Yeah the wiring leaves much to be desired. I kind of set it up in a rush and did not do the 'drip lines' well. messy, messy, messy!

Re: What did you do with your tank today
I have not updated stuff in a while so here is what new with me in my fish keeping.
Since my post way back when...
My wife and I have moved and did a full remodel to the new home we bought and my 210 gallon tank is now sadly gone... lol dont feel bad it was replaced with a 300 gallon! My hairy puffer got an upgrade from a 40B with an Aquaclear 110 to a 65B with an Aquaclear 110 and Eheim 2217 along with a fancy new Current USA Satellite + LED light. I also finally got around to setting up the 'Extra' 65B I had for growing out two Oscars that will eventually go into the 300 gallon.
That is what Ive been doing - how about you guys? Whats new?

Re: What did you do with your tank today
I am waiting for my dwarf puffers to come into stock so my tank is currently home to a colony of cherry and Amano shrimp who got fed. Not too exciting, but satisfying because my tank is fully cycled and ready for and waiting for its two future puffers to get here!

Re: What did you do with your tank today
What a difference a couple years can make in the hobby. I am currently running 6 tanks. A 300 gallon community tank in the living room with large fish which include cichlids, bichir and bala sharks. Then I set up some steel racking in the garage that has two 90 gallon tanks, two 65B tanks and one 30 gallon. I now have 640 gallons that I take care of. A mix of fish in the garage tanks but I still have my hairy puffer and acquired an arrowhead puffer too.
With all these tanks going now there is constant work going on, lol.

Re: What did you do with your tank today
Decided to change out a tank. Upgraded my 30 gallon to a bit bigger 46g bowfront. This is the arrowhead puffer home. Because it is so inactive in nature, I decided to do this as a planted tank with anubias. This is my first go round with live plants so I picked an easy one.

Re: What did you do with your tank today
My Arrow is also in a 46 bowfront. I use it for snail breeding for my other puffers, too.
