seahorsemad Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Changed over my seahorse tank on the weekend and thought i better show you guys. My old tank and stand were good and well made (made by my partner) but the stand was made of MDF and was unfortunately was not holding up against the salt water. The old stand did not really have the look i wanted and well...what better excuse to get a bigger tank. Got my new tank custom made by Tough tanks and am very happy with it. Only thing i have to get is add a reflective background as i dont want to paint the back of the tank. Anyone know where i could get one? http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h42/s ... ver033.jpg old tank http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h42/s ... ver042.jpg new tank being filled up http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h42/s ... ver057.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h42/s ... ver055.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seahorsemad Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Thanks guys, seahorses are cold water. Wanted the stand to look like a piece of furniture that i could have in my living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Im probably being very blind but what is the black thing at the top of the tank that looks like a rorzacs inkblott ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Little tip about photobucket for you Seahorsemad, when you post the pic, copy the bottom web address looking thingy under your pic in photobucket, and paste into your post. It will then display straight up, like this. By the way, the new tank is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seahorsemad Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 the thing at the top is a log which has to water log, the cabinet was made by tough tanks and thanks for the tip about the pictures. Wasn't sure which one so just picked one Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelifaxNZ Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Definately a good looking tank setup. Please put up more photos when you have the seahorses in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seahorsemad Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hi Pomereef, thanks for your concern. It had been in the tank previously. but i had taken it out a couple of weeks ago before the move. Promise its not leeching nasties into my tank. Will try and get some photos of the horses soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
