In August 2011 my wife and I bought our first home. A 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath rancher in Oak Creek, Wi.

The basement was partially finished and had a long rec room that would work perfectly as a fish room once partitioned off.

Here's a picture of the area immediately after I tore down the wall between the utility room and the rec room.

And here's an image of the preliminary plans for the fish room
Click the image to open in full size.

Now that construction is further along I have found that I can fit more tanks in than before. Besides a 100 gallon RO water storage tank, the room will eventually have.
2x 120 gallons
10 x 15 gallons
1 x 30 gallon
5 x 10 gallons
all above on a central filtration system
1 x 40 breeder
3 x 20 gallon cubes
8 x 10 gallons
8 x Biocube 29 gallons (tanks only)
10 x Biocube 14's (tanks only)
and a handful of small 2.5-5 gallon tanks

More to come....

I am a new member and having a tough time getting started here.
I don't know how to put more info in my member profile or begin to make contact with other members near or far. I was hoping to get to know other members in my area of Rockland County New York or surrounding counties.
I have been in and out of the hobby for the past 25 years and mostly enjoy keeping African Cichlids of all 3 lakes. I currently have 3 tanks 20gallons, 55gallons and 75gallons. Over the years I have had as many as 15 tanks at a time and a 3500gallon backyard pond. I hope to hear from other members and looking forward to receiving my first bulletin and trading post in the mail.

Thanks

There is only a handful and there's not much info online. Are they a derivative of pindare?

I lucked out and scored 3 of his 4 inch nice quality Red Head Tapajos today too, which isn't something we see in an lfs out here. The parnaibae will go quickly if I don't grab them up. Anyone else have experience w/ this species on ACA?

I will be bringing some of my favorite Milwaukee beers (Schlitz) and an assortment of New Glarus brews. What's everyone else bringing?

I hear you can buy Yuengling Lager in Indiana so that alone has me pumped.
