Rocks and sand. Awesome combination.

And your tank, sir, is awesome.

No power loss here, just a heaping mountain of snow that I'm finding a hard time removing without the use of a well "maintained" snow thrower. It's turning into ice right now so I'll have to bring out the mattock to chisel it out tomorrow.

Oh, one actual idea in the future is HEAT packs, spare blankets & a cooler/thermos type ice chests to store everything in.



Good luck.

thanks and yea i had my candles in the house going all day around my tanks to try and keep it as warm as posible 55 degrees in the room and the water was maintaining 65 ish maybe a little higher but tonight its guna plummet :/

well super bad news today :/ all of the fish died....every single fish in my house has died! so pissed off that there was nothing i could do. the amount of money and time spent keeping these guys alive all gone in a couple hours only if i could have gotten my hands on a power source... but nothing i could have done but prep sooner next time. im hoping some of the shrimp in the tanks survived cause they usually can take really really cold climates and come back for short periods of time. but the good news is theirs power once again!!! witch is fantastic so its not 40 degrees in my house anymore wooo. but the best part is i have no moremoney to spend on fish because i just spent it all 2 weeks ago wo!!!!

ill post a pictuee up of the massacre of 30 fish from this tank and 20 fish from my other tank :/ so everyone can see what that many fish dead looks like lol

[bennyjam]

That really sucks man. RIP fish. Glad to hear your power is back.

I just now discovered this thread. I'm extremely sorry to hear about your series of events. Dang man... What a rough situation. =\

A few positive and encouraging words though. The tank looks phenomenal. Everyone is spot on when they tell you how gorgeous it is! Such a creative and monolithic set up. You're very good at what you do. And those odd tetras... Try looking up copeland tetras or Hyphessobrycon copelandi. See if that yields anything. You may be able to find them from an online retailer this way. Or check out this site real quick: http://aquavisie.retry.org/Database/...copelandi.html

Best wishes to you when you make your next attempt to get it stocked and thriving again! Don't give up!

thanks a bunch! yea thats what i thought they were but nobody heard of them hahahah, well they r all dead now but my lfs still gets them alll the time. its is unfortunate what happens but hat just means a fresh start i guess and time to realy think about what to stock with. im honestly thinking about taking down my 20g and putting up a 40 breeder in its place rather then trying to get another 10g and such. conserve some space! haha trying to keep positive.

on a nother note removed all the little dead guys today and hopefully guna have some fun using them as realy expensive fish food in my LFS for some really big pacus!

They are definitely attractive little tetras. I'd like to get them in my store, but I've never seen them available. If you don't mind me asking, what do they run price wise?

At least you're keeping your head up and not getting discouraged. I second your idea of doing the 40 breeder! The space they offer is awesome! If you choose to do that, let us know!

Sorry to hear about that. Your scape looks awesome. Keep it up.
