Basements are good for something

but you can just about guarantee,you and most other forum members have more aquariums in your house (not includeing basements) then me

Next summer I'm planning to drop down to around 1/2 the number of tanks I have now anyways .

5 times the gallonage

but alot less tanks

More gallons and less tanks-talk about a win-win situation. Better stability and more room for the really cool stuff. I envy you...:tongueout As it is, my mom is always griping about the number of aquariums I've got. Oh well.

by **jors23** on Thu Feb 03, 2005 1:28 pm

i've got:

1-30g (probably future home of breeding cons)
1-75g 1red oscar, 1 tiger, 1 gt, 1con, 1 pleco, 1 jack d, and 1 gold mystery snail.

Well, you know what they say...Variety is the spice of life, right? Do you get any fighting with all of that variation? I've never kept any of those kinds of fish.

by **Craig** on Tue May 17, 2005 2:56 am

finally got the set ups that i first of all wanted, and second of all look great so.

1 55 - 2 wild green severums, 1 pleco

1 30 - planted community (yes i finally got the hang of plants, its all about getting the snails under control with a few loaches and keeping the plants healthy by pruning, feeding and correct lighting and filtertain)

by **Deepseafisher** on Tue May 17, 2005 6:29 am

Awesome. What have you got in the planted tank? Cories?

I figure it would be a safe guess...lol.

by **Craig** on Tue May 17, 2005 11:42 am

the cheek....

4 peppered, 2 imitator... damn predictability. lol. 1 packistani loach, 1 zebra loach, 1 whip tail cat and a pair of kribs... reall should stock the midle of the tank.

by **junior** on Tue May 17, 2005 3:06 pm

Guess I will add my newest and greatest setup.

I am going back to saltwater, I have started a nice little 28bow nano and it is going great, so now upgrading to a moderate 180, hehe. It's going to quite the tank when I am done.
