    Re: Aquarium photos

    I think fresh is best bang for your buck. Id rather spend my $$ on fish then equipment. For example, in my 125 I have three fish valued at around $1500 and I have only about $600 in the tank. If I took that same $2100 and did a SW 125, after buying all the equipment Id have barely enough left for any fish. Even then my 125 would be pretty much the same as the tank in the dentist office down the street. Since Im doing fresh and spending my money on rare hard to find fish instead of equipment, I can safely say that the group I have together right now the dentist down the street doesnt have, I can safely say that no one in the state of KY has ever had. I'm also fairly certain the co-hab Im attempting has never been done in this country, possibly the world so its kind of nice to know you have something that unique. The fish Im co-habing are VERY aggressive, expensive, rare and full of teeth. I could come home any day to a dead fish but so far so good. I will be gone for four days this weekend and as soon as I unlock my door Sunday night Im running to my tank and hoping for the best!

    Im glad you liked the site. A word of warning, be careful over there or the next thing you know youll be knocking down a wall to put in that 500 gallon tank or dropping $300 on a fish!

    They also have a semi active fishing sub-forum which can be pretty comical at times.

    Also the Louisville Tropical Fish Fanciers (local fish club) meets the second sunday of every month. The meetings always have a speaker that is very informative as well as a small auction to follower the speaker. Every spring and fall they have a big auction. Google LTFF for their website and yahoo group.

    I got to thinking, if you really like your Africans tlak to me next time you think about picking up more. Im good friends with Eddie Martin of Bluegrass Cichlids who offers the highest quality and best selection of African and CA/SA cichlids in town.

    Great post, I have a 55 gallon I built into my wall when I finished my walk-out, that really looks good, I am thinking about doing a small reef, roughed it in with plenty of power 2 circuits and 8 outlets, and and outlet at the ceiling for the metal halide lighting. I had just a regular salt water tanks years ago, and loved it, technology has came so far since then, that I may be leaning on doing another one real soon. Keep the pictures coming, really love looking at other peoples tanks, and fish.
