Okay, it's time I actually start posting. Michael has been busy the last couple of months putting together a fish tank. This all started as buying a used tank he found on Craig's list. We got a good deal on the tank, base unit, and filters. It came with lights and we just needed to add a heater. Well, so much for that idea. I wish I would have taken pictures throughout the process, but hindsight doesn't mean much now does it? Anyway, turns out that the base unit was rather warped. We didn't notice this right away, but the closer we looked, the more we could tell that there was simply too much water damage. Since the tank uses a filtration system that sits in the base unit (rather than the under gravel kind), when he rebuilt the base he needed to account for those holes at the top of the base unit. I don't know all the technical mumbo jumo, but suffice it to say it was a rebuilt for one reason or another. But, the final result looks nice....assuming he ever adds doors.
We added plants last weekend and a few small fish. Half of them died and the plants don't look too good. He added three more larger fish last night and looks like one is sick already.
