WOW!

Inspiring! :D

I am starting one tank soon. Except I am thinking whether to consider sump or sumpless :/ Felt like following along your current tank's idea (:

very nice viv, i have a few with azureus and one with red amazonicus, are you gonna put any pdf's in there?

id like to one day get some pdf's but it wont happen anytime soon. I have plans to probably sell the 2 vivs i have now and would like to just make 1 large viv to house a mid size group of Azureus... tank would be probably 3' x 3' x 2' (lxhxw)

Excellent tank, probably one of the best I've seen on here.

 

Keep in mind that azureus don't do well in groups because they are a member of the tinctorius family. I can't comment on how they would do in a tank that large though.

not to nitpick but that tank is only 14ish gallons not 24ish

Maybe it was said but I might have missed it

Hey MacheteAvenue,

 

This is a very cool tank and is giving me some ideas for a potential shallow frag tank build.

 

Quick question: in the last pic of your first post, the silicone looks irregular but in later pix it looks neat and crisp. Did you go back over it with a razor? How did you clean it up?

Thanks.

ya the last picture is just the excess that seeps out the side, i just cut it off after it cures.. the next tank i build I think im going to tape the outside too.

 

 

 

 

not much is new with the tank... i havnt been home for about 2 weeks and my girlfriends been looking after it... haha i made her take pictures and send them to me. other then lots of algae on the glass it looks good. when i get home on monday i will clean it up and do a WC and take some pictures and post.

 

Thanks again for the comments everyone.
