Are those 20 gallon long tanks on 30" racks? I like, they take up less space than my concrete block/wood rack.

mgamer20o0 · 01-20-2008, 05:25 PM

36 inch long racks. they are only like $65 at lowes.

How is the racks stability if say ... bumped into? That may be something I try when I get to Fla if I have a spare room in the the new house. 2 rows of 2 back to back with 1 on the end kinda like you have there.

Some constrictive criticism if you'd like ... if not just ignore my presumptuousness ... when talking pictures of tanks cut all other lighting in the room off where the only light in the rooms comes from the lights on the tanks. Try a few pics with no flash to see if there's enough lighting in the tank for clear goo pictures, if not then see if your camera has settings for flash intensity ... start with lowest intensity setting and see if there's a "soft flash" setting as well. play with it a little and you'll be getting great pics of your tank inhabitants in no time. OH and clean the glass!

you had the right idea by taking the pictures from a slight angle instead of straight on but the film on the glass captured a lot of the flashes intensity instead of allowing it to penetrate into the tank.

thanks for throwing your idea out there though! I'm sure my wife will be calling you dirty names in the future if she finds out where I got the idea from

i had the camera it was a quick ok take a couple pics took me a min. wasnt too worried.

they are stable they are free standing. if you had them against the wall you could always attach them to a wall or something.

Breeding: currently nothing ... I'm sequestered in South Korea, "Osan" to be exact 2 days till I'm back in the states!!!! Florida to be exact, those Floridians have no idea what they're in for!! current Fry: see above tanks: 100, 55, 46 BF, 26 BF, 20L, 5 fry tank 20L planted with CRS is the only thing up (easy for the wife to care for in my stead)
