Looking good james. You're recovering well from the hair algae, although I can see some in the 5th picture down. Incidentally that 5th picture is my favourite. Its very clear.

I keep forgetting about your cube. What fish do you have in there now?

yeah thats my favourite as well. i did my best to get all the algae but got fed up after a while and am leaving the rest to EI. (let's see if it's all it's cracked up to be - 5 days in so far)

cube has 1 adult male common BN, 2 juv albino BN, 2 male guppies, 3 female (and VERY fat!!) guppies

i'm not going to add any more mid water fish, just a few more BN's.

it should be guppy overload in a few months if all goes to plan. i cant get any good pics of them as the light is too low for good pics and the buggers wont stop swimming like madmen. all that space with 5 fish - it's quite funny to watch them.

Lovely pictures, very detailed. if you dont mind me asking, what camera do you use? im looking for a new one. mines a little dated.

 

[Bloo]

Jimboo, I think you should add the make and model to your sig people (including me!) ask all the time

Very nice fishies jimbooo, the 50g cube has really taken off its looking very good.

I wouldnt worry about Ei being all its cracked up to be because i think it is, but the co2 levels have to be spot on and this is where im having the problems.

But great job your tanks are looking very well.

Your tanks are looking spectacular as always mate. Nice work!

Those pictures are amazing. I love the glowlights, they look absolutely beautiful. It's amazing how much a fish's color can improve when they are kept in ideal settings. In some petstores, the glowlights are so dull, but in your tank, their colors really shine. What's your stocking level in the 40g and 12g?

Stuning pics m8, tank looks better than ever. Love the glowlights too.
