My first photo post Foolarium

Post by tom suter »

This is my first expirement with this. The tank measures 17" x 14" x 6".
There are four different panels fused, seperated by a 1" gap. The front is clear float glass. This one was done using Spectrum. Some of the fish I believe are a little to large and the one that has no color is black rainbow ird. The color is almost completely lost bad choice. Next one will be BE glass so many more colors to choice from and I want to play with Dichroic with it.

The stand doubles as a carrying case when transporting. Altogether it stands 20" x 31" x 10". Any suggestions would be appreciated. More pictures at http://www.picturetrail.com/tomsfoolery Click on whats new album
Thanks Tom

Tom,

I love it... and you don't have to feed or clean the filter.

Is it one piece of glass 6" thick?

Tony, no cleaning makes it nice. It is 5 individual panels. In the oak frame I have dadoes to slide the glass in. There is an inch space between each panel so I could drop gravel inbetween each panel. Thanks for looking.
