Know this is totally un-tortoise related... But I had to share our newest venture new house, why not just knock an 8foot hole in the lounge wall.... Gives me an excuse to decorate eh?
Okay, explain. Huge aquarium or tortoise/turtle tank? I want to see pics when what ever is going in it, is in it. That's a great size for some great marine fish or even some stingrays.
That's great keep us updated on the progress. How many gallons is it? I have a 100 gal. marine only. Down sized and got rid of the smaller coral tanks. Can't wait to see it finished.
I'll get back to you on the gallons I'm not sure, it's 7x2x2 size wise. The fish have dwindled off over the last year and when we moved my husband had to take the 5footer apart to cherry picker it over the balcony,so all the stuff from that is crammed into a smaller one at present, waiting patiently... And the poor old 5er has been downgraded to "sump"
Fish wise we still have the token clownfish (hehe) a morish idol, filefish, one yellow tang and a 2foot-ish snowflake eel. We lost the best one recently, "Gilbert" he was a long horned cow fish, he was amazing, my husband had to put him to sleep and that's the first time in 5 years I've seen him with tears in his eyes. I'll add a pic just so you can see what an odd creature he was (Gilbert, not my husband. Ok, well, both but I'll only leave a pic of gilb haha)
Yes we have lots of zoas, been looking for some nice colours, pinks and purples. My husband has been on zophoria (website) some beautiful ones on there.
I know how it is when you lose a favorite pet, even a fish. I lost my dog face puffer earlier this year. He was like, well a dog. Always excited to see me, and I could pet him. I raised him up for 20 years. It was a sad time. I can't wait to see your fished pics or step by step would be cool.
Yes Gilbert was good with the greeting, used to come to the side when Newton fed him he's talking about getting another at some point.
Well I went tattooing today and came home to the ceramics fitted. The islands move about so Newton now trying to arrange them to how he likes them before fixing them...
And I also had the sole of my foot tattood... unrelated tho hehe. But never again.
:earlier question on gallons, 792litres or worked to US gallons it's 209 excluding sump. With the sump it works out at 354g.
Also- talking puffers, I REALLY love/would like a porcupine puffer... But he'd have to be in another tank
Did you make the aquarium yourselves and also the ceramics, home made too? Looking really nice. The tat, is the more painful on the bottom of a foot then most places?
