins are really enjoying the jungle look. The harlequins like swimming between the leaves, and the cories nest at the bottom, so I may just leave it, doesn't look fancy, but everything is healthy.

And what I'm really dreading, redoing the 75gal mbuna. I'm going to wait for warmer weather so I can put the rocks on my patio when I unload the tank. The plan: take out 150lbs of rock, clean them, remove all fish to a plastic container (that should be fun ), take out crushed coral, scrub tank, replace rocks, add aragonite sand, add water and fish. Cry myself to sleep. I'm really not looking forward to it, but I know the tank will look better when I'm done. Maybe I'll take pics along the way and do a little diary on it. That might make it seem better if I make it educational for myself. lol

I think I'll be starting a small betta tank. Around 5 gallons. Sand bottom, few plants. Maybe some inverts in it too.

 

[Bozza]

Changing my tanks to sand. Selling my 50ish apple snails. Start to breed corys. Transform my tanks to planted and cory only tanks. Dont have enough room to house more tanks but once that list has been completed. Will start to expand and get tanks for around the house hehe. Already have 2x60L, 1 35L and 20L in my room. Hopinh in the next few months me and the missus (Vampireplec) can move out and get our own place, then big fish plans are in the works

 

[Amunet]

Nothing really. I'm just trying to focus on getting the tanks we have now finished lol
Really want to get the 28gal more plants.
Also would love to get some sort of carpet type of plant for the divided 10gal for my future bettas.

In the future.. a few years down the road when we hopefully move out of this crapshack.... we'll get a 55gal. No idea what we'll do with it decor-wise, but it'll be fun when that time comes

 

[Josiah]

My next project is a 40g breeder, SW and I'm going to build around a fuzzy dwarf lionfish.

I love those guys, very cute looking!

Let's see:

5.5 gallon planted betta tank - This is set up and cycling. I still have some planting to do. Then it's a matter of time while my LFS gets some nice half moon male bettas

10 gallon Dwarf puffer tank - This is also cycling, but needs some serious rearrangement before I can even think about adding it's eventual population. It also needs time to grow enough alage to feed 3 ottos.

75 gallon Asian tank - sometime in May to July I am going to relase my painted turtle into the lake from whence he came (Note: this is a wild caught turtle that will be returned to it's point of collection, not some store bought turtle that is being released to certain death.) I am then going to upgrade the lighting to about 250 watts and double up the filtration capacity (adding a cannister to the emperor 400). Finally, I am going to transfer he plants and fish from my 55 and slowly stock it up. I will the sell off the 55 and it's stand & canopy.

33 gallon Flat Back Hex tetra tank - I'll set this up before I remove the fish from the 55. I'll put a bunch of feeder guppies from the 75 in it before I take the 75 down. This will get the Emperor 400 from the 75. It will be heavily planted with low to mid light plants and stocked with a big school of neons (maybe 1/4 to 1/3 cardinals), ottos, and pygmy cories, and a trio of Black lyretail mollies (preferably with a strong strain of P. sphenops so that I can get away without salt. I understand this is a sub-optimal stocking choice - however, this is what the wife wants.)

90-120 gallon Amazon tank - In the works for late summer/early fall. This will fill the spot in the living room the 55 occupies (which is why it can only be 4' long). Planted. Lots of driftwood. Angels and diamond tetras and hatchet fish and hoplos and plecos.

46 gallon Bow Front vivarium - I have a 46 BF with a broken center brace. I figure I can get away with filling to about 30 gallons. It'll get 3 leopard bushfish, an ABF, and we'll see where it goes from there. This is mostly to get rid of surplus livebearer fry.

Once the 33 is set up, I'll have a spare 20 high. Not sure whether to keep it orsell it and get a 30 or a 40 breeder. I'm split on whether this will be my new quarantine tank (making my current QT tank into a 10 gallon bumblebee goby tank), shellies, or a dark tank - lighted only w/ red & blue LEDs, filled with rocks and driftwood, and stocked with clown or albino bristlenose plecos, albino cories, and blind cave tetras. Alternately, if I get a larger tank to replace it, I may try and set up a skunk loach tank.

Right now i'm already in the middle of a project- making my sub tropical tank habitat much better suited to the resident sub tropical fishes needs. I bought some hillstream loaches recently, the tank already has some very powerful filtration and the oxygen content of the water is high, but i want to add much more powerful filtration and work on the habitat a lot more to make it even more suited to the hillstream loaches needs.
Other than that, its mostly outdoors pond work- there is so much work i need to do on the pond and garden, but hopefully by towards the end of the summer everything will be finished and the goldfish will be in the pond outside. Once the goldfish are moved into the pond, it also means i have a whole 125gal tank to work with. I will probably put mostly platys in it, and try to tame some sort of plant to grow over the masses of driftwood in the tank .

What happens in my mind & what happens in reality are sometimes way different. I have an old 5' long 63 gallon that needs to be resealed, I'd like to put in a couple of dividers & use this for breeding pairs. Apistogramma cacatuoides bred too easy, I'm starting to get overrun with them, time to mess with another apisto species. I need to run some pvc pipe in the ceiling, get rid of the hoses that fill & drain. I would also like to run some gutters & downspouts along the front of the racks that drain into a sump. I can get rid of the garbage can & pump I use during water changes, along with one of the hoses in the fishroom.

What will actually happen goes more like more water changes & mop the floor.
