LukeSR Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Man i love fish tanks. Ive always had a dream that when i move into my own house one wall will be a huge fish tank Got any far away pics with the fish in mate?? Quote
nazquflilma Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Nice fish mate ...I own a couple of fishtanks myself....I keep oscars and angelfish Quote
Russleh Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 cool hobby. only thing i dont like about fish is when you have to clean them out. very relaxing to watch though. Quote
CRaZyKiD Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Hey man, thats pretty damned cool... Fish are pretty awesome to watch and the light in the tank with them all swimming about whilst watchin TV is pretty cool! Bet the tanks were a fair whack!CK Quote
glanza179 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 not got any distant pic will try get some in the next few days, the big tanks i luckily picked up off a mate 2nd hand so got them both for the same price it would of cost me for one.Jim Quote
glanza179 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 couple of pics i took today whilst doing water changes, refections are a nightmare at the moment so pics arent greatJim Quote
Nanglebadger Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 dude, thats outstanding!!!!we have a couple of tanks in the house here too, one tropical and one marine. My brother recently stopped working for Exotic Aquatics in Belfast, so i'll let him add exactly what we have here in the house as he knows his stuff inside out now lol!!very cool Jim mate!Phil. Quote
Steve GT Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I've always said if i ever win the lottery im going to have built in tanks in the walls and little gaps behind the walls so they can swim through the house lolalways been a dream of minevery good hobby mate keep us updated on all new additions boyo Quote
Sparky Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 That sounds awsome ^^I would like one built into a false wall where you can stand both sides and see through etc.Pretty cool tanks mate Quote
chanelle1234 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 looks great bud, watching fish is so relaxing in my opinion. Curts dad has a marine tank, i could just sit there and watch them all day long.chanelle x Quote
glanza179 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 cheers for the comments,i dont know what the next additions will be, my taste is getting a bit past what you find in the local fish shops now,currently breeding Honduran red point convicts and Gold fire mouth cichlids so thats keeping my busy at the mo tooJim Quote

addz Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Very nice indeed!Where are they kept? some sort of out door shed?Just curious as you've done a fantastic job putting it together. Quote
glanza179 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 they are kept in my garage, it has a room built onto the back of it which i have used, guess it was the previous owners version of a shedJim Quote
