[ajbettle]

cool! i love corner tanks! fiver for that marina thingy!!

 

[mark7616]

do you have the bn in cold water or the goldfish in warm water???

 

[debiasir]

well the water temp at the moment is 75f this is due to the climate and would be the same if there were in a pond outdoors.

so erally in the summer months this tank is on the border of tropical and coldwater.

The BN does fine in this tank and Have heard many many stories of Plecs being kept with goldfish

Looking good so far, i love that thermomiter alarm thing, very cool!

Great job, that is a lovely tank. Good choice with the Amazon swords - one of the few things our goldfish don't eat! Is it just one (very pretty) goldfish in there?
Am watching your diary with great interest as I have just had a new Vision 260 for my birthday and am upgrading my current 120 L. Am more daunted by this tank than setting up the first one because I have to move everything this time!!

Also am moving the goldies into the 120L.
Look forward to your next pictures.

just one goldy in there.

lost wcmm due to shock during the move
