well guys, big premier... after months of waiting and planning and buying equipment, its completed. the divider tank is finished and the fish moved into their new homes. and best part; they like it and are healthy.
most of ye will know about the tragic accident where my previously used materials for the dividers poisoned the water. no more of that. water is perfect and fish are exploring happily :lol: :lol: :-D 3 sections are free and 3 are used atm.
my sorority got a lil clean after the infestation of algae lol. also, all cables and plugs are not hidden and labeled for extra efficiency
and now with the spare room and equipment i set up a small quarantine station for sick or new arrived fish. only inhabitant atm is salmon, which has severe fin rot atm... poor guy. he will join the other as soon as he's well.
but now, less babbling and more pics!!!!
lights on, curtain, MY TANKS!
Great job! I don't normally like the look of divided tanks but yours look really nice, clean and professional.......good job and your other tank look nice too.......
thanks dh. the road was long and rocky though....
quite alot of money to get it this far and its not even stocked yet, nevermind fully decorated... :roll:
That is alot of division for a 20 gallon long. I don't think I'd ever do something like that with a 20 gallon, but, You did do it rather professionally.
At first I sort of thought it looked like a prison, with the vertical bars, but ... as said by others, it is very clean and professional looking. DO you think you'll add any plants to it?
(I really dig your alternate aquarium, that one looks fantastic).
thanks
its actually 32g. loads of room. they look tiny in their sections. i make the most of the space. no need to make the sections bigger than they need to be.
ah a bit of black tape and it looks professional ha :lol:
Great Job! They ALL look terrific! Just did a 10 gallon in to 4 sections last week myself. It's a lot of work, but worth it when you get the final result. Mine is exactly like yours, except that my "walls" are made of black needle point cloth, not white. Again, beautiful job. I'll try to post a picture of what it looks like in black.
no the plants are fake. i am never lucky with plants. they always die. tried all sorts.... lol
salmon is doing ok. it stopped spreading but i wanna give him another few days too heal up. last thing i need in the new tank is finrot!
maehk bit his tail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its not too bad but he looks like a crowntail with rays missing now.... i hope it heals and he's gonna stop it!!! he ate today and said hello and seems happy... hope he'll stop!!!! stupid idiot fish!!
1 more hour and im going to the pet shop for the new boys and girls!!! so excited! all the way from singapore!
the other filter in the sorority isn't baffled caus it does the girls no harm.
haha i have to admit i never vaccum the gravel.. mainly caus im lazy. from time to time i take out the biggest poo with the net. workd the treat too ;-)
I have to say that is my favorite divided tank EVER!!
I had a horrible experience in my first attempt at dividing a tank and gave up. My favorite fish got stressed out because of the other fish and bit his tail off
So, no more divided tanks for me... unless you want to come set mine up ROFL
well my fish did bite their tails too but i had no other way to do it so i accepted it. i think its worse taking the fish out again. i left mine in there and said "get use to it..." :roll: and although their tails are ripped still, they have stopped biting.
haha bit far away from me, but id luv to!
