Fry tanks !

[crazy42bmx]

Update time. So with the exception of the tank i cracked, their all don and painted. Pvc hace been fully painted and plants are in for visual looks and added security hiding for fish. The filters received special attention yesterday and ill post some pics and explain what i did with those. But as of right now the tanks are ready for fry. I just need to figure out something easy/cheap for some lights. So far iv got two tanks takin for sure with brevis in one and some lepidiolamp hecqui in the other. Again these are going to be grow out tanks to raise and sell fry. So no gravel for easy poop cleaning.

Looking forward to seeing these full of fry!!

What type of paint did you use?

Its a spray paint from HD, the deep blue tint. I put on a few coats to give it good coverage, the bottoms just got cheap dollar cans of black.

Ok, so iv been trying to figure out a light situation on these tanks. Today i did. Went to Hd and they have a two bulb t5 setup thats 36' which fits the rack perfectly! So i got two of them, one for bottom one for top. Ill wire these up this weekend and put them on a double throw switch so i can have top or bottom lit or both. Sounds complicated but its not to hard. Also i didnt like the all white look so i had some blue sleeves layin around, figured they'd add some blue hues to the tanks. Fry factory is almost there !! Lol

Ok so today i finally got the light hooked up and wired in. With so many tanks and regular fish maintenance i get a lil bit busy. Lol. So i wired these separate, but on the same switch so that i can have the bottom/top or top on or off. Lights really arent anything special or fancy just some 36 t5 hd fixtures. But they're working for what i need. Heres a few pics to show the setup and lit up tanks.
