by **kizno1** on Sun Jul 11, 2010 11:08 am

I want to make a rack of tanks for my bn fry Because if i leave then in the tank my banjo munches them and if i move them into the tank with be bigger fry they get bullied out of food a starve.
So which design do you think would work best? there terrible drawing but i just did them quickly on paint.

The second one would be alot easier and safer option because it wont be 4 shelves hight and need to be as sturdy. But im not sure how good the filtration would work in the second i think the filtration in the first one will be alot better. Im thinking over all the 2nd one will be best but just wanted to see other people opinions.

Or to save a bit more room i could do the 2nd one but in a L shape.

Wow that's all flown completely over my slow brain! Sounds excellent though

That would take some fiddling to get the flow correct I 'd think. Either shelf system you might select I'd secure to the wall with L-brackets of sorts' They don't have to be large ones, just for insurance!

I would PM incognito if I were you.

She runs the little tubs off a sump and there are around 6 across and 6 up. (or more?)

She uses a simple plastic tub from somewhere like home bargains with a pump and heater in the sump and filters all the tubs

Thank you Netty. I do realize I wasted just as much case after the triple and also the subsequent inquiries including this one!

I'd love to see pics of this if you do it, sounds like it'd be amazing and great space-saving too Smile

by **kizno1** on Tue Jul 13, 2010 4:47 pm

Ill take some pics when i do it :]. it mite take me a while to do though.

by **kizno1** on Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:40 pm

Im going to go for the 2nd one but in a L shape and add another level with 1 54L tank on top to keep just the adult bns in there to free some space in my 30G for a pair of cichlids :]

by **2tall** on Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:46 pm

Good choice Kiz! The L- shape will be more stable. Starting soon, or still in the dreaming and planning stage?

by **kizno1** on Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:49 pm

I can get all the wood and bits no problem but just need to finish off working out sizes and bits. shouldnt be to much longer because i have a 7 week holiday after next week to work on it.

by **2tall** on Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:55 pm

That'll keep you busy! Having them on a rack definitely makes better use of your space! I can't beat that into some peoples heads around here!

by **kizno1** on Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:59 pm

Just a bit but it will be worth it ones its up and running. Yh theres not much space with 4 other tanks in my room between 30-10G hahah and then i can have them all running of of i sump and 1 heater rather than having them all septate.

by **2tall** on Sun Jul 18, 2010 8:02 pm

Always good to make life a little easier! I'm posting a ? in Cichlids for you! LOL!

by **kizno1** on Sun Jul 18, 2010 8:07 pm

Haha once the BNs are out th taqnk i don know whether to get a female Apistogramma Agassizii for the male i already have or to get a pair of rainbow cichlid, keyholes or yellow convicts if i can find them.
