New Year, Old Fishes, New Look! (Pics Intensive)

Jon-san · 02-01-2013, 11:21 AM

Been wanting to do this for awhile, but work and play kept distracting me. Finally on a quiet New Year's Day morning, decided to bite the bullet and complete this project of mine.

This is how the tank looks before the project started

After much Huffing and Puffing and back-breaking bending, the new setup is complete. Quite satisfied with the results, which turned out better than I expected. Thanks to Mr. Beamswork and Mr. Hafary, I now have something great to start the new year with!

The rest of the posts will be pics intensive. Thanks for viewing! Your comments appreciated!

The new setup lights up the entire living room

My very first XB, rather unhappy with the brightness...

The broko, who seems oblivious to all that's been happening so far.

The white tile effect is visible almost within the same day on this odd-bar IT.

And on this ST as well, although I'm curious why there seems to be patchy marks on the upper half of this fellows body.

Cute Mr. Suck Suck. The brightness doesn't bother him at all.

My courting couple, the pair of Caquetaia Spectabilis.

My handsome odd-bar IT, posing behind his favourite decal.
