Dart Den

What's good people?

I just found this site today, and I thought I would post my current WIP on here.

I scored this tank and stand on Craigslist for $150. It's in pretty good shape except the front and side glass are a lil scratched up but not too bad. [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

I decided that I want a drip wall and a large pond in front so I drilled the tank and installed some 1/2" bulkheads.

I also ordered some real nice pieces of driftwood and bought a case of black pond spray foam, egg crate and nylon window screen, foam cups and went to work.

I started to cover the bg in titebond III but I decided that I wanted more surface area for mounting plants and for the frogs to hang out so I added more foam and wood to the sides and the covered it with titebond and peat.

On the right side of the tank I embedded four air lines connected to a single airline that will connect to an aquarium air pump to circulate fresh air. For filtration of my water feature I ordered a massive canister filter with a UV sterilizer built in. For lighting I ordered a 30" Coralife Aqualight Freshwater T5. Im probably going to order an Marineland Single Bright LED to supplement it.

Sorry to be so long winded but I had to cram a month of gathering and building into one post. Let me know what you guys think. [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Thanks Phil. I actually love the depth of column tanks. I'm not a big fan of the long, skinny 55's

Hey Phil, just wait till he gets it planted...I heard someone may be hooking him up with some cool plants to put in there...and some pretty frogs too.

Almost looks more "cube" than "column".

What's your target species for in it ?

Georgia hobby power ! Spread the love locally - awesome.

The dimensions are 31x19x29.5. This will house a very nice group of Luecs.
