Loving the scale of the rocks and diftwood in there. Looks very natural, almost like it should have some native fish in there.

Moved part of the jungle val out of the 60g and into the 260g. Tank is 7ft long.

That's awesome. Val is supposed to be easy but I've never had luck getting it super long like some people.

I think all the natural light has helped.

I have been operating my fish room on the assumption that my water supply was treated with chloramine. I spoke with the publics works department today and discovered much to my delight that they only run chlorine at 0.5ppm. I can now set up a simple AWC and not have to worry about killing my fisheys. So excited.

Drilled the end of the 220g to start prepping for the auto water change system. Took f..o..r..e..v..e..r to drill through 1/2in glass.

Plumbed the 260g. I know I purchased 2 1in 45 elbows bit I can only account for one so I had to build this ugly return.

 

[fishguy1978]

The 260g is up and running. Only hiccup was the return hose had holes in it.

Wowza. What are you using for lights?

Wowza. What are you using for lights?

For now it's a dimmable led spot. Not sure of the rating as I got it as part of a setup from CL. Thankfully, it's water proof as I have already dropped it in the tank once because the cord is to short and I tried repositioning the egg crate it is resting on.

Google says this is what I have for a light.

Your fish room certainly has changed since the first time I saw it, which doesn't seem like all that long ago...

I moved some stock around today. The 260 now houses the 3 G.B., 2 chocolate cichlids, the H.N. and a LDA068 Clown pleco.
Bulkheads are on order for the water change system.

 

[fishguy1978]

well I was looking forward to having multiple chocolate cichlids in the same tank. I came home for lunch and found the smaller one dead on the floor.

First tank drilled and getting prepped for the Nanochromis Splendens.
