So aquariums were made for water?

[CodyW]

I've stumbled into here through google and have found myself frequenting quite often so I figured I would make it official. I've been keeping vivariums for years, about 10 aquariums, and zero fish. Recently I've found myself with a 30 gallon hex which is going to be reef and 100g FOWLR which I hope to upgrade to reef if I can fit some MH under my hood...I love the shimmer. I've been using forums for my herps for years (Moderator at www.herpcenter.com) but didn't think to check some saltwater ones out, until recently.

Here's some of my vivariums:
55 gallon paludarium with 4 D. auratus




Everything is custom but the tanks. My first real endeavor with power tools except when I built wobbly skate ramps as a kid. It's my pride at the moment, until I get my saltwater tanks how I want them





And now what were all here for, here's my new 100 gallon, It's still cycling with some damsels. We'll probably end up using it mostly as a grow out tank for the 30.


I'll get some more pics of the tanks up later. I thought I had more in my photobucket account but I guess I never uploaded them.

Those are sweet looking vivariums. There are a few people in my biology classes that have cool looking vivariums. I like the look of them I might get started you've got my juices flowing.

Nice vivariums! So what you do try to replicate, rain forests and stuff? Nice! You've come to the best forum for saltwater & freshwater care.

If you need any help drop me a line, they are MUCH less maitanance than an aquarium .

I try to keep the vivs as ecological as possible, pretty much biotopes, it depends on what, and where it is from, that is going to be housed in it.

I'm tring get pics of my tanks up at the moment but can't find my camera cable...

Welcome Cody.. those tanks are SWEET!

I think I could use your help with my turtle tank. I want to do the same thing with it. Prepare for a lot of questions!

Thanks for joining!
