VegasFish's 65 gal. aquarium

Well, as I have told some of you in the threads I posted in the past I have ordered a 65 Gallon acrylic tank and a custom built stand. I have also purchased a wet / dry filtration system, protein skimmer, and several other parts that I will list later. I am going to purchase cured Fiji live rock from the LFS along with live sand. I plan on waiting a month or so before I add any soft coral or fish to the tank.

It is a good thing that every one on 3reef.com and all the books I have read told me to go SLOW because I was told yesterday by the LFS that the person building my stand has pneumonia and is in the hospital. Thus delaying my new hobby a few weeks. I know everyone loves to see pictures on this site so in the time being enjoy the picture of my kid’s bathroom fish aquarium. ;D



And yes I painted that with a few stencils. What us parents will do for our kids. I will update with pictures of the new tanks when it shows up.

 

haha niiiice that sucks about the guy making your tank though, keep us posted!

 

Looking forward to seeing it all cometogether...(as I am sure you are! )


Keep us posted!

 

Bummer for the stand maker , but double bummer for you have to wait even longer now lol!!!

 

WOW, nice bathroom

 

I love that bathroom!!

 

Hey Vegasfish, do you live in Las Vegas?? If so, I can recommend the LFS's you might want to check out before making purchases..

 

Yes I live in Henderson. I have been to several of the LFS which one do you recommend?

 

Sweet!!!!!

 

In Henderson, I would check out Green Valley Aquariums at Gibson & 215. Before you buy your live rock, go check out their Florida Aquacultured Live Rock. It looks sooo much better then the Fiji Rock the rest of the LFS's in town have. I'll post a pic when I get home I'm at work right now ):
