Starting with a blank slate - Page 6

susankat · 08-13-2010, 03:31 PM

His site is back up. Was having some server problems I think.

It didn't take long to catch the angels in there, as soon as I walked up to the tank they were right there.

I think what I may do is do the tank with large schools of threadfin rainbows. I plan on moving the 2 angels to a 40 gal blackwater tank that I have a couple of red points in growing out and they will move to one of the 50's.

I am also going to be adding a shoal of 20 wild caught and F1 sterbai shortly. Someone just offered to me for free. I have also got 5 clown loaches in there now that people have given me.

Here is a bad pic that I took this morning. One side of the lights are off the tank at the moment. Need new bulbs for it.

Very very nice planted aquarium. Keep up the good work.

Dmaaaaax · 08-16-2010, 10:36 AM

If you go for rainbows....look for these. Very unique, and cool...yes green rainbows:

These look great in combo with Boesmani and/or Trifasciata rainbows!

Big Dog · 08-16-2010, 05:07 PM

That is one sweet fish.

susankat · 08-16-2010, 06:42 PM

Those are sweet, How big do they get? Normal size?

WhiteGloveAquatics · 08-16-2010, 08:48 PM

you need some competition around here Susan, I will unleash my 210 very soon on this forum. On a side note, I managed to get the half wild fry over to the 40 cube and they are going to grow out in there.

susankat · 08-16-2010, 10:34 PM

Well when can I expect some from you?????

kevinpilon1 · 09-05-2010, 01:22 PM

wow this has been a great read for me as I am new to the hobby. Thanks for all of the pics, if you want to send some cuttings to the frigid north I would gladly pay for them

Mr_Pat · 11-04-2010, 07:44 PM

Love the Tank.. I had a 195 set up wit Oscars for a few years .But when we moved to our current house i was worried the floors wouldn't support it . So it now houses our 16 foot reticulated python. At least till we can buy a house more suited for us. Then the plan is planted tank with lots of tetras and a few angels

I usually don't stray very far from the salt section but I must say the tank looks awesome!

petlover516 · 01-29-2011, 10:12 AM

Wow susan, I think this is the best fw tank I've ever seen. But than again dmaaaax has an awesome tank, too! And hopefully I get to see whitegloveaquatics' tank

automatic-hydromatic · 02-13-2011, 01:00 AM

out of curiosity, what are the tall slender leaved plants on the far right and mid left?

tank looks great!

saltydad · 02-13-2011, 01:13 AM

It's so thrilling to see that huge and empty tank and have the joy of populating it into a living showcase still to come. Congrats!!

susankat · 02-13-2011, 10:38 AM

That plant is willow hygro. I will probably end up pulling that out though as it needs constant trimming as you can see. But not at the moment. Come spring time I am going to redo the tank.

i4yue · 02-13-2011, 03:20 PM

are you going to throw it away?!!? the willow hygro i mean.

susankat · 02-13-2011, 04:45 PM

No I have 46 other tanks to split it between and sending a little to a friend of mine as soon as all this weather clears up.
