So.... where should I begin..
I woke up this morning, and i remembered dreaming of an oasis..
Went to the store bought supplies to build it...
here are some in-the-process of buildin pics
Width: 29.1339" (74cm)
Height: 14.5669" (37cm)
Depth: 29.1339" (74cm)
Your tank's volume is approximately 12,364.2 cubic inches or 53.5 U.S. gallons, which is approximately 208.2 liters.
Interesting idea...I've built a couple tanks, that glass looks frighteningly thin for 53.5 gallons. But then I use glass way thicker than necessary just for my own peace of mind. Look forward to seeing he progress though!
I read you made a few other tanks you've used two pieces also? Guess it doesn't really matter as long as you silicone good and don't move it at all with water in it.. I'll be following to watch progress of build how much did you pay for the glass?
So the light is up, a fish-wire suspends it to the ceiling.
The sand/rock/wood is also in
The water filled it up.. thank god... no leaks .. hold on ma go knock on wood lol..
The filter is running.. hopefully clear by tomorrow
VERY nice. The wood and rocks have transformed it massively and it all looks so natural. The plants compliment each other and are placed perfectly. This will look even better as it grows in which I'm really looking forward to.
Hats off to you for having the determination to follow through something from a dream and turn it into this. I imagine it will be a great focal point of the room it's in.
Are you planning anything for the submersed area fish wise???
As for the fish, yet i dont know what to put in there.. a goldfish lol.. cuz it looks like a pond.. just kidding!
I literally dumped my 10 gallons in there. having now only 5 tanks in total haha...
Here's some update pics.
It's cleared up well lol.
Goldfish is good!......maybe not ha ha.
I think some corydoras would look perfect in there amongst the sand and rocks.
Maybe a couple of really colourful guppies too?
oh guppies/endlers i got soooo many in my 15 gallon tank
might get some rainbow fish and dwarf cichlids, because there's many rocks/caves. corys would be brilliant idea!
i guess i'll go to the pet store and see what jewels they've got
Very nice OASIS. Are you sure that's what you dreamt about? LOL. I love those colors on the pots.
Btw, you built those 3 tanks so far????????? wowww, that's amazing. I am curious as for the cost and time, compared to the one already built. Hmmmmmmmm.......
My favorite thus far. Males are especially pretty. Mature males flash a yellow strip on their head halfway down their back when they display to females. Very exciting stuff
Totally just blew my mind. Amazing can not say enough. Love all the plants. I'm sure its your favorite room and I could get rid of cable with a tank like that.
Today I woke up and found a flower from the underwater plants!
Also moves things around, once more,hopefully for the last time. But I think all fits better now.
It's all coming together nicely now. I love the purple flowered plant.
Congrats on the flowering underwater plant, looks like an echinodorus plant, the flowers only last a day or two at most :-(
