INDY DIY GUYS

[Egon]

We are both married. In fact we both started this right after or before we were married. The women came before the fish. Neither of our wives are that into fish. If you saw the Christmas tree thread no single man would have 5 christmas trees in his house. That would take up fish tank space. I hope you took the bet and won. For further proof my profile page has my wedding picture with my wife, sister in law, and myself in wedding attire.

Cool set ups you guys have. I'm just starting to meet a few guys here in the Phoenix area. It's really increasing my fun level. I have one friend that has extra African Cichlids.... feeders for my guys
Most of my friends and my wife still think this hobby (obsession)
It is sort of an odd hobby.......

People give me weird looks all the time. Especially my coworkers and my wife. She is 99% not into fish, but she let's me do what I want.

Do you have a pic of the 10g multiple stand please?

 

[mike dunagan]

I will get a pic for you.

Today I ran a 15ft extension cord to a power strip for lights in the future. I got a step stool for Christmas and a inferred thermometer as well. So did a little work in the fishroom. The temp is not as high as I would like it. I still need to get some lights. I need to get the 125 up and going so i can clear some room in the fishroom. I did pick up my new (used) xp3 before Christmas (thanks pharaoh) and got it hooked up today. I wish they did the intakes in black.

Just paint the intake with Krylon.

I was just thinking about your 125 the other day. We need to just pick a day and knock out that stand. 125s are easy. It's the multiple mega-long tanks that are tough. LOL

 

[mike dunagan]

lol, I know... I will have to buy some kyrlon soon as well


We will set a date soon then.

Seconded. I've been lurking and stealing your ideas as I try to build out my fish corner. I've got three 10g that I need to set up for proper QT / angel baby growout, and I think I have a good idea for the stand, but I want to see what the masters say before I chop up the 2x4s.

Here's mine halfway through the build. Note**** I hadn't arranged things just yet. Only difference between mine and Mikes in the number of tanks. Mine has three side by side with three tiers. His have four single tank tiers.

you know since you got rid of all your acrylics, a in wall tank would look great there, just a observation.

 

[Pharaoh]

I know it would... and I thought about it. But I keep thinking resale value.
