Drifter 851 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Been woorking on the new in wall discus tank some lately. Tank is now mounted into the wall and have started carving the rock wall. Will update pics as the build progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter 851 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Figured it was time for an update on this build. All the carving on the rock wall is done and have the tan base color painted so just starting the first of the shading work now. Still lots of work to be done and then it'll be time to do the in tank 3D background after the outer wall is finished. There has been a change in the meantime. After picking up some new fish at a club auction a couple weeks ago I found myself with a 10" Burundi frontosa. So the tank will be home to four frontosa over the winter and until I decide if I want to get a 6ft tank and more fronts and then do discus in this one, or leave the four fronts and add some Calvus in this setup.

Drifter 851 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hand carved rock wall is now done. Complete with hinged upper portion so I can access the tank easily for cleaning. Next week after I get back from a fishing trip I'll be starting the matching in tank 3D background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumelylady 188 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I understood basically nothing techical there, but it looks awesome and now I want fish. Way to go. Looks awesome thus far. Also, I like that someone other than almost every tractor collector I know has antique oil laterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter 851 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 New group of frontosa in this tank tonight. These fish are just too cool, they are found over 100ft deep in lake Tanganyika in Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifter 851 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Picked up some more Frontosa today for the newest tank build. One of them is a nearly foot long male with a huge nuchal hump which I am just in love with. Could sit and watch these guys for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
