Thanks, fishyfeet. That explains a lot of things. I have about 40 kilos of ocean rock in the tank. On Saturday i sold about a dozen Labidochromis Caeruleus to lfs. In order to catch them i had to remove the rock, except a few larger pieces, 1 of which had the male Bristlenose in. He has been...

Thanks for all the advice. I have had dozens of cichlid fry in the past 2 years. I usually let nature take its course :unsure: My theory being that the one that hides best survives the longest. Most of these are now about an inch long. Not sure what to do with the 1 bristlenose though, dont...

Just had to share my good news. I have a cichlid tank, Labidochromis Caeruleus, 1 male and 3 females, plus about a dozen good sized babies. Born at different times in the last year. 1 Synodontis 2 Bristlenose, bought as juvies about 18 months ago. Turned out to be 1 male and 1 female. Just...

Just had a quick look on the net and spotted 'melanochromis johanii'. Lovely looking blue colour!! Would this be ok with the yellow labs? 1 male, 3 female?? Looking on the net is ok but, some sites say that certain fish are less aggresive than others then, another site says totally the...

Any one else got any ideas on what fish to put with my yellow labs???

Tank is 98 X 60 X47cm and 215litres.

Evening all,i'm after a little advice. My tank has been up and running for nearly 2 years now. Started off with 4 yellow labs,3f and 1m. 4 cyno afra white tops, should have been 1m and 3f but, ended up with 3 males.All was fine for about 12months then all hell broke loose, between the afra's...

I enjoy my photography and your pictures are absolutely stunning!! 1st class, love them :good:

As always, Cheers everyone :good:

Thanks for that, just getting a rough understanding of cost. What about electricity? Has anyone noticed a large increase in there bills since having a tank? Looks like i will be buying a nano tank, long story, it is in my other threads. Was wandering with the lights been on for 10 hours a...

Afternoon all, Just out of interest what make of salt do people use? What size tub do you buy? With weekly water changes, how much does it cost, per month for salt? Still reading up on marines,tanks etc etc. Never done so much reading :shout:

Just a quick update. Have been in touch with a company that deal with AquaOne tanks including the lights etc. They have said that AquaOne do make T5 lights, but not for the 980. If i managed to upgrade them myself they would probably run to hot for the canopy and 'cause a complete melt down'...

Had a look in the lfs and they have some nice Green Xenia, Button polyps, Mushrooms and Feather dusters. Still trying to decide what to do, think the easiest option is to go with a new tank. I do like a challenge but it was an expensive tank 18months ago and dont want to ruin it completely...

Yes, it is a lovely tank especialy with the matching stand, very solid and best looking one that i have seen. This is why i am unsure about converting it and messing everything up :crazy: Dont want a skimmer that goes inside the tank and have no idea how to fit one outside with the trickle...

OK, so i have spent the past few days searching the internet for advice etc, need you people to help with my decision!!!!! 1, Keep the AquaOne-180litres Change the lights to t5's. Have found on web that someone has managed this at a cost of £98, not sure if that included actual lights or just...
