new tanks

So hopefully by the end of the month i will have my hand on 2 more 55's and a 50 gallon tank, I currently have an empty 55 and a 29 gallon tank with brevis and juli ornatus that i want to move to a 55 and add to the community, then redo the 29

now that i finally have a job, the project should be starting in the near future
my goal is to create a 3 piece 126x12 inch stand. two pieces will be 48x12 for 2 of the 55's and the third middle piece will be 30x12 for the 29

each tank will be end to end with the 29 in the middle. since the 29 is shorter top to bottom, i plan to make the stand for the 29 a few inches taller so that the top trim of all three tanks is even, and use a thick piece of molding to make sure it still cover the bottom trim of the 29

this unit will span all but 6-7 inches of one of my dining room walls, so the goal is to make this look like one nice cohesive unit, should be a nice dining room show piece.

one 55 will contain:
1m/4f Cynotilapia sp. 'Mbamba' Mpanga Rocks


1m/4f Labidochromis sp. 'Perlmutt'


1m/4f Iodotropheus sprengerae 'Rusty'


I think this will make for an interesting mbuna tank
The middle 29, while very risky, will consist of
1m/4f Cynotilapia afra Cobue


and the second 55 will be a tang community with (to start)
6 Julidochromis ornatus


4 Lamprologus brevis

12-14 Cyprichromis ( not sure which yet)

and either some xenos, or a single goby, haven't decided

The 50 gallon tank will most likely be another single species cynotilapia breeding tank
and i have yet to come up with an idea for the 3rd 55. both of these tank will most likely be kept in the spare bedroom.

any comments? suggestion?

NICE!!! sounds awsome!!! keep us updared with pix wen u get round to it!!!

will do, hopefully i'll actually get these tanks cheap. right now it looks like i might.

i have one stand built, just have to reface it to make it look nice

very haha.

goood job good luck

like i said any suggestions, especially on the species of cyno in the 50, and the stocking of the third 55 are well welcome
