For any of the old timers still remaining, I am saddened to report that Cal was found this morning, having passed in his sleep. He was 8 years old, and a terrible destroyer of plants. He was my last remaining goldfish, and I'm uncertain whether I will take it down, or put something else inside. He was a good boy, and I'll miss him.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Andrew. You had such a beautiful setup, and such healthy fish. Please don't think that it's anything you did or didn't do. Sometimes these things just happen.

I thought that was a gorgeous fish, Aubrey! :D I hope you have a supremely boring qt.

Beautiful tank!

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm always sooo jealous of the rocks you are able to find. Seems any time you post a tank that has rocks, I have the same reaction! I can find smallish rocks and huge ones, but never anything I really like in the mid range. Tiki, you can head to any landscaping place that sells mud, limestone, rocks or gravel. They'll have rocks of all different shapes or sizes, and they'll charge you by the pound. I'm happy to share my favorite rock buying places with you. Yes Please! See what I did there? Lol! PM me and we'll get rockin' and rollin'. Pun definitely intended.

Look at all these beautiful tanks!!!!! I'm always sooo jealous of the rocks you are able to find. Seems any time you post a tank that has rocks, I have the same reaction!

Charlie and Googles (and buns)! Can you take the broken tube around to hardware stores and find something else that will fit onto your nitrate filter properly? There are no parts circulating around on ebay?

As ever, your pond is looking lovely.

Very nice!!

Beautiful!

I have bags full. Come get. If you look in Walmart, they have there.

Call around and see if someone has it. If someone down by us does, we'll drive to get it for you.

My tank did not have the brace, Lisa. There are those with the brace that have successfully removed and replaced it, but I would not be brave enough to do it. That's a lot of water on the floor, if something isn't quite right. All that being said, I was very happy with the results from my faux sand painted tank. There's a very in-depth post on here somewhere, if you would like to check it out.

Congratulations! It's so nice to see it all set up!
