PGH Jeremy Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 (edited) Hi everyone. I am getting back into the hobby after a ~30 year break. That’s right, 30. I had aquariums galore as a kid and teenager, last one was in my college dorm room… until I bought a used 30 gallon recently for placement in my home office. After deciding I should build my own stand (I’m prone to time consuming DIY projects - see the photo), resealing the aquarium, trying to get driftwood waterlogged for a couple months then deciding to cut it in two and mount it to siltstone mini-slabs from my local creek, and doing tons of research, my aquarium has been up and running for a couple of weeks. My local store steered me to a half dozen harlequin rasboras as starters when I also bought some plants. Today I’m off to get my true targets - about 10 cardinal tetras and a couple/few juvenile blue rams. Edited June 1 by PGH Jeremy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the design of the drawer’s!!!( Is that how you spell it? 😂) Those are actually baskets sitting on shelves. On the left side, behind the door, is my canister filter and I added an air pump. I mounted a 6 outlet power strip to the inside here so all the power cords for everything run behind the aquarium and into the stand (staying out of sight). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
