So i had been after a Tank for agesss!
I decided i quite liked the look of the Fluval Roma 125, id herd nothing bad on them so one tuesday night i popped down to my local 'Pets At Home' store and went for it!
I bought
1x Fluval Roma 125 Tank which came complete with:
Fluval 3 PLUS filter
2 x 24" 20 watt GLO fluorescent lighting
150 watt Fluval Tronic heater
Nutrafin Care Pack (LCD thermometer,100ml Nutrafin Aqua Plus & Cycle. 26g Nutrafin Tropical Flake food).
Fluval Step-by-Step guide
My extras include; 1x large back of clear gravel, 1x large bag of clear sand & a funky Arch rock.
So i started off abit hmmm wrong? Basically although i spent 3 hours sifting through the sand it still managed to go cloudy the water ran clear before but anyway heres the picy;
As you can see something wasnt right..
So i thought bugger this for a game of soldiers.. i started from scratch.
Now that was much better then before but still cack imo so, i decided it was time to spend a little more on something which would imo look the part so off i went to Lakeside shopping centre thurok and bought a £60 Shipwreck & a Airstone kit which is cool
Now then still this wasnt what i was looking to end it with, it just looked to plain. Ahh i know what was missing! Plants Doh!
So on my quest to find plantation.. it lead me to Ebay.. 50 plants for £10 BARGAIN.
And tbh until they got here i was thinking jesus why didnt i just pay the price. Well Im glad i didnt as they are fantastic.
So the tank was setup after almost 2 weeks and in the picture above you get a quick sneek peek at my Rather large Angel fish,
So as the tank stands (pretend its waiting for fish)
What to add what to add..
Ive always had a thing for Crown Tail Siamese Fighters but not many fish are really compatable with them (most fish seem to be fin nippers ) after narrowing my choices down i found a Gourami fish in a really bright, vibrant orange! and a funky Black yellow & gold angel fish although they are meant to be fin nippers they dont seem to be bothered by the other in their tank at pets at home.. I paid £10 for the both of them due to a screw up behind the till! Bargain,.
I had already ordered and named my CT off ebay. Hes called Deadly Nightshade and can be seen below.
Gourami fish aka Claud
Angel aka Butch
I also have a pleco to do some cleaning works lol
Hope you enjoyed my thread (probably not)
More fish to come when im not skint lol
Comments welcome as always,
