 |
|
This is my new 120gal tank. Still waiting to get some nice fancy Goldfish to arrive. I'll add some pictures when they are arrived.
This is the tank after adding gravel, just finished setting it up. It had 2 Fluval 304, Marineland Penguin 350B Power Filter, and large Whisper filter attached to UGF.
Added some ornamental and new 48" 220 watt (4x55w) PC light
Got ride of both Fluval 304 and got FX5 from Jim, had to cut the board at the bottom to make it fit under the stand
Everything almost ready for fish.
I have finally added my Coralife Turbo Twist 12x 36W UVS, it was Jim's idea to attach it to my FX5.
Here is the custom made power head
Here is some pictures form my 100gal indoor pond and some of my award winning Goldfish.
Two very nice extra large (5-6 inch only body), Red Cap Oranda and Orange and white Oranda.
This is my Smocky, winner of Goldfish of the month from Goldfish Paradise, USA.
This one got huge telescopic eyes.
Finally I have got two very nice Lion head from Toronto. They have arrived in very bad weather tonight on Jan 18, 2009, took 3.5 hours to get them to my tank. I have carried them in two large bags in separate pails to make it home. Very nice color and unique shape, they are imported from States around xmas but since they were expensive and big stayed in store and waited for me to pick them up.
And here is Topol and Copol looking around my tank. They are 6 inches long.

It is the container that people use in farms to water horses. I have got it from friend in Toronto for $100, he used to have some for sales.
He also got 300gal ones that was not for sale. My guess is, it should be available in any farm equipment dealer around. It is perfect to keep Koi and Goldfish in winter, and take them back to pond in summer. |

| Gorgeous setup and fish! I have a weakness for goldfish. The Orandas remind me of chubby puppies. |
