    Man I have to agree here! I am seriously jealous it looks so good! Maybe you can diy an overflow for all your tanks with a faucet running on a timer or something hehe...

    Nice man WOW 34 tanks you probably got the most tanks setup and running.

    That bowfront tank on the right need some serious trimming, you know trimmings are always welcome :laugh:

    Good luck on getting the maintenance sorted.

    Thanks for the positive comments guys

    I have very few second hand used tanks - 6 I think, some custom tanks and most tanks plate glassthat I did not re-silicone myself are from fish fantasy, got a the boyu on a special that was like 50% off due to a large stock order, then I have tried my hand on a few DIY tanks - or just support the LFS. But hein been doing this since 2007 I will admit 2011 was a dead year, do not think I added a single tank that year ;-)

    The shelf tank - I think Lucky13 have a look here Lucky 13

    As for trimming - it might rain tomorrow - sure sign that I can start doing some aquaplaning - thinking of starting over on most of the tanks.

    Hi Ferdie

    Is that a pure breed schnauzer in your photo? How old is he/she?

    Is anything from tarkastad pure in its breeding? She - ah it is +_5 years (just before tail docking went out of fashion) - think it thinks it is a rat more than a miniature, it has amongst its personality issues rather bad epileptic fits that make it a bit of a druggy.

    Love's using the tanks as a water bowl.

    Ok getting back in the game - well almost. After a few months of near nothing happening I redid a tank by adding some dragon rock, re-purposing some plants and moving some 20 convicts (mostly the albino like ones, they are great at hiding).

    I managed to keep two other tanks going - barely rest are going to be restarts or decommission for the winter.

    Lucky 13 is the best of the bunch.

    4ft clear - ja well - it is green

    As / if things improve ... pictures tell the story.

    @f-fish WoW. Your tanks are truly amazing. So this is what dedication to a hobby looks like.! Even though it may make me homeless, I hope to one day have such passion.

    Teach me Oh Great One!!

    WOW - I have had these 4 little tanks now for almost 2 years, man how time flies.

    Decided it was the right time to move d-tank a 3ft and the stand with the 4 small tanks on it around a bit - well actually 3ft is going outside, but that is another thread for another month.

    Rather pleased with the results .. everything is fitting snug.

    I am sure she will - just promise her that you won't need to put any tanks in the lounge or bedroom :)
