Saying goodbye for a while.

Sad news @pierreschoonraad, we share the same passion for rainbows, thank you for sharing all the knowledge, you were always super helpfull with everything.
I am sure the passion will kick back in very soon. enjoy the break

 

So finally I have at least reached the point where everything is in it's place filled up and running. A whole lot less complicated than what I had before.

On the desk on the left I have Odin the betta in his cube, the piece of wood I had on top of the 3ft panaque tank

On the right I have the shellies and the chocs.

Now I can sit and watch all the aquariums without moving around at all. Just swive the chair.

Looks great @pierreschoonraad

Lets see how long before you add another one......

 

According to my calculations there is at least enough space for another 3 x 4ft tanks in the room

 

I know your predicament as I have 13 tanks ranging from fluval spec(small one) all the way up to 1000L . 7 are 120L and up and 4 are marine these being 120L aquaria, 500L corner tank, 700L and 1000L.

Thanks @MariaS. I'm defnitly sure I won't go as big as I had before. I have arranged everything in the fish/art room in such a way that I could actually get back into a passion which I have neglected over the past few years. I love being back in touch with my art side. Extremely satisfying for me to be able to jump right back in where I left it 15 yeats ago. Naturally fish is my main focus at the moment, don't know why. As I have 3 different biotopes going at the moment I should be good for some time before the rainbow bug bites again and 3 becomes 4 becomes 5 becomes ........ You all know the rest of the story.

@Toy if I use 2 racks I can actually fit 6 in there.

One of the best views I had in a long time.

Does look great at least you still have a foot in the hobbie.
Yesterday was xmas for me as i picked up your amazing rainbows, i thought i had a great bunch in my tank until i saw yours. I never thought they would ever get to that size.
No pictures will ever do them justice, i have added them to my 550L ( soon to be 750L) and cant wait to get some mops in there to see the offspring of these beasts.

Thanks again for evevrything

Very happy you got hold of them, at a bargain price, even before they reached the lfs. Gives me piece of mind that they are with somebody that shares my passion for rainbows.

I will always have a foot in the hobby even if it's just a piece of wood in a small aquarium with some plants and shrimp. When you get this hobby in your system there is no easy way of getting it out.

Awesome!

PS: Can you give us a closeup of the top tank? Really looks interesting.

 

Here is a close up just for @Toy. I have my 3 surviving choc gouramis in there. The back wall has it's own pump that supplies water to the top end. After about a year it still needs some growing in to do.

Now that you have left the hobby you are posting far better pics .... it is my wish that everybody leaves the hobby immediately.



Looks very cool, must say a good shale-up can do wonders for the focus.

Later Ferdie

 

Boy oooh boy, I wish my tank didn't have lids

It looks great, thanks for the pic, what are you growing on the back wall?

 

Not one of my aquariums have lids on them. On the pannel there is mostly moss growing with some aquatic plants in between

That setup of yours looks great, and at least you are keeping some tanks going.
Hopefully you won't become a complete stranger, and will still share what is happening in your tanks.
