    New Box Head

    I am new to fishbox, but have had many aquariums. I recently bought a new tank from a guy and he said I should check out this site. The new tank is my largest yet. 110 gal. Currently have a 45 gal and 5 gal. Have had tanks from 5-55 gal. about 8 total. I have Cichlids, some cats, and a bubble eye goldfish for my wife.

    the tank I bought was just the tank and I plan to build everything, so I do have questions about lighting. Which forum do I ask that question in?

    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

        I have Africans. Had a large mixture, but a sickness took most of them. Managed to save some, but the only ones I have left are hybrids that some of my fish made. Still don't know the true parents but they are all orange.

          So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...

              What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

                          I would like to do a step by step thread about my building of my new tank from start to finish. Should I use the DIY thread? Currently leak testing 110gal. Will include stand/ hood build, filter selection, background build, etc.

                            I would recommend putting in it a forum depending on what you intend to keep

                            Example

                            Freespool's 110g Mbuna journal (African Cichlid)

                            120g - Tropheus Moorii Kambwimba
                            180g - Petrochromis Macrognathus Dine/Tropheus Moorii Namansi I

                              Good point!

                              You could also start with the DIY section, just because you're building so much of this from scratch, and then if you want to start a journal-type thread, you can link the actual building of the tank in the first post.

                              Hmm, I hope that made sense...

                              Whatever you decide, don't worry about it too much. Just be sure to post pictures, or else you'll really cause an uproar!
