Why do you have to go and post those picutures????

I have an empty 90 gal in the basement that used to be a reef. But I don't have the space or money to set it back up again and I want to soooooo bad.

I have a 24 Gallon nano-reef at home that is just recovering from some neglect and sad case of red slime. I hate that stuff! Right now it just has some zoas and a couple of BW Ocellaris. I also have a small mantis in a 6 gallon at my work. I have to say he is the most interesting inhabitant I have ever had, so active building his cave moving all kinds of rocks, sand and empty shells. Here is a nice little vid of his dinner today. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT1hxjl5y7w]YouTube - Stomatopod vs Goldfish[/ame]

my old 20H freshie. it's too bad i didn't get pics of it in it's prime. this is about two weeks after i knew i'd have to dismantle it soon.

]It's getting set up again and going right next to my compact kegerator. It's going to be friggin awesome.

Part of the reason to rebuild my aquarium is for the presentation of the living room. A really awesome aquarium takes the vibe from "raging alcoholic with the beer taps in his house" to "pretty cool artsy guy that makes good beer".

We have a 25-gallon freshwater tank. Nothing fancy -- a pair of blue rams, an albino bristlenose pleco, some tetras (lemon and rummy-nose) and some harlequin rasboras.

This is a really old thread but I'm a new member and I actually have 3 tanks.

I breed Red Cherry Shrimp and Assassin snails and sell those regularly to fish stores and online or craigslist. I used to breed African Cichlids too but it takes too much space.

Right now I have a 10 gallon heavily planted tank with ~200 RCS and 1 Galaxy Rasbora

I also have a 29 gallon heavily planted tank with 4 Celebes Rainbows, 4 Cherry Barbs, 40+ RCS, 20+ Assassin Snails, 2 Dwarf Gourami, 1 Male German Blue Ram, 1 Triple Red Cacatoides Apistogramma, 1 Long Fin Albino Bristlenose Pleco, and 1 Clown Pleco.

My third tank is a 50 gallon Lake Malawi Mbuna Cichlid tank. I have 14 various Mbuna Cichlids, all male, 1 Bristlenose Pleco and a Featherfin Catfish.

I was wondering if there was a thread about this, there are a lot of similarities between the two hobbies. My experience with aquaria has really helped me to stop messing with stuff and let nature do its thing.

I have a 30 gallon with a couple of dozen neolamprologus similis. Very cool little Tanganyikan shelldwellers.

Cool i've thought about switching my Malawi tank to a Tanganyikan because of getting those shell dwelling cichlids

The similis are my favorite fish I've ever kept. It's like watching a neighborhood with the shells as their homes. They have tons of personality, its almost like you get to know them- who is pairing up with who, who doesnt get along and they breed readily, so you get to watch the kids grow up.

I had a 50 gallon of Mbuna and it was ok, very pretty fish but they didnt have the personality these little guys do.
