7 year update time! Hahaha, so I've completely dissassembled the tank and sold everything off as it was too big for our new place unfortunately. But we have started up a new 100L octagonal tank, so stay tuned for that in another post ;)

Haha thanks! Yeah I definately will start a journal for the Bettas :) just waiting to get some more progress before I start it so there is actually something to post haha. Amazon frogbit looks awesome! So far in my tank it seems to be doing well. My metal halide light was burning the leaves so I...

Hey hey! sorry I haven't updated in so long! I got a new job, broke up with the gf, moved back home, got a new gf, started my Betta breeding project and various other things haha. I have let the tank get a bit over grown with all the busyness I've been having. Should have an update for you guys...

I would scratch the neons and go flame tetras.

  Yeah, this is the guy thats got me into 'DIY'ing a lot of my stuff with fishtanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVWqq73mW_4 Essentially all a canister filter is, is a a sealed cylinder plumbed to the tank with a pump plumbed inline. Best thing, you decide your filter flow rate and capacity. :)

Heh, I personally think for versatility, you cant beat a DIY canister filter ;) I built my own out of PVC DWV piping, a threaded coupling, threaded end cap and a socket end cap. and just plumbed an inline pump straight into the side of it. You can build your own with higher capacity and...

Haha thanks guys :)

Hey guys, thanks again for the nice words really appreciate it! I just got another pic update showing the growth and the carpet   I got rid of the Mayaca Fluv because it got too thick and the bottom leaves weren't getting enough light and so they were dying off. I replaced it with Echinodorus...

G'day from another side of Australia as well ;) Cannot wait to see some pics of your tank!

Ahh ok cool, Thanks again for your help tcamos :) appreciate it.

Oh wow, glad I got it out then. No idea how it got in my tank though. Thanks heaps for your response! is there anyway I can stop them from occurring again? as far as I know this is the only one that was in my tank. Also that page says that its a moderate pollution indicator species, does that...

hey guys, so as usual I spent my 30 minutes looking at my tank today, watching my fish and checking the growth of my plants and I saw something rummage around in my substrate and thought it was a bit odd. So i got my planting tweezers and pull this thing out of the substrate and to my surprise...

  Thats a good idea :) I second this.   With that ammonia from eBay, Australian customs really would not like it haha, they would confiscate it and come knocking on your door. Also Assassin snails are illegal to import into Australia as well so you won't find any here.   The plant layout sounds...

Sounds like a promising start! I know I'm keen to watch the progress :)   Hope your Birthday was awesome 

Sorry I didnt see your questions before, but it looks good so far   *those hitch hiking snails are most likely either small ramshorn or pond/bladder snails. Note that they will quickly reproduce and can VERY quickly become a pest in your tank. And if you want to ever get rid of them its nearly...
