OH TOLEEDY!

what is that black thing on my nice clean gravel, bloody plecos , only been in there 15 mins, also i noticed that the join in the background is really stands out, you can hardly notice in real life.

here is a pic of a crypt with sucker plant growing by rhizome just for interests sake( i planted the crypt about 1 yr ago before i knew you could take them out of the pot)

a bit of wood ,some crypts, and 3 electric yellows( who are hiding)

OH TOLEEDY!

no not planting all 4, just 1 tank properly and putting a few crypts (my favorites) in another.
as to being a superstar] im a very long way off that.when i can finally get my hands on a pressurized co2 system ill try to set a tank up like you guys

The catfish ate the foam ? They must be very bloated . Too bad, it was a nice trick.

You gonna plant all 4 tanks tomorrow? Wow, hope you back will hold up for that task. Yeah, it sounds fantasic, 4 tanks, 4 themes, 4 different plant setups. You have all the tools to become the superstar of planted tank logs .

Can't wait to see more details,

ingo , only 4 tanks on the stand, the top framework is for me to mount lights on.
all the tanks will be planted to some degree( i have heaps of plants arriving toomorrow ) so this log will probably be moved to the planted forum eventually.

as to the matt filter the two i had running were working great until the foam started to disintergrate on me. i still dont know what caused it but someone suggested that my bn and other plecos had been eating it.
that could be the cause because in the rhs of the pic you can see the part of the matt that was out of the water at the top.

dan76,

It looks very nice so far. There must be some enormous pressure on each of the legs. Now you have 4 tanks on it, will there be 6 when it is all done (2 way on top)? How many gallons is a 4 foot tank, 55? That would be 220 gallons on 4 tanks, and all can look different, very nice .

I missed the entry where your “Mattenfilter” failed. What happened?

its in the carport , its about a 6in concrete slab so no worries there and as the slab isnt completely level i got the legs be made so they can be adjusted

OH TOLEEDY!

wow...one of my other hobbies besides fish is cars, and through cars i got into welding...when i see a stand like that it makes me wish i had a "Tank room" and i would fab myself something to house multiple tanks...i can only imagine at this point even being able to have my ten gallon up and running so i can use it as a hospital/ quaranteen tank,LOL.

it looks really good. as a previous poster mentioned, the point weight will be really extreme, especially with those poited legs.

with the bracing your friend did, from what i can see, it wont be the stand that gives, more like the concrete might crack around its legs if its a thin slab. if its in a basement? no worries

here is a pic, stand is painted , and i have 2 tanks on the stand as a test to see how it goes , as usual i did everthing in a bit of a rush so my tank room looks like a bomb hit it .
with the failure of the foam for the mat filters i decided to use an aquaclear 500 for each tank.

let me know if you want pics of different things

cheers dan

I'm sure you've already thought of it, but be extrodinarily careful where you put that, hopefully it'll be on concrete!! The point load of that will be killer with all those tanks and the weight

Can't wait to see it with some tanks!!

That stand looks very strong & four 4 Foot tank will look really good.
Well Done.

OH TOLEEDY!

That looks like one very strong stand. What are you going to use under the tanks and on top of the metal framing?

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

well i was finally well enough (i have a bad back) to go and pick up my new tankstand from my mate who welded it up for me(its been finished for about 8 weeks) so i can now get started to set up my next 4 4ft tanks.
