Little 7.4gal cube that’s a little over a year old.


36gal bow front, 2 years old now.

 

[John58ford]

Been holding onto a secret the last couple weeks as I wasn't sure I was set up to handle this(I'm not but it's not as bad as I thought it could be). Can't hide it anymore.


Night blooming water lily, haven't gotten a "full" bloom yet and the petals still have some wrinkles but it's getting very hard to stop it from hitting the tank above it so this might be nearing the end.

Someone's becoming sparkly. Even in quite tinted water.


Here the tint was filtered out by the camera. As on the following pictures:

See the fish?

Still not seeing it?

How about now? (And yes, fat, gravid female. They spawn every 10 days for 1-2 days.)

 

[Fishnturtleguy933]

Did some work to the 40. New plants and some new(and old) friends. Added some more stone as well as some ludwigias and water lettuce. New inhabitants are 4 blue dream shrimp with only one willing to show for the camera, one new honey gourami with one or two more planned for after the new year and one rabbit snail. My green dragon bn pleco wanted to show off for the camera for once as well. I am also planning a 20 gallon or 15 gallon dwarf cichlid tank for after the new year as well.

I almost forgot about this thread. Well, here are my updates for all my aquariums... well, two of them. The third (10 gallon) is now in development again and is a surprise.


The 29 gallon is continuing to grow in nicely after its transition to high tech. However, the image below I took from two weeks ago is still my favorite. The background LED strip changes color with a remote. It is placed behind a white film to effectively diffuse light. I also have a custom color setting for the time of day now. When it is daytime my tank has blue light like the first image and when it is evening/morning my tank looks like it has a sunset. Looking between both images shows distinct progress in plant growth (new, top/old, bottom)




My 15 gallon low tech column scape has never looked better. My Ember Tetras call this tank home now as well as my one and only Betta. He was not out for the whole tank shot but I managed to capture him right here...

His body is almost completely blue now! He really has developed some really nice coloration in the time I owned him.

Update on My 10 gallon betta tank with bubba and one nerite snail (shrimp coming)


My 40gallon breeder with some nerite and mystery snails and soon to be goldfish tank. Almost done cycling it

 

[PAcanis]

I shot a couple more videos tonight.
Not much different than the last ones. I'm hoping the store I want to use has gotten their fish in and are holding off on me putting them in my cart until they are shipping again after the holidays. Long wait...

These are non-monetized videos, so hopefully YT did not place any ads in them.

 

[MacZ]

Just to prove it: That fish is not just black and white.



The two highest ranking pencils.

Welcome to the jungle.

Show off your tank

HI all

I'm sure there is a place for this, however I couldn't find it. I would love to see pictures of all of your tanks, looking for ideas to remodel mine and include more real plants! Please share yours below to give me ideas . Here's mine, small and basic but does the job! I am also waiting for auction pads to sort the air stone tubing it won't be left like that!

The newest of the 20g betta tanks:

 

[RedOnion]

40g planted community, coming up to a one year mark!

 

[Fishnturtleguy933]

40 gallon breeder plants have gone insane lol.
Added some cardinal tetra and 2 more honey gourami making 4.

 

[kallililly1973]

We did a nice cleaning and revamp of our 55 and removed a few pieces of DW . I’ll post the pieces on our easy to grow plants thread with measurements for anyone that might be interested in purchasing them soon.

 

[New Fish in Town]

New aquascape job on my betta tank

 

[PAcanis]

Gotta take another video when you get new fish

(Non-monetized)

 

[JLAquatics]

I have been posting the 29 gallon too much without paying much attention to the 15 gallon column aquascape. This was all grown with no CO2 injection and just a small amount of fertilization.

First tank with eco complete and gravel.

 

[DoubleDutch]

My tanks doing not too bad

 

[DoubleDutch]

Is that a sprout in there ? At first I thought that’s a cool snail

Yeah A Brussels Sprout (Brexit Sprout for the UK members) for BN's and snails. These enjoy a part of a Bell Pepper though

 

[BigManAquatics]

This one isn't even set up anymore, due to life events.

 

[TClare]

I am thinking of a size upgrade for my festivum tank. It is 240l (120 X 40 X 50cm). At the moment it is not at all overcrowded as the 5 festivums came very small, they are quite picky eaters and are growing rather slowly. I also have a severum in there, which I know will be too big for that tank eventually. My initial idea was to eventually just keep a pair of the festivums, but now I think it would be good to keep the group and add some other interesting Amazon or Orinoco species depending on what becomes available. At the moment the tank is something like a biotope and looks quite good, but I would try to make it even more correct. We have plenty of space for a much larger tank where the 240 is now and since my husband made a large tank for the living room last year, and it worked out very well, he is coming round to the idea of making another big one. It would be completely DIY. The most expensive part would be the glass, which would cost something under $200 depending exactly how big we decide to make the tank, and whether we use 10 or 12mm. The stand would have a steel frame and would be covered with wood, which we already have. I have 2 canister filters I could use and we have a limitless free supply of river sand and rocks as well as some large pieces of driftwood that I have collected, in addition to the pieces already in the 240. I would probably try to sell the 240l tank to recoup some costs. Of course this project will take some time and involve quite a bit of upheaval as to build the new tank I will have to move the existing one, which means emptying it and setting it up temporarily somewhere else. This project is under discussion at the moment, will update when a definite decision is made. This is the existing tank (the Cichlasoma is not in there any more and the severum and festivums have grown a bit), the new one would be in a similar style but much bigger.

 

[PAcanis]

This tank is coming along. The Apisto I put in there a few days ago has settled right in. He was literally inches from my hand as I was playing with the stones.
Looks like I'll have to leave them in to weight down that piece driftwood. I like the looks of them, just not necessarily their positioning. Oh well. Maybe I'll add a couple smaller ones below them.

 

[DoubleDutch]

I’m partial to a brexit sprout hah ! Do you do anything to the pepper or just pop it in as is ?

Slice it, get the seeds out, stick a fork in it and there you go. They (BN's) especially love the soft flesh of the heart.

Enjoy seeing other column tanks! Nice job!

 

[CHJ]

OK the cory tank has grown back in since its last "trim".
Before

Now.


The light is now failing. I'd avoid Beamworks with the number of failures I have had from them. I will probably save the 2 48" lights for a blackwater project as blackwater likes low light.

 

[PAcanis]

This tank is still very much a work in progress. But here's a little video after adding some more fish today.
And yes, it does look like that in person The fish don't seem to mind the color. And my Apisto's fat lip has healed

 

[Fishnturtleguy933]

Just did a major trim and floater removal on the 40 gallon breeder. Used some of the trimmings in my new project I'll post tomorrow. Also put the crypts from this tank in the new build.

 

[Nuah]

Saw all these awesome pics and decided to share mine. It's my first and only project I built so far with many trials I must say and it's obvious that I'm new to this but I'm still proud of it

Nice tank nuah ! I can see why you’re proud. It looks huge , what size is that ? And you say only tank now but I’ll ask again in 6 months

Thanks! It's around 32, didn't do proper calculations so that's just an average. Haven't been 6 months yet and I already got another this morning with little shrimps pics coming soon.

By that ratio in 6 months you’ll have about 9 tanks ;D

can’t wait to see the shrimp tank pics! Exciting !!

Welcome to the mts club! Lol tank looks great btw!

 

[Nuah]

They're camera shy, thanks for the welcome guys
And I was wondering, if the shrimps multiply is it ok to add some to my main tank or no?

 

[Debbie1986]

Redid the 20 long with plants from Petco and amazon. The Sparkling Gourami, cory cats & shrimp seem to like it as well.

 

[JLAquatics]

Here is my update post for the 29 gallon aquascape. Everything has been growing well with no signs of stopping anytime soon! The background is beginning to fill in nicely now as well!

Full shot


Side view for aesthetics


Here is some new Rotala h'ra I planted in the scape the other day. It should become a brilliant red in due time.


Spiky Moss growing its signature "fronds"


Two of my male Lambchop Rasboras having a sparring match. Also, excuse the bubbles in the shot they do not have ick.

[YellowGuppy]

Here's my 20 gallon guppy tank!

 

[PAcanis]

Still dealing with major tannins leaching, but I knew that would happen. Now that it's stocked I'll do a bigger water change next time and keep after it every 4-5 days. I need to pull the pH, dKH and dGH down more anyway.
I'm not sure why I got so much reflection... maybe because the light is bouncing off both the water and the partial glass lid? I'll work on that

 

[86 ssinit]

Pics from today’s water changes.

This 35 gallon hex aquarium I set up in 1995, and still going strong, years ago I had a 75 salt that I stopped as life got busy. Someday I might try another one.

Thought I’d share some pics here while my tanks look semi-presentable!

Plants are growing. Need some ottos!

A different kind of shell dweller (n. Multi) tank.


This is what you get when you let the fish do the Aquascape. They've even pruned the anubias into a tree. I started this colony 8 months ago and have trimmed/moved nothing.

How it started:

 

[MacZ]

Tse... no tannins, no tank.
