pastafarian Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hey folks, wanted to setup something relaxing in the home office and this was the result. The bottom tank is a 29 gallon that I had in the shed, top tank is a new 75 gallon, and I built the stand. Not much in the top tank right now (a few shrimp, neons, loaches, and a snail). Flight 19 leader crashed in the top tank :) Blue Crayfish in the bottom tank. He killed a feeder his first day in the tank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Animal Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'd be more worried about the books being over a humid environment with the tanks right under them. Might want to relocate the books. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two Mikes Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Plastic and paint equals a VERY BAD environment for fish and/or crustacens!! It will leech off of the plastic and literally poison your tank. Super Glue, Tamiya cement etc will also all do the same. Your tank may recreate the ocean but it is NOT millions of miles of water, it is about 50 square feet so the paint, plastic and glue will not be diluted. I would hate for you to lse your wildlife but eventually you will. I have rasied fish for the better part of 20 years and understand the biogy of the ecosystem you have them in. It also does not matter if it is acrylic, enamel or laquer paint. Just a word of caution, nothing more. Cheers! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
