Any aquarium owners?

Just curious. I have been into fish keeping for 15 years. I used to have 6 tanks running. Down to one now and it’s a very low maintenance community tank. 65g tall. All filtration piping and wires hidden in the 3D background. Live plants. And a hodgepodge of fish from over the years.

A 40 gallon but it dont hold fish. Littlefoot the spoiled bearded dragon resides in this one we need to move up to a 70 gallon but he spends most of his time hanging with us or the dogs.
I have had a few aquariums with fish but found it to much work. however I have one in the garage that holds crappie minnows for ice fishing. Nice looking tank you got there Joe.

Had fish for a number of years again when the kids were -- umm -- kids.
Haven't had one (or more) set up for many years, though. I don't think we even have any of the paraphernalia any more.
I’ve had Malawi’s, Tanganykans and South American cichlids. My fav was a Midas (red devil). He was a brute. Got to be 13” and almost destroyed a 75gal
As much as I loved it, it was an exceedingly large amount of work.

I’ll ask my dad if he has any pictures of them later, although I don’t think he does.

I have a filtration system that’s for triple the size tank. I have it stocked with less than half of what the tank will hold. And I have plants to help with the nitrogen cycle. I barely touch the tank.

Awesome pic Steve! We have a similar setup for my daughter's beardie. She's in a 50 gal aquarium now (the beardie... not my daughter). I'm actually working on building the aquarium into the steps for my daughter's loft bed. I'll post up pics when the 'construction' is complete.
@gudnoyez how do you like the sand for bedding? We've used terrarium liners and are now using a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet. I'd think the sand would be easier to clean, but worry about the beardie ingesting it?
Here's Winnie on a road trip...
Was never brave enough to tackle Discus, they are by far the hardest (meaning you have to be the most educated on fishkeeping) to keep
stunning fish though
We use outdoor carpet, have 8 pieces cut to size also use newspaper. Paper towels
The little guy has won are hearts the little dude is babied. He watches movies with us. When I'm sitting in front of the 2 channel he hangs out on my shoulder. He harass es the dogs and gets away with it he lies with them and sleeps. Winnie looks like he or she is enjoying the ride. True story littlefoot jumped on lightman once and ate popcorn out of his beard. Thought about taking him to the vet to get checked out after that incident

Here's a fairly recent pic with a couple of African dwarf cichlids called Shell Dwellers, or 'Shellies'.
Not a huge variety of plants in this incarnation. I use to maintain several different types of plants, but man, the constant pruning was a chore. Some plants grow really fast when you have the requisite extra bright lights, diffused CO2, and fertilizer.

2017 their north American discus association held their big dance in Chicago and i went there for 3 days great time. People came from all over the world met many many interesting people.
That tank was CO2’d and had a metal halide on it. Those plants had to be pruned almost daily!!
I do miss my Tang tanks. I had multi’s, Julie’s and Neos. Great little fish and spawn like crazy!
I’ll dig up some pics of other tanks I had...
