thanks folks. i am really pleased how it is growing in. still thinking about tearing it down and rebuilding it. i think i can do better....LOL

btw...here's a teaser....guess what just made it's way to my "build table"


if you just said to yourself, that looks like the red eye tank from another thread, then you would be right. not sure if i'm going to do a journal on this one or not. i might just build it and surprise you guys. that way, if it fails, i won't look like an idiot....LOL

Due to some poor planning on my part and shoddy construction techniques (my opinion), this tank requires repairs major enough that i need to tear the entire thing apart to complete repairs. I am going to take the opportunity to do a redesign as well. The problem now is i have no room for all of these plants. If anyone is interested in any of them, pm me and we can work something out i am sure. I will say this much though, if you want a plant and i am shipping it to you, i am offering no guarantees on them. I will pack them best i can, but i do not have heat packs and won't be purchasing them since most of the plants will be shipped out as an RAOK.

See you guys when the redesign is complete

well, sadly, this is going to be the last update for this tank. at least in this configuration. it all goes bye bye on tuesday. it needs to be rebuilt, but i figured i could at least post up the last pics of this tank

i will take a full tank shot before i tear it down. i just have a few things in the way of where i need to be to take the pic.

I am so confused !!!!!! Why !

[deranged chipmunk]

in answer to the big question, WHY??? here ya go:





the terrestrial section on the left lifted and is floating. this allows aquatic creatures to get underneath and possibly die. if they die back there, i can't remove them, so they will pollute the water. i just would rather tear it down and rebuild than risk my frog's health with polluted water. even though i run massive amounts of filtration in the aquatics area, i just won't take the chance.

all that's left after getting a care package together. sad to see it go, but i am REALLY looking forward to the rebuild.

everything left is headed to Alaska, to a very good friend of mine. i'm giving 10-1 odds that they all survive the journey. LOL oh, and all the duckweed and snails are headed to Michelle on Monday.....LOL
