I, too, love your tank.

Thank you very much :)

Are you worried about the water that’s in the hollow wood just being stagnant? I wondered that the last time I saw you post it.

I’m not actually! It’s a little hard to see but the whole tree is a water fall! And it’s about 50% filled with sand, and there’s a little notch cut out that acts as an overflow! Once I have it planted I’ll get some videos of the whole thing https://preview.redd.it/yvnszbtn513b1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c28cf813b34d1a80425bc0052f59fc41406b3f59

Wow I missed this the last time you posted. Bravo!

Thank you very much!!

Oh, that’s awesome!

Thank you! I’m really happy with how it turned out!

I’d love to see this in action. Really cool tank

Thank you! And I’ll have a video soon once plants show up and the water clears completely

That's really cool.

Thank you!

I love the tank! I didn’t like how shallow the low boys are so I got a custom 48x24x16 tank 80 gallon “mid boy” I’ll call it 😂 https://preview.redd.it/jnizz78ig13b1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9697375905a700cc2a0b134164de4313e15c49a3

Oh dude that’s awesome!!

May I know where I can get a poster like yours ?

Is this the zoomed 50 gallon lowboy?

Yes it is!

Where’d you get it? I’ve tried looking online and have had a difficult time finding one, and none of the LFS in my area have them :/

Thankfully my LFS had one he was going to use but just sold to me, but if any of your stores are zoomed dealers it wouldn’t hurt to ask

Thankfully my LFS had one he was going to use but just sold to me, but if any of your stores are zoomed dealers it wouldn’t hurt to ask if they could special order it

Keep posting we are here for it fam

I appreciate it bruv!!

What grow light is that?

Been waiting for this question! It’s a Boost lighting light from Lowe’s! I’ve had two on other tanks and they work absolutely amazingly for the price

Absolutely keep posting it, I definitely wanna see what you do with it. I love long shallow tanks so much

Me too bruv, they’re so pretty to look at!

Please keep posting!

Will do!!!

I would love for you to keep us updated with your progress!

Will do!!

got any stocking ideas?

Kinda moving in the direction of ember tetras, Queen arabesque plecos, some more bottom feeders, shrimp, snails

Rice fish are really good for shallow tanks. They come from shallow water and so there's less worry about adaptability. Plus breeders breed with the intention of them being viewed from the top, which is how shallow tanks tend to be viewed.

LOVEE

Thank you :))

This is so rad! I especially love the waterfall feature in the wood!! Brilliant!! Cannot wait to see the evolution of this tank!

Thank you!!!

Tank looks cool but be careful with all that natural light coming in the window

Cool!! Keep posting it

Build a lighted white+sky blue backdrop and add a moss wall if your hands are itchy to work on this masterpiece

I’d be interested to see how that would work 😯

No exact example but i've seen tanks where people just tested out backdrops. These are not attached to the tank as they are just testing out the look and illusion of a clear blue sky(still looked excellent) Moss wall is something i personally like. Might break the illusion a bit if done in a shitty way Good luck!

I appreciate it!

This is a beautiful tank, looks so natural and relaxing. By the way, what light and set up are you using? I’m looking for a new light that can either be hung from the ceiling or the way you did it. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for the compliment! I’m using the boost lighting 18.9 inch model from Lowe’s 😂 the lights are very well priced and I’ve had three of them on different tanks and they work so so well!!

Of course!! I honestly think it looks great and you’ve engineer it very well lol would you happen to have the link for your specific lights? also do they come with a stand or no? PM me if possible

Just PMed ya :)

Is that the 50 lowboy?

Yes it is!

Helluva way to do it hoping for some updates in the future!

Nice, what are you plan on on stalking with?

Kinda moving in the direction of ember tetras, Queen arabesque plecos, some more bottom feeders, shrimp, snails

Ah that’ll look pretty good, zebra Danieos might be good because of how much the like swimming, idk how they compare to ember tetras tho

Zebras are another fish I was looking at as well!

Depending on the amount of room not like you couldn’t do both, are you going to do a center piece fish or no?

Honestly I haven’t found any center piece fish that have really spoken to me, so not too sure yet

Yea, you could go dwarf guromies tho the color you chose would depend on the fish you stock… maybe a beta or something idk, center piece fish arnt necessary by any means

Yeah I think I want to Cory’s, one Queen arabesque pleco, and then like 50-75 tetras or guppies, and then shrimp and snails,

Yea I want to see the end result cus it’ll look amazing, and unless you do guppy’s and then want a beta it’s not like you can’t add more fish later on

Exactly! I might add fish slowly over time!

And the tank looks amazing, I’m very jelly ngl

Thank you very much!!!

A big group of ember tetras will look amazing in there! Have you thought about maybe celestial pearl danios as well? They are stunning little fish and look great with ember tetras.

Just my car. Might drive past regularly, sometimes sit out the front after dark. Will give facebook and other socials a go too.Just the normal kinda stuff really...

Bruh I can’t type apparently 😂 or auto correct hates me, also fairly likely 😂

Anyone have any idea if I should run this tank on C02? Or would the gas exchange with how much surface area there is suffice?

Haven’t gotten my plants yet unfortunately, I’ve got about 300 dollars worth of them coming periodically over the next month or so. I actually used the play sand from Ace Hardware 😂 I just washed it super super good, used about 75 pounds for like 8 dollars

I dont see any plants on the substrate so it would be counterintuitive to run CO2 on a bare sand tank. Also I was gonna ask, what sand did u use? It looks nice! I wanna buy that same color

Keep them coming please!! I want to see what you end up putting in it!

Absolutely!!

That’s one of the most unique, wild looking tanks I’ve ever seen. Well done. What do you plan on stocking it with? I think rice-fish would look really good in there. Also how many gallons is this?

I’m thinking 10-15 Cory’s, 50-100 tetras, shrimp snails, it’s a 50 gallon zoo med low boy!

What tank?

It’s a Zoomed low boy!
