Oh a predator tank with a nope rope.
Yes I'm late.

I had considered that for sure. I was already designing the PVC tunnels in my head.

Can't wait to see what you do with it. Definitely following this one

 

[stoney7713]

What about these?!?

Tim, wow. I somehow missed that you won. Congrats buddy. Predator tank sounds like a fun thing to do.

Yep! My wife originally said "You're not bringing another tank in the house" then "Trade with Chad for his shotgun" which believe me, Chad was willing but today "Ok, so what do we need to do to start tearing down the 110 to make room?"

Well that’s awesome. Bet the fact that it was basically free helped lol

Basically? Well, I need a lid and a light but it's basically free, yeah.

@Fishy888 you're not here for the shenanigans yet.

 

[907_Reefer]

Reserved, because I haven't reserved one in a while.

Currently the 110 is set up as an Angelfish tank but it only has a Striped Rafael, a Pleco, and a whole handful of tetras. Tetras to the 20, Raphael and Pleco to the LFS.

Are you going FOWLR or are there corals in its future?

 

[tbrown]

Are you going FOWLR or are there corals in its future?

Still deciding. Depends a lot in what my wife wants. I'm probably not doing lots of corals. Maybe clowns and Nems or RFAs and softies or...

 

[steveschuerger]

Here’s an idea for lighting if you want something beyond the basic. Nice Tiffany style

I have a 3ft 55-56, also with angels, I hate them personally, they are mean. They kill anything else I add, really thinking converting it to SW. But then the SW equipment, lights etc.

But if you go Fowlr you could skip the expensive lights. Keep a few fish you otherwise couldn't, maybe upgrade the lights down the road to add a few corals like GSP or something so if the fish do nip, no biggie.

GSP and Zoas don't really require special lights.

Shhhhh! I mean upgrade your other lights to move those to this tank. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Or a few used kessil would work nicely, give nice shimmer and such.

It would be cool if you did an all nem tank

Oooooh shenanigans. I’m in! ;)

 

[Fishy888]

So what's the record for the longest build thread with no build?

@tbrown don't know but goin for it!

Well technically they’re tank threads now. :rolleyes:
