Wowsers!

 nice rack 

[Rpainer]

So my guy came over this afternoon and stopped it from rocking but as he is a top bloke he is getting more leveling plates to make it completely level. So win win. Just gotta wait a few more days.

[Rpainer]

So its all ready to set up now.

I made the air loop and I think I hit the brick wall more times then I could count. How I hate irrigation piping -.-

Added a few valves and it seems to work. No leaking from the joins or anything.

On Saturday night ordered my lights and ada soil from the tech den. Should get them by Thursday.

So I got my ada soil and my up aqua lights today from the tech den. I forgot to get the stuff I needed to hang them up so let's hope I remember tomorrow.

I transfered my endlers and red cherries to the new rack in the same tanks. Will move the yellows tomorrow.

So far really impressed with the up aqua U lights. I have Z's on most of my tanks but the U and a lot bigger but brighter as well

[newbreed]

The U series definitely throw out better light, IMHO. 

Great progress!! Onto the next tank now.....

They throw out a lot of light I am very impressed with them. Didn't expect them to be that big compared to the Z's

So I moved all the shrimp over and tanks over

They all seem nice and happy and no deaths which is a plus. When moving my yellows over didn't realise I had so many babies. And one female was berried up so more to come

And found a nice berried red as well.

Getting glass cut tomorrow to make my dividers in my 3 ft tanks then the real fun begins. Also getting the 4ft on sunday after work.

Coming along very fast, looks good

[Rpainer]

So today got some lids made and the dividers made. Siliconed them into place.

Today I learnt I'm crap at siliconing and measuring haha

But I got the end result so let's hope tomorrow night they hold together for the water test

Hahahahaha that shall teach me to post stuff when I'm half asleep

So last night spent 3 hours shutting down a tank and moving it into the garage and rescaping it.

Moved some ada soil into a 3ft tank and going to fill it tonight I'm hoping. Gotta get a whole bunch of plants though but broke as can be, doesn't help.

Should get all my heaters this week. Then just gotta get more foam.

[Rpainer]

So been a bit since an update so here it is.

3fts are up and running. No livestock yet. Got bunch of plants yesterday spent a long time planting out all my tanks. Now just waiting for things to cycle then happy days.

Mind everything being dirty plants stir so much crap up when your trying to get them to stay down.

[Rpainer]

Alright so after all the Xmas funds have been collected I can start filling the tanks up with some shrimp! Yay for me :)

I still got no clue what I want so I'm open for suggestions

Here is the whole side of the garage

I got some co2 as well for some real fun planted tanks. Just waiting for their filters to cycle.

[larrymull]

If it was me I would fill the tanks with:-

Pintos
Yellow KK
Blue Bolts
Blue Cherry's

In fact there are too many I want to fill the tanks.

Good luck, this is the fun part!
