I like the Mickey Mouse ear effect.

Seriously though, I've just never gotten around to it.

LOL..that is funny. If you lived here you could be included in one of those places where "micky mouse is hidden around the city"..

The tank looks awesome!

Haha! Good one! It will help the lines of the setup if you trim them.

Roy started a thread about ADA in general (link). Let's keep posts about that over there and keep this thread for Roy's tank (he did goad me though, with the line about the $75 hinge and how that'd irk me!

).

**rountreesj** · 08-29-2008, 02:51 PM

So can you get the hinges anywhere else besides AFA?

**macclellan** · 08-29-2008, 03:45 PM

They sell Euro hinges at Home Depot and Lowes. As Roy said, don't forget the drill bit to make the cut in the cabinet door for the hinge recess.

That was a joke completely intended to ruffle macclellan's feathers!
There is no such thing (that I know of) as "ADA Invisi-Hide" hinges.

They were purchased at Home Depot for $5-$6 apiece as stated previously.

Thanks for the tip. I've thought about it, and will probably get around to trimming them someday...

I'll chime in on the other thread when I get home later...

**rountreesj** · 08-29-2008, 07:17 PM

I figured so much about the hinges...you bout put a kink in my new stand design ideas...

**roybot73** · 09-03-2008, 11:26 PM

It's Jungle Time again. Gotta roll up the sleeves and get in there sometime soon -- MedRed, I haven't forgotten your Tennellus, I just have to find some time to dig it out. There's a lot to thin out. I've decided all of the Cyperus is coming out as well. It just competes way too much with all the stems -- I think I've blabbed about this already though.

The Rams seem to pretty happy in their new surroundings as they've dug themselves a nice little nest in the sand (front right corner right behind the ADA decal). The female seems to hang out in there quite a bit, and they may have spawned already -- very hard to tell the sand grains from eggs. Anyhow, they're both colored up quite intensely, and her ovipositor is extended...

gorgeous ADA. i love the jungle look

**lauraleellbp** · 09-04-2008, 01:55 AM

If her ovipositor is still extended then either she's about to start spawning or hasn't finished yet... has the male taken to "wiggling" through the nesting site yet? If you see him doing that, that's a sure sign that he's fertilizing eggs.

They've moved the nest site to an area with a flat rock surface completely surrounded by plants. It took me about 10 minutes of observation to find them. The rock has eggs all over it, and they're both sticking close by...

If I hang out and watch too long, they take turns "charging" the glass. Their personalities are amazing!

MAJOR RESCAPE IN EFFECT! BEER BREAK UPDATE!

What started out as a typical Sunday morning trim has gone horrlbly awry! I pulled the proverbial 'Sweater String'...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqgN0T6f1kg

pics to come when I see fit

Cheers

**fishman9809** · 10-12-2008, 06:24 PM

saweeeeeeeeeet.

are we going to be seeing a before and after pic?

**roybot73** · 10-12-2008, 06:30 PM

Nope. Just an after

I just want to get this thing planted quick before I waste any more of what may possibly be the most beautiful October Sunday afternoon I can ever remember. Weird to think that 2 years ago at this time Buffalo NY was under 2+ FEET of snow, and more than half of the city's trees were destroyed...

**fishman9809** · 10-12-2008, 06:37 PM

O.o

get out there and enjoy it, then come back and finish up in evening
