| Thanks, Ben. I wasn't trying to "show off" , just present some ideas. Some day, I may convert to a rack system. I might put a rack of tanks down the center of the room. |

| I like the "living with your fish" approach. As I have all my tanks in the "living area" I've gone for display tanks too. Then again I don't breed, so I don't have fry chasing to contend with...... well so far. |

| Wow, Bob you've got it going on! Some day I would love to have a room like that!!!! Don't take it for granted, I repeat DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED! I am sure you don't... I would say that definitely blows the 2 - 10's, a 30 and a maybe the 55 out of the "water"... Road trip to AK anyone? A little  , and maybe some  , and I would sit, look and enjoy for hours!!! Even without... NICE! If anyone has a better room I would like to see it. Racks are good for breeding and stocking in a smaller area, but I can't compete with my office or with my fish shed approach to breeding and keeping! Well done Sir! |
