This 37 gallon tall aquarium is setup in my living room. Placed on a stand made from iron L bar that I arc welded some 11 years ago. Interesting side note, the company I purchased the steal from is now partnered with my current employer. The lighting setup is two T5 18w 6.5k from an Eclipse 3 hood, the filter and plastic light cover is long gone as these sit on a custom cut glass protecting the fish from jumping out. This cut-away hood casts a nice light on the back on the wall where the tank is setup. Large Rena canister filters the water with 2 Maxjet power-heads providing good water circulation for the fish.
The fishing in the tank: 8 Boeseman's Rainbowfish,2 Millennium Rainbowfish, 3 kribensis cichlid, 1 pleco and a beat up tetra that's been around for about 5 tank moves.
The tanks history and breakdown continues with each image caption.
Enjoy!
We'll see you next week with another post on Monday Feb 14th, 'The Office Experiment, 12 Gallon Long'.

Check out my first uTube video, this tank!

| This its current state. I'm grown in the java moss on the right. My plan it cover the Larger drift wood in the middle. The trace element drops from Sera sure have helped. |
 |
| Nice side shot. I need to get a shot that isn't so shaky. |
 |
| Bad condition here. Poor plants. My fiancee and I had just moved so I didn't get the proper care. I had to combine my 20 tall and two 37s. |
 |
| This is poor plant quality, at this point I had setup a 20 gallon tall tank that took some plant from the picture above. That tank is another soon to be blogged tank. |
 |
| I had a smaller tank that help krib fry, during the transfer the paired couple did there 'thang' so I had too keep them. |
 |
| This still didn't have any trace elements from Sera added, good water change with these basic plants show it doesn't take much. |
