I have 3 tanks at the moment, a 4 ft community tank with Platys, corydorus cats, bristlenose cats some gouramis and cherry barbs.
my 2nd 4ft tank sprung a leak and is at the moment stripped down for repairs, that is usually set up as a tang tank.
the 3rd tank is a 2ft hospital tank which is now holding my tangs: Black Calvus and Julidochromis Marlieri.
Repaired the 4ft tank by removing the silicone seal further than where I thought the leak was coming from and resealed. Left it for over 2 weeks, today I started filling the tank, got to about 1/3 full with no leaks, so I thought I would reconnect the filter which is an overhead trickle job, lo and behold I found where my leak was... not the tank at all, but the input to the filter. It is now siliconed.
First three photos are of my freshwater tank. It is a 60 gallon “planted” tank. This tank has been up for only three months and I only started to add fish about a month ago. Unfortunately I am at my limit. (Time for upgrade!) In order to keep the plants alive C02 needs to be injected and monitored closely. Too much and the fish can’t breath, not enough, plants die. Fortunately everything is controlled by computer.
Next three photos are my 50 gallon saltwater “reef tank”. This tank is installed in the wall of the entrance of my basement. Pretty much same chemistry applies. Think of it as analog v. digital, with the saltwater tank needing a tighter tolerance to maintain the ecosystem. Each have their plus and minuses but are equally beautiful, IMHO!
Both tanks are a challenge to maintain, and take a great deal of time, patience and dedication. It is very rewarding however and worth all the effort. Thanks for looking.
I worked a Dolphin Pet village as a kid. Ended up with a 50 gallon that followed me to college. I grew a couple large mouth bass to about 11" before I had to release them. They and their Dempsey and Pike cichlid tank mates put on a feeding show after collecting night crawlers.
I am building a record shelf that is going to hold about a 30 lb live plant tank. Plus a school of Neons.

The room dimensions are not ideal - there are probably some significant room nodes that need to be dealt with. You might try placing the speakers a couple feet further in to the room. The subs...
After a long absence, and not a lot of serious music listening (one of the many downsides of working too hard!), I am re-engaging with my music. Was delighted to see the M2 release and have read...
My tube search is almost ended. I absolutely love the sound I’m getting.
The verdict is in. KT-150’s still my favorite. The muddy bass of the KT120’s cleaned up nicely but the stage is still small...
