novafishy Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Really nice work Adam!! Cant wait to see the whole rack system up and running. are they going to be indivially filtered? or plumbed into a sump? Have u got heaters in each tank? or in every 2nd tank? I thought maybe the heat from the adjacent tanks just *might* be enough to "heat" the middle tank. definitely will be a few degrees lower tho, but I have done it this method before and it has worked. If u want to save on heating cost that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 3 tanks have heaters, one tank has white clouds. Tanks im not using will have white clouds until i need to put something else in. So that way ive always got some bacteria in a tank but no heating cost. individual filters btw Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6C1 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Powerfilters? I see a bit of a ripple in the tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novafishy Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 btw, nice pieces of wood! are they going to go in ur planted tank, Adam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6C1 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 ahh thanks Wes. I was thinking I was seeing things! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Its all run by air filters, and those pieces of wood were ones that were in a tank i took down. So they'll probably be put in one of the tanks on the top row. The tops for parents the bottom will hopefully be for fry. Glad you like it Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Adam You have put together an excellent setup that is both functional and neat. The aquascaping is also well done. Is that a Kribensis I see in the top tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 The little one you can see is one of the only 2 fry ive ever raised. That is a Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Nigerian Red" very similar to a krib except differently coloured. I also have a pair of Pelvicachromis suboccellatus "matadi" and the rest are randoms or dithers! I hope to get some more pairs and maybe some breeding bristles but moneys very tight right now so ill have to be patient. Adam Ps. didnt check to see who wrote the last post. I know you know about Pelvicachromis Ged! Thanks for the compliments all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wui39 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Nice and neat Adam. The stand looks a bit like what Baz had for his 4x18x18 although yours are 2 ft deep. Is there are a support in the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yep its got centre supports and funny you mentioned Baz as he made this one as well. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam ← My respect to the man, I built one of his stands and it has been great. My only complaint about it is that there isn't enough space between the tank top and the next tank, making it hard to get a bucket in there.

BaZ Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 You just need to make the rack taller wui, to allow a bigger gap between rows The measurements I used were chosen so that I could fit enough rows in between floor and ceiling Glad to see the rack is still going strong Adam. It was made here in the mountains, spent some time at Marsfield, and is now and your place. I like the paint job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
