Default new tank

Well, sort of. I took down my cichlid tank and put the
cichlids in with the turtles. Then I got very melancholy
about the pretty tiny fish I haven't had since I went to
sal****er and big cichlids, soooo all the bricks I hauled to
the basement, I carried back up to make a stand, the 55
gallon tank I gave away I replaced, new filter because I'm
tired of the bio-wheels, no ugf because plants don't like
that. I used the old gravel + tufa and wood from the turtle
tank so there was no cycling and I was able to put fish in
right away. Here it all is. I would like criticism; I'm very
willing to improve what I've got. Or some tiny fish that
would be happy here?

Sorry to barge in here, but your tank looks great already.... adding
fish would only make it more active, lively or colorful, and that's
your part...

Personally, I love your tanks, always have, always will.... especially
the turtle tank, 75+50, that is beautifully done, and a total
inspiration for my R-e-S tank that I just can't get around to....

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend....

Hi RedForman!

You were here when I last visited I don't know how long ago.
I've come a full circle, going from an 18 gallon fresh tank
to a 38, then expanding to 55, adding turtles and frogs,
enlarging to 75, 120, and 150, and even to sal****er. Then
suddenly I missed all the little fish in my first modest
tank and remembered how extremely easy it is to keep such a
tank. So here I am delighting in a little Molly or Tetra,
coming back here, and here you are! Thank you very much for
your kind words.

Not only are your ponds lovely, but I just pulled your frog
gif off the page and will if I can use it. As I write this,
I see there's another one. I'll grab that one too!

Please feel free to "purloin" them. I have many more if you need such
