Iowa Pet Foods & Seascapes

For anyone who hasn't had a chance to visit here lately...




























Pics of the small tank and pond (didn't turn out as good)

 

The dimensions are huge long by big wide by taller than me tall.

But seriously I think it's 8' x 4' x 6' on outer dims. That's around 1200g by the time you subtract the material.

Sump is about 300g but it's only got about 6" of water in it, the rest of the space if for draw-down I think. Sump has filter socks and a skimmer. That's it. They dose Kalk +2 (brightwell) and a few other brightwell products, that's about it I think.

There are a few Tunze wavemakers in it, MH lighting, and a 10,000 GPH pump but they had to dial that way back because the manufacturer hosed up and didn't cut the teeth deep enough so it was enough to overflow the tank.

After the first one broke (while full) I think it took them several months to get this one, then it had to get shipped back because the shipping company chipped a corner, it was repairable (rounded it off and polished).

 

Hey maybe I missed this but I was there today and noticed that their sign has changed to read "Iowa Pet Foods & Aquatics". When did they drop "Seascapes"?

 

Well I think it was TV13 that broadcast the story and played the video. The link is dead now though, they must have taken the video down.
Oh yeah and it was me that called the TV station and told them they should go cover the story
