Well Carson I think you have your hands full

Actually all very nice. I think I know alot of what you have for live stalk from reading many of the other threads you have contributed to. You have a very interesting selection of fish.

Also I think a see an African Cichlid tank down near the floor on the last picture. I bet most people here started with a few of those. All around god stuff!

[NaClH20NMYVEIN]

Oh the power bill!

 

[Absint Reefer]

I know I split it with my parents

 

[Bobby417919]

Dame that is a lot of tanks!!

They look very nice and clean.

And yes the power bill!!

 

[Hattie B]

Wow! your parents are really nice..

when I lived with the folks, I had one FW tank with my beloved mollies in it and it overflowed and ruined a small (very small) part of the carpet and they made me get rid of it.. That day.

I like them

 

[Absint Reefer]

My carpet that's in my room is pretty much shot I'm continually reminded about that...

oh, the fish but has bitten you hard!
i commend you for keeping up with all of them so well, and you should be really greatful you have such awesome parents. i too was allowed only two tanks growing up, but now that i am grown and my parents have divorced, they both have gotten involved in the hobby and have tanks ofthier own, because they missed mine being around. i set my dad up with a 150 african cichlid tank in his basement, by the entrance to his soundproof music studio (all his old fart hippie friends love that tank!) and he has a 10 gal quarantine/ nursery in line on display next to it (he frequently has babies) and he got his new wife involved in a 20 gal ornamental goldfish tank.
my mom has dwarf puffers in a planted tank, and softshell turtles
there must be drugs in the fish (lol) why else would we all get so addicted?!
i like your rock formations, and the fact that they have caves for the fish to hide and swim. my only suggestion would be that you add some pagoda stone or lace rock to your african tanks to creat more in and out caves for them. if you do this myou may wind up with babies!

thanks, I am very thankful I have cool parents. I was thinking of putting some texas holy rock in the 30gl african tank the other fw tanks in my room are little tetras or some peaceful south American cichlids. As for rockwork I built up the rocks using broken clay pots that you get for free just about at Lows that has seemed to work out pretty well so far doing some experimenting

Nice room you have there carson. Looks like a lot of work to keep everything going. One day i hope to have a few more myself, but right now 1 is going to have to suite. But all the old salts i talk to say that it always start with one and before you know it you have 4 or 5! Something to shoot for..... good work.

 

[sunfishh]

Great looking tanks. Do you have a favorite?

 

[Absint Reefer]

Hard to pick out a fav because each tank I have something way different so it defiantly makes it hard. But if I had to pick one it would probably be the 55gl in the second pic just because its visible on almost all sides. Nothing put a clownfish in it right now but plan to add some smaller rare or unusual fish in the future.

 

[Grouperhead]

Looking nice. I cannot wait 'til I get out of my current apt and have room for multiple tanks - however, that won't be for at least 2 years

 

[dkk08]

hey carson wat metal stand r u using? Aint u afraid of rusting? I'm using Wrought Iron stand in my room for a 2 tier 48"x18"x18" tank sets and the stand is beginning to rust... just wondering how long more it can last before I finally burn a big hole in my pocket and redo the whole stand and setups

By the way I thot I was the only person with all the tanks in my room... LOL I love the sound of moving water

 

[SW1TCH]

Nice looking tank Carson when i get my new tank up i will post pics of my fish room also.

 

[kjmst29]

Would it kill you to pick up your socks before taking pics of your room?

 

[stevebydac]

I'm jealous. You are lucky to have supportive parents like that. Heck, I live alone and I can't win the argument with myself to set up a room like that!:spin2:
