How do you keep your water and glass so clean? WOW!

 

[stonedcamel]

the water started to get cloudy on the top at the start of the year so i added the air bubbles and since then ive had no problems and the pump is pretty quiet also. And i try to do water changes every week but at the mo its every other week. but last time i did a water change, it was left 4 weeks which i thought was a very long time but i checked the stats and they hadnt shifted, thankfully.

As for the glass, i have a magnetic scraper with a blade and thats just on the corner. To be fair i never do this because everyone else does when they come over lol, father in law just sits and watches the fish and cleans the glass lol same as a few friends.

Thanks

vision 260 with over head lighting unit right? i have the same tank with the real old cack t8 tube light bar... i'm thinking of converting to over head lighting, just out of curiousity which unit do you use, whats the wattage? do you use co2/ferts? ** how did you cover the open top of the tank? thanks! sorry about all the questions just desperate to get this tank looks fantastic!!

 

[stonedcamel]

the tank is the fluval vicenza 260 and came as package with lights and filter and havent had to change a bulb yet so have no idea lol

as for CO2 and ferts, nope, just plain old gravel, fish poo and rotten snails and fish

im happy to answer any questions and glad you like

Tank of the MOnth!!! Very nice. So much variety but it all fits so well as a single scape and fish habitat. Great tank.

Beautiful setup and everything looks healthy! Do you know how Stevie became disabled? If you're referring to the curve in his spine, I have two serpae tetras with exactly the same look. I've asked on this forum before, but no one has responded to that question. They seem healthy enough, but it's a bit shocking to look at them.
