great to hear of the progress Necro I was wondering what was going on. this Project has been alot of stress relief for me watching someone else. I just had to bug Zenn and Basslover to make it a more interesting bump. it worked and it also brought you in to notify us of progress. I'm still watching so keep us posted and I wouldn't bug you so much if Basslover would get going on his lol

I'm origionally from the south so I can make unusual words like plywooded and get away with it! So new words in this thread so far are

Pondarium
Plywooded

lol, seriously though I really hope to get some major work done this weekend. If not I will definitely cry.

I'm building up one of my Fish rooms so my Mega Tank isn't happening yet... I don't need it anytime soon either.. Since I have a few Large tanks I'm not into the crunch yet :D... I amd going to build a smaller one before I take on the Big Boy anyway...Who can't use an extra tank right? :naughty:

aw man. 106 pages and no water yet. I just spent 2 days reading this Monster of a thread. Oh, subbing and i'll watch intently (daily sub...:) )

Hey Necro, i also like the idea of putting cons in there. If you put enough you might be able to have a little population for awhile. I know eventually the cats will have their way with them, but if you could find balance, you might be able to keep a "colony" of cons for snacks that will only go extinct ever few months. If you handle the fry good enough you'd always have a replacement colony on hand. Would really add some depth and drama to the tank. You could also just put clay pots and logs and such for hiding places. wont take too much of the footprint away from the cats and will provide enough hiding places to at least keep a percentage of the colony safe/happy.

just my thoughts. Now that I've invested 106 pages into this, I feel I had a right to say so :)

oh, quick question: i didn't see this mentioned, are you putting sand or another substrate in the bottom of the tank? any decorations of sorts?
