What does your tank room look like? - Page 6

Thanx, that and the basement is what sold me the house.

I am probably one of the few people that have a basement in Central Florida.

Nice rooms everyone!!

THEBMAN, that above tank refugium looks great the way you have it, the audio equipment looks sweet as well.

DiLLy · #**128** 01/20/2004, 09:22 AM

man those are some nice rooms.. and I thought my 32" TV was big!! Looks like I'll have to do some talking with my GF

I'll post some of my area tonight

MacnReef · #**129** 01/20/2004, 09:24 AM

Yeah, I love my 55" Mitsubishi...now if I could just stop spending money on my tank get some home audio equipment.

And one last one

Sorryfor the quality of the pictures

OMG TYRYFIN - your room is amazing! I'm definitely going to show the pics to my wife before the architect finishes the plans.

Steve - the new house is on a golf course - so we have to park the cars in the garage. If you have some time would you send me a PM with how you set up your rig? It looks like everything I need to do for our new house. I'm thinking I could enclose the gear in a wall unit in the garage. Then I'd have less to worry about. Plus I'd be all set to upgrade our 90 to a 180/240 when I get some cash. The new house has pretty much put a halt on my reefing....

Thanks,

Fuzz

OMG TYRFIN-i second that motion! 2-220g right next to each other! Off the wall is all i can say.

THEBMAN-love the upstairs tank! Looks great and adds such a nice touch. You have any photos of the inside!

This thread has been sweet!
Very nice rooms everyone! Keep the photos coming!

Cheers. Rich K.

finding nemo,
I got a seahorse and some crabs and one shrimp, I wanted a refugium but wanted to display it so i came up with this idea,

also thanks scuba raven

THEBMAN · #**135** 01/20/2004, 09:53 AM

TRYFIN that is a awesome setup.......

Racenrick here is some pics

I'll have to get some more.

Fuzzy · #**136** 01/20/2004, 10:09 AM

Hey Bobby,

I love the overhead fuge tank - great Idea. Especially the Seahorses. We have our ponies in a 25 tall - they will be getting a 56 tall when we move. Has the grape caulerpa given you any trouble going sexual? We had a problem with ours so I yanked it and went with only prolifera and red graciliaria.

TYRYFIN
thats an awesome setup for sure! makes my 100 next to the 30g cube next to the tv look lopsided!

O well... all i can do as an apartment dweller for now! hehe... I will take some pics when i get home tonight. (after i clean!)HAHA

THEBMAN · #**138** 01/20/2004, 11:41 AM

Hey Fuzzy, actually there is little grape in there, its mostly the fern calupra,

what do mean my going sexual?

Dk Coral · #**139** 01/20/2004, 11:58 AM

Well heres my Danish 2 room apartment and the tank offcause

First the tank by the dinning table :

The dinning table...

Rest off the living room :

Im a student so not to much fancy stuff in there

Fuzzy · #**140** 01/20/2004, 12:15 PM

Hey Bobby,
When some types of caulerpa reproduce they start to turn white and release a cloud of nasty white gunk that wreaks havoc with the tank. Halmaeda is the worst for it - really messed up our Seahorse tank when we were total newbies. I had to do a 50% water change to save the ponies.........

Brian - your apartment looks like a palace compared to what I had in college - at least you have real furniture and a nice looking tank!

Fuzz

Dk Coral · #**141** 01/20/2004, 12:21 PM

Fuzzy - I used to be a electrician so i have earnt some money in my life before i started to study again(and still do every holiday) - and we have a good system here in Denmark where everybody who is a student gets money every month from the state

So im NOT complaining.....

By the way - most my furniture is DIY !!

jimmer · #**142** 01/20/2004, 01:09 PM

Gosh, thats beautiful with the light in the room out, can I ask what you feed the sea horses? I have them also, wild caught unfortunatly, lost the daddy that had fry. Trying to get them to eat frozen mysis and 2 of the 3 horses that I have are eating that now. They are in a 20 gallon full of pods, bristle worms and lots of Algae, here is it.

finding nemo · #**144** 01/20/2004, 01:20 PM

Wow, did you guys clean before taking the pictures? They are beautiful and the tanks are spectacular.

THEBMAN · #**145** 01/20/2004, 02:49 PM

Finding Nemo,
we use frozen mysis also, but in the beginning we used small guppies he loved them.

finding nemo · #**146** 01/20/2004, 02:53 PM

Thanks thebman, did they have trouble catching the guppies? I went to the fish store to get some females but they said the sea horses wouldnt be able to catch them?

aqua_obs · #**147** 01/20/2004, 03:07 PM

Nice Brian Slot, I wish I was a student! Where can I get a copy of EUROMAN magazine, maybe that is the secret! Nice job on all that furniture too.

I need to take a pic of my room right now. I just pulled the 150 apart and it looks like there was a hurricane in there. Finally I got the tank perfectly level and added a big sump. I can start working to finish the room. I have a bunch of island souveniers and tropical plants to add to give it an ocean look. Right now it looks like the Jersey shore w/o the bodies!! (no offence meant).

steve68 · #**148** 01/20/2004, 03:24 PM

i like that seahorse tank

THEBMAN · #**149** 01/20/2004, 08:06 PM

no they don't have any problems, acutally it is kind of funny watching them eat, how they glide up to them and then pow you can't even see them grabbing and swallowing them they move so quick

here is one that is funny crab getting a free ride,

and grab a margaritta or corona and kick back

you can see how the bottom tank bows out in this one

this is another tank we have in the study, we keep a bamboo shark and sohal tank and eel in this one.

finding nemo · #**150** 01/20/2004, 08:16 PM

wow, way pretty
