our dining room and lounge are the same room, so the seperate them, i decided to use a tank as a divider.
now i have 2 tanks there which house my guppies (all +/-250 of them).

at present i haven't fully decided on placement of the heaters, filters, pump and light/s, so the cords are all over the place.

any suggestions and comments are always welcome.

:)

is it at all possible to convert the aquariums into one? i mean, put in a "water fall" inbetween both of them, and have it cascade into the smaller one. i think it would look really cool. any way, maybe a few hardy aquatic plants and some other color gravel to make it look i don't know, natural.

and, for the wires, if you have enough length, you can tape them to the sides of the aquarium insted of letting them hang down ;)

and as for the placement of the heaters, maybe under the gravel? i don't know if that would work or not, for i have never need use a heater.

in any of my aquariums, LOL

P.S. :kewl: :lol:

That's going to be awesomn!
As far as the cords go I would position as much of the equipment for the smaller tank where the two tanks but together and run the cords down the seam between the two tanks and along the edge of the book cases.

lol, i minuet apart! it would of been cool if it was at the same time.......LOL (look at the post times of dtroop and mine)

We must have been typing at the same time because your post wasn't there when I started, but I had to go stir dinner half way through my post. :laugh:

Hubby works till midnight so we eat dinner at about 1:00am :laugh:

Not :drunk: , :smoke: :lmao:

:drunk: eating dinner kinda late aren't you?





P.S. sorry about this, this is deffnitly :spam: ..... :laugh: funny though.

id do a cascade from one tank to the other then recycle water from the lower tank to the bigger one continuously. Though it would mean similar Ph range fish would have to be in each tank.

Ditto,

Except I would then have an overflow from the lower tank to a sump before going back to the taller one....

thanks for the replies. i have guppies in both tanks and the ph is the same in both too. in the end i will have my girls in one and the boys in the other.

for that size tanks i'd just cycle it back through a cannister filter rather then going to the trouble of setting up a full on sump. Especially when his got guppies that dont need the most intensive of filtration to begin with...i used to keep a few hundred of them running off in tank power heads :)

as for the waterfall/cacade idea, i have thought of the also. the only problem i have at the moment is having to cut the glass on the taller tank and, if we end up having to move them, i would prefer to not to because we may have to position them apart.

also, i must point out, that i a HER not a HIS :lol:

your gender to the side of your post says male ;)
