its been quite some time since i ahve posted on here which is really saad considering this is one of the best forums i visit

well heres some pics

this is my old tank i think i was still running this last time i posted here

i definetly need to start coming on here more often though i always forget how great this place is whenever a friend starts a new tank this is always the first site i send them too

 

Very nice! Nice to see you back as well!!!

 

very nice

 

Hey bud, I am not trying to tell you what to do...just some friendly advise. You have a nice, uncompleted 50g tank. I went from a 29 to 90 to a 180 last year. Once the 180 was up, I realized how much electricity a big tank can suck and how much time it takes to maintain vs. time spent enjoying it. Now I am back to a 29 (well sort of, in a nanocube till the 29 is finished). Just do the 50 right and let it grow. In the long run, unless you have money to throw out, I have found that smaller tanks with great equipment is better than a big tank with good equipment. Now on my 180 I had high end equipment but I can only imagine what my 29 would look like now if I would have forked that money into it.

Do I get to count my 4 year old's guppies and feeder gold fish?

10 marine fish for now. Once the 210 breaks in it will go up.

 

Well, the last tank I set up has 6 mickey mouse platies. (For my mom, they are her favorite fish )
