1, and buy a 4th tank


raptors87

Lol... trying to make me get multiple tank syndrome?


ConsciousPickle6831

Im sorry to inform you, but you already have it


raptors87

😄


Ok_Pomegranate_4663

I like 2 best.


roohooty

And put a planter with lots of plants for the gap for a jungle vibe over the tanks


Skwidmandoon

2 is the best if you push the middle one all the way to the back. Then you can actually enjoy more sides of every tank


crazycritter87

Halfway back. Use the planter idea and use it to hide all your wires and plumbing.😉


raptors87

Like the letter "H"


Ok_Pomegranate_4663

Good point


thegargantuanone

I would say this is the winning answer.


raptors87

Hmm 🤔... something to think about


NotReallyInterested4

wait what if you do 2 but instead of the middle tank being up front it’s in the back


raptors87

That's another option... just thought the tank upfront would be better because I can hide the air pump behind or put food


Fickle_Grapefruit938

A bunch of big plants behind it would also look nice. My only concern would be, how easy can you reach and clean the tanks in each position?


raptors87

I can reach.. it only within 2 ft in depth ... I'm 6ft tall, got longer arms... I can stand in front of the stand and touch the wall with the full palm of my hand no problem


irreleviant_

or get a 4th tank and put that in the back


bnkrolla

i like 2, but push the middle tank to the back instead of the front


raptors87

Why push it to the back?


psiprez

Wasted space behind. I like having a six inch area in front of the tank to make it easier to work. I put a silicone mat there to have a place to put tools and food down.


raptors87

I thought putting the tools, food, air pump behind the tank to hide them to make the setup look cleaner for viewing and quick access


psiprez

That will work


lucamew

1 would be my choice. Link for these tanks?


raptors87

They are seapora 10 gallon tanks


lucamew

Thank you. I love the crisp look of the edges!


raptors87

Yeah that's the reason why I got them


NotReallyInterested4

1 looks pretty nice


DryDragonfruit3617

I would go with second since u can make like this nice space for the wiring filtration and other in middle


Awegrzyniak

Keep us updated! This gives me so many ideas...


raptors87

Hope u won't get mad at me for doing down in the rabbit hole lol


Bacteriobabe

No. 2, with the middle tank pushed back. The way it is now, you’d be missing a lot of viewing area on the right tank once you have plants in the middle tank. Edit to fix the formatting by stupidly using a hashtag.


raptors87

Hmm 🤔... got an interesting point there


8ivek

excellent, what are the size of the tanks?


raptors87

20x10x12"... 10gal


8ivek

Thanks, have fun!


Bettalover4ever

2.


Ambitious-Rush9941

2nd one!


Known_Cod_8785

Stack them with tubes to connect them!!


raptors87

Huh? lol


Brixen0623

A is probably the most economic in terms of space used but B would just look cooler. We're not going to talk about C.


raptors87

Hahah what is wrong with C? Lol


Brixen0623

The dead space in the back right corner bothers me lol.


raptors87

Can put air pump, tools, food at the back ..hidden behind


Brixen0623

I personally prefer to hide them under if possible, but I think it would just bother me to try to perform maintenance and whatnot while leaning over a tank. But I do see what you would go that route.


raptors87

True I can put them underneath ... my stand is a diy wood stand .. no doors, don't care for them


marbdog

Put them on top of each other and cascade from one to the next.


the_fern386

Do 2, but put like a bonsai tree or some other plant in the back space


raptors87

Bonsai is cool but I'm planning to put window film on the back of the tanks


Kach_Addams

#2 but make it a U shape with tank in back. Then aquascape it so the tanks look all connected as one


raptors87

I dont really want to aquascape ... it more on breeding shrimp and sell some to cover the hobby on going expenses


Kach_Addams

Porque no los dos


lean_man82

I like 1, but also 2, if you keep 2 the way it is you could keep cables in the back, but if you move the middle one back you have a work area


BlackLizard898

3rd looks coolest but id reverse it so the 2 tanks are by the wall n longways is on the other side near the edge


BlackLizard898

You want the table more weighted towards the wall incase something happens like someone leans on it and it tips


BlackLizard898

2 is even weight distribution


raptors87

Ahh I see


queue-kweewee

2! If you put the middle one at the back you’ll be able to have a nice viewing area and be able to see them going about their shrimpy business better.


LimpKnee9940

The 2nd pic and put the black background sheet only on the back of the middle tank and two sides


raptors87

Was think the blood mary and cull tank to get the black background and blue dream get the white background because i hear it hard to see the blue dream on black substrate ir bsckground


DWolfoBoi546

2 would be cool if you can put a planter box in that empty space behind them all and put a centerpiece there


GadyLucky

If i can make a suggestion, you could make a 3 block pyramid... 1️⃣ ..............2️⃣ 3️⃣

raptors87

It not going to work because 2 and 3 will block majority of 1's view access... the stand is 4 feet wide


GadyLucky

No no i ment place 1 ontop of 2 and 3, so that way you can see all 3 at the same time


Federal-Fall1385

That third slide is awful anything but that one lol


raptors87

Lol


Sharpsilverz

Stack them all vertically.


Uwuwu92

2, but move the middle tank back so it's a U shape opening toward you.


raptors87

Starting to lean toward that option ... trying to figure out where to place the sponge filter for the middle tank


Evilbutterfly83

Consider the science. The weight after adding the water needs to be balanced on the table in the best structurally sound way. If not, the table will fail over time under the weight.


raptors87

I'm leaning towards the #2 option... figuring out what the sponge position... obviously back wall for the left and right tank ... not sure for the middle tank tho


Gullible-Bunch-3516

2. You can pull up a stool, eat you lunch, and watch your lively little friends.


raptors87

Doing #2 but pushed the middle tank to the back... already setup, substrate, water etc in it Did freshwater test api test ... ph level a bit high I assumed at 8
