Let me know your thoughts, good or bad.

A nice collection of photos I can see you're an Eastender's fan

I can't believe how clear your water is. It's practically perfect... do you use anything special?

Thanks SBS, means alot coming from you. Her Eastenders time is my photo time, lol.

That is the wonders of Seachem Purigen and new filter floss. The Purigen actually could do with recharging with bleach, so once that has been done the water will be even better. Thanks very much for the compliments too.

The Mopani tank is PERFECT!

 

[Curiosity101]

I've never had a problem with cloudy tanks (particularly when using floss). But that really is 'clear'. I might have to invest in some purigen as it really does seem to do the job it says it does.
I've seen a few tanks with it and they've all said the same.

It is the bees knees mate, you have my word. I bought the loose stuff and made my own bags from tights. The Mopani tank doesn't run it though as i want the tannins and there is also a peat ball in the filter, it's just on the Angel tank. Weirdly, the camera has not picked up how tannin stained the Mopani tank really is.

Thanks FF4. I may have a go at a different stack with it as i want to fetch a few fish out so the wood would never go back the same anyway.

Those angels really are stunning Dave I love how they're so very different. Are these your only two tanks now or are you still running others?

I have my 70 litre, 2ft shrimp tank that is also holding my 2 otocinclus until the angel tank has matured a little more. There is also a few guppy/endler fry from a friend.

The Angels are amazing and like you say different to the norm.

Thankyou Mrs Merrett

Beautiful fish! I love that substrate It is quite sad that I recognized Mandy from Eastenders in the first pic...

 

[BadBadger]

Beautiful tanks

What's the common name of them Kribs? Haven't seen them before. Really nice

 

[minnnt]

Thanks very much!

Lucy, the substrate is Unipac Limpopo.

BadBadger, unsure of any common name for them. I just refer to them as Matadi.

Beautiful Pictures mate, really would love some angels one day!

 

[minnnt]

Angels are great, just wondering what fun i am going to have with them in the future.

Now i have a few less tanks i find i actually have time to sit and watch the inhabitants!

May put a couple of the L182's in the Angel tank and attempt to hide a couple of caves behind the main scape. Was contemplating adding the pair of Apisto Cacatuoides to it aswell?

Also thinking what else to add to the tank? Maybe a shoal of something...
