Consider the gauntlet thrown
We had a 10g tank sitting around and since it once had copper in it had to figure out what to do with it.
Mrs. Phish and I decided to make a tacky tank. We got a goofy looking undersea city thing and are going FW. We will post pics and put this in our computer room.
I defy any of you to have a tank that will be more trailer park.
Does anyone know where to get little tiny pink flamingos to stick in the gravel?

Wow Alice,
Woohoo. I am only going to have room for a couple of these so I guess I will have to make some sort of tropical drinks with the others.

I'd say that's a win-win situation then!

I dunno, that blue gravel had SOME aesthetic appeal...
...right along with the comment overheard at a local truck stop:

Okies prepare to gasp in awe at these specs. We don't hold back in the Phish family.
10g Walmart tank
HoB filter with carbon backed pad
Epoxy coated gravel bed
10W or something (guessing here) flourescent lighting
Authentic ruin of the Colossus
Air operated cannon attacking beforementioned ruin
One of those pirate chest thingies
3 of the little gouramis
2 dragon eel looking things
Fancy two dollar four way gang valve with adjustable air flow
Walmart stand (this was 20 bucks so it better be a good one)
Fresh water is pretty goofy...we just decided to do it up right

Yes and I can take ALL the credit for it coming out beautiful despite Mr Phish trying to sabotage it with giant pink things :P I will post a pic soon as we get some taken of it.
