fishroom

I have to move fish around to accommodate moving tanks around. Looking forward to it....sort of, but it will make me happier with the flow and restrict collectoritus issues. I thought I'd be able to turn the shrimp tanks around to face front, but with my latest epiphany, as far as arrangements...

I couldn't remember when I last posted up about my fish room so figured I would. Earlier this summer, I had considered building a fish building on my property, but with the economy as unstable as it is, i have decided to revamp my fishroom instead. These pictures will serve as my...

The new fishroom is 70% set-up...and 120% stocked. Having a utility sink down there makes doing water changes really easy... Anyway, some of my old fish and some new ones have begun to spawn. I'm not really set up for raising a bunch of fry at this point, but here's what's bred: -...

A few months ago I moved my breeding pair of managuense to a larger tank...180 gallons. They are the only two fish in the tank. They bred frequently...like clock work, actually...in the previous tank. After I moved them it took a while for the pair to settle on a new breeding area. These...

Lot's of light. I positioned four Nikon SB-900 flash units on the top of the tanks in this series of photos...with the exception of those noted. As you can see from the photo below all four flash units are lined up on top, diffused and pointing straight down. If you look closely you can...

Going along the same vane as a previous post on a light set up for the Zonatum. My goal her was to light the fish both top and bottom as I have previously. The problem I have had in the past is adjusting the lower flash to a point where the light would illuminate the bottom of the fish while...

The hogaboomorum are breeding AGAIN. I have two 75 gallon tanks full of fry that I plan on bringing to the convention. I recently posted a new lighting set up that I was experimenting with (much to my pleasure) and used something similar with these photos. Here's the male and female doing...

I wanted to try something different with the lighting set up. Here are the pictures that I shot yesterday. The goal, of course is to evenly light the fish without overly illuminating things around the fish. Here's how I lit the tank. There are a total of four flash units on these...

Some recent photos of the trio of F0 Amphilophus hogaboomorum. I have three of these beautiful fish in a 180 gallon tank. The breeding pair are on the right hand side....the "third wheel" male lives on the left. They breed regularly...and are quite beautiful breeding coloration. Here's...

I want to rid my basement fishroom of humidity. Currently, I run a newer dehumidifier in the room (8'x12') and it does a decent job, but I have to empty the bucket about daily. I don't think that this is a permanent solution for two reasons: it's probably using a ton of energy and kicks off and...

The pair are beginning to breed in their new tank. The male The female...a little ticked at the intrusion. A lot of posturing and lip locking They selected a nice flat stone for breeding...field stone from our farm...nice stuff. Flashing the female...or maybe that was dodging...

Long story short: We've moved to a new house, so I have a new fishroom. For those who had the pleasure of visiting the previous sweaty man-cave, this one is much wider... Currently all of the tanks (empty), concrete blocks, etc. are sitting on the floor...ready to be assembled. Before I jump...

Hello CCA! After a bit of a hiatus I finally got www.tedsfishroom.com rebuild. This time around I am trying a video blog. Please stop by when you get a chance. The fish room tours will be coming back also, but as video tours. We are making our plans for next July, and it looks like I will...

I have some new action in the fishroom. 9bdA50LxVL0 Here is the tank/species breakdown as of today: Top 55g: Copadichromis borleyi Nkhata Bay Cynotilapia afra Lupingu Cynotilapia sp. "Hara" Gallireya Reef Fossorochromis rostratus Lethrinops sp. "Deep" Malopa Metriaclima...

Just thought i'd post a couple pictures of how I have my tanks setup since i moved in february. I currently have a 230,180,90,45,40B,29,20L,15 all setup. Here are some pictures starting from i think march until today. Hopefully it's not a picture overload and they resize themselves... The...

I'm posting here before it goes up on Craig's list. A free microfiber overstuffed chair. Great for watching fish (or drinking beer or whatever). Mocha-colored. Needs to be cleaned, but otherwise in good shape, no tears, etc. Must go by this weekend. Pick up in Gaithersburg. PM for details

Some (bad) pictures of my fishroom... Matt

OK, so I'm looking to build a fish room this year, so I'm going to have a bunch of questions for those of you that have done this before. In future threads I'll detail more of my ideas and plans, and describe the space it's going in, but for now, I want to make sure I understand fully some of...

added some more tanks, still not done y et
