btw- I HATE the oak on this tank... I would love to paint the stand, but not sure how to get the fake oak trim off the tank!!

comes right off with tape or certain nail polish removerers.

but what is underneath that?? looks like it would be a solid brown trim... what if I wanted it black or something? or maybe another color? Got any ideas???

[fat walrus]

the trim is just a laminate, underneath is just brown trim. you can even scrape it off, but it tends to scar the plastic to much. paint it like anything else, i use plastic model paint. the stand you have to sand first, the top layer is a polymer glosscoat.

Thanks Bush!

Since I have a decent pic, here's the magic question- is that a perc or an ocellaris?

[fat walrus]

if it is wild, yes. captive bred...no.

[gwen_o_lyn]

I'm about 99% sure it was captive bred...

[fat walrus]

the value is in our heart. rare or not rare is not our concern. your fish is beautiful, healthy, and yours. who can ask for more?

[Bernie]

no fair gwenie... we know there is stuff in that thing, don't go pulling shenanigans on us

We all know air exchange is good....but there you go taking it to the extreme...you added too much air to the tank.

[fat walrus]

[gwen_o_lyn]
