    180g Show Tank

    Got the thumbs up to move my 180g from the fishroom to the basement under one condition: that it looks nice. That means no brown fish that hide all of the time. Or bichirs. Or other hobbyist fish. I was down the mental road of setting it up as a Lake Malawi tank...haven't done one of...

    New dual tank setup

    I posted my new 55 and the stand I built recently and it didn't take long to decide the bottom shelf was really best suited for a second tank. I just added this sweet 30 long underneath and it fits like a glove. What do you guys think.
