Playsand 6 lbs. Figi live rock Aquaclear 200 Hagen 50 watt Mini Thermal Compact in HOB 3 Margarita snails 3 Blue leg hermits Lots of shells so the hermits can play dress up! Showing tank and hood, both lights on. It sits over my flat bed scanner next to my computer. Blue light only 6400 only The color is washed out in the pictures, I didn't take time to color correct. The rock has quite a bit of dark pink and lime green coraline on it, some of it has bleached in the last week since I installed the lights. Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Great Job Elizabeth!! I love your rockscape and especially your stand and canopy. Is the cycle all finished now? Link to comment
lizbeth Posted April 26, 2002 Author Share Posted April 26, 2002 Thanks! Cam- I have had the tank since I was in middle school. Ya know I'm older than dirt right? Over the years it has housed guppies, newts, a baby oscar (wrong,wrong, wrong) and crayfish. Chris and Alife- The rocks are three pieces I picked out of a box at Jeff's. The piece on the left has a hole through it that you can't see in the picture, the middle is an A shaped arch, and the right is the craggy piece that the one hermit keeps getting stuck in. Chris the tank actually finnished cycling in a week. Delph- One of the crabs changes clothes almost every day, sometimes more than once, it's name is Liberace. The one that has trouble driving is Yugo and the one that just eats and hangs out is Joe. Link to comment

Drew Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 sweet tank, just wondering where is your heater? Link to comment
lizbeth Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 Thanks pulp! CroceaMaxima, Thanks I made it from scraps I had laying around. I love power tools!!! Drew, The heater is in the Aquaclear filter. Here's a picture, it has a lot of glare on it but you can see how it's in there. Link to comment
Drew Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 ahh nice setup, i was thinking that but i wasnt for sure didnt think a heater would fit in a aquaclear, figured you might of had a tetratec but the intake didnt look like one from a tetra tec, again sweet setup -Drew Link to comment
