my 29 egyptian

[Cankywanky]

it would be cool though

 

[fishlover25]

wow, nice tank

 

[mariners]

when ive made some modifications to this egyptian ill post the new picture on here of it. im going to do the background thing and if i can the sand thing, not sure about the river but ill give it ago, now all i need to do is wait until teh ich has definitely gone,put the fish in my 10 gl and get started! will it upset the cycle if i put new things in such as the sand?

 

[mariners]

and do u think if i put the sand over the blue it will look ok, because i was thinking of doing the river at the front, and just placing the sand ontop of the blue, only a thin layer but thick enough that you couldnt see the blue

How about an "Under Water" theme? J/J

ok so i think ive sorted the new idea out, space themed but the ground can be like the moooooooooon how does that sound?

Cool tank. I like it.I used to have an "Atlantis" tank, roman columns(We actually broke some of them purposely) but I got bored of it and changed it to a planted tank, just waiting for the plants to fill ni now.

 

[mariners]

cool, do u have a pic of it?

 

[catfishmike]

hey everybody just a small note on meds and stuff like go get some ick med.lets face it everyones tank has ick.the true cure to any fish diease is prevention not medication.meds have their place in the aquarium but not untill you have determined the problem and how to avoid it next time.and ick can often be cured with salt and rasing the temprature to 85f.

 

[mariners]

if your talking about me im using some and its nearly gone

[sugarbear001]

Love the tank. very nicely done a few more plants as others have said

 

[mariners]

thanks guys, i would love to see someone elses themed tank if its possible.

 

[HawkEye_Pierce]

definitely go with sand and for a background I would print out the wallpaper that comes with WindowsXP of the sand dunes during a sunset...or find a pic of the sphynx and print that out...looks good

 

[infant340]

people just put crazy accesssories in there tank these days

well nice job

 

[ecotank]

[mariners]

Are you sure it was ick in the tank? Maybe the curse of the Mummy j/k

Hey what about some brown paper for a background? You can draw (or trace) some heiroglyphics on the paper for a real Egyptian wall look

I think the hieroglyphic background would look damn cool. You could probably find some real hieroglyphics online in a poster size somewhere. Save it to disk, take it to kinko's, have it printed out and laminated (to protect against water).

If you were really industrious, you could find a translation of some hieroglyphics, pick a phrase that you like, and put those hieroglyphics as the background to your tank
