Finally..some pictures of my tanks

[keane]

These first six are of my very first tank, a 30 gallon tropical community, acquired back in January. The pics are quite old (taken a week after my cycle had finished) so there are a few more occupants in there now than you can actually see.

I am quite proud of it to be honest.....

The next lot are a quick "step by step" of how I set up my 55 gallon Mbuna tank, with some extras at the end with my fish, just because!!

I have now re-jigged the Mbuna tank a little and the water is also crystal clear.

Will post some more pics when I get a chance (Hopefully more of my fish too! Am struggling to get to grips with snapping moving objects!! )

Hope you like! Any comments (good or bad) are appreciated

Finally! I've been wondering what your tanks looked like..
They're gorgeous! I love that gigantic rock in the Mbuna tank, that's gotta be really heavy..

Thanks guys !

Got the rocks from B & Q (the UK's largest DIY store).......

Large rainbow rock.....Weight = 15kg. Cost = £9.00 (about $15..?)
All other rocks.....Overall weight = 25kg (ish). Cost = £8.00 (about $12..?)

Saw a piece of rainbow rock in one of my LFS's, about 3 kg in weight. Cost = £6.00.

3kg x 13 = 39kg (i have 40kg)
£6.00 x 13 = £78.00!!!!

Saved a couple of quid me thinks !!

Thanks again everyone .

Yep..as mentioned in a post above, the rocks are all rainbow rocks and the whole lot (about 40kg) only cost me £17.00 with the sand from Argos totalling £3.00 the whole 'scape only cost me £20.00!

The first tank and stand (community tank) I won on ebay for £170.00. A little pricey maybe but I think it's lovely .

Only the best for our fishies eh?

Nice tank! I especially love that gorgeous stand! It's beautiful! And those rocks, can't believe it only costs that little (Well, converted to my local currency it's about $60, but still!)
