My Community Tank

[ntrueman]

Well, it all started off a few years ago with a small 45Ltr tank and one goldfish! It was a present from a friend to my little boy on his birthday, as he lost interest in the fish needless to say mine seemed to grow and now not weekend goes by that I don’t take a trip to the LFS to have a look around! I'm countless pennies out of pocket but very very happy!

This is still very much as work in progress, Enjoy! (I will get some better pictures when my new camera arrives)

Personally i would change the background the Yellow tang is really out of place

Thanks for the advice! I'm already on it, the backround came with the tank as part of the deal however they did not have any roll's in stock large enough with a more appropriate backround so I have one coming from eBay.

Looks good though I would keep an eye on those serpae tetras they can be nasty fin nippers. I have the hagen glo light(though its on my crested gecko tank now). Do you know you can remove the black clamps?

Oh and that plant you have beside your shipwreck is a non aquatic and should be removed before it rots and fouls your water. It can be planted and kept as a houseplant

Thanks for the compliment ~T~, I've been trying to remove the clamps for a few days now and just cant get my head around it! They really do look out of place! Any advice on that would be a great help! I will keep an eye on the serpae tetra's but everything seems peacefull for now at least! The plant on the right is acctually a fake it clips into the back of the ship (The clowns home!)

Tank is not big enough for clown loach,he should be kept in group of 3 or more and a 5feet tank really. Tank looks nice, fake plant is very really looking,nice. You need more plnats and it will look good.

Wow it looks like a real Drac plant too lol. Actually im not sure how you remove them I've not attempted it yet. But the guy in my lfs says you use a small allan key on the runners (at the bit where the little black bits stick out).
