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.

Steven,
Thank you so much for posting. Congratulations on an awesome show. I remember listening to your speakers with Luxman at your home. It was a wonderful experience. I’m so happy that you are...
Thanks for visiting our room with GT Audioworks.
We were trying to make A point by exhibiting in a smaller room than what we exhibited last year in Capital Audiofest. Point being that it is not...
Thanks!
Out of curiosity - I see a lot of the listings around ebay/etc. without the string grills. Is this common? This pair still has the grill, but the strings are very loose/saggy.
