African757: MY 75 GALLON AQUARIUM :African757

First topic message reminder :

UP AND RUNNING STILL NEED SOME FISH THO LOOK KINDA EMPTY TO ME...LOL NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WANNA DO AS FAR AS THE BACKGROUND TOO...

NOT SURE HOW TO UPLOAD PICTURES ANY HELP ON THAT WOULD BE NICE AND THEN ILL HAVE PICTURES COMMING SOON

Looks nice real nice !
if you decide to change sand color dont forget the pictures

Ahh so there is where some of my fish went haha nice man looks good !

Nice looking set up African757. Those fish are looking good. By the way I love the black background.

You just don't know how paranoid i was trying to make sure the fish stayed alive flippercon...lol they did pretty well that night and next day...I think I feel a lil better about shipping fish now since they did so well

I told you no feeding prior and fresh water always the way to go. You can add the meds to sedate or calm yhe fish if you want.

Thats one of those 'night time' tanks you stare at when all
the lights are off....

........................................ever notice everyone puts the "caves"
on the left hand side of the tank...... I wonder if 'left handers' put
all their caves on the right side...... heh... Peace -JT

......I just noticed you turned your kitchen light off after the first picture.
I thought your boys had custom cabinets and a sink in their tank..
shoooot, they could do their own water changes......

About the left and right handers, I view most things left to right just like reading. I so have tanks with caves on the left and right but mostly on the left. I am a right hander. Good thought indeed

Tht made me bust out laughing about the kitchen cabinets but yeah i had to fix that glare ill try to put better pics up when i get the time... and I am a right hnded person as wella

i think a black background would look sweet onthat tank.. and it would make your fish wayy more noticable.. just a thought

thanks i bought a lava rock from a stone yard but still havent done anything with it yet...i was goin to take the chisle to it but ive been thinking that this rock may be a bad idea. it can be sharp at time...the man said it was lava that cooled in water as to why it is greyish black...rather than the redish variety

any ideas on this?

I did a little poking around on the subject and it seems the stone yard was correct. Did you get a good deal on it? I need to get like 100lbs+.

I got a huge rock the guy gave me a deal i believe i paid somewhere between 16 and 20 bucks... not really sure if it was a great deal but i believed it to have been considering what i have seen in some of these pet stores
