I'd like to have a set-up like that. Is the shelving attached to the wall by chance?
All the small tanks has just cherry shrimps and amano shrimp fry right now. I haven't decided what to get for them yet, maybe some dwarf puffers.

The shelving is not attached to the wall, it's a really heavy steel construction and very stable.

Here is a picture of the show tank in my living room. It's 10.5 feet long. If all goes well with my first batch of SAPs I might get some for the big tank too.

That show tank is awesome jegt!! If I had that tank, that's what my MBU would be in. Why not get one of those puffers? Although having said that, now I'm thinking that show tank doesn't look like it's wide enough for a big puffer to turn around in. Ignore what I said, sorry. :?

No it's only 20x18", it's designed for dwarf cichlids. I have about 40-50 Apistogramma Baenchi in there right now with tetras, corys, ottos and amano shrimp.

The SAPs are doing good. Five of them are happily eating frozen food (mostly mysis) but two are still holding out for the snails and shrimp. More photos coming soon.

I love your tanks and setup. Those are some lucky SAPs!

I'm learning that puffer fish are like pringles. There is no such thing as only wanting one.

Tanks:
38 gallon: 1 Figure 8 puffer, 1 Dragon Goby, 1 Knight Goby, 3 Black Mollies
30 gallon: 1 Blue Acara, 1 Bristlenose Pleco
120 gallon: Ratchet the Fahaka Puffer
