Well yesterday I picked up my juwel rio 400 for £150 it come with a stand lights and a background picture How I picked it up yesterday morning

And how it stands at 00:50 am

I took the background picture off to clean the back and typically it wouldn't go back on grrrr so I'm looking for stronger tape to hold it on

I have no clue on what the lighting system is but one bulb is a red/pink colour and a bright white light

So that's it for now I've got some ideas on more stock

I'll defo have more Molly's as Ive got a thing for Molly's lol

I want some more guppys I've been seeing fancy guppies and they are starting to catch my eye

And one of my mates has just had 35 platy fry so I'm picking up a few off her to help her out as she's only got a 64L tank

And I'm picking them up soon as they are only 3 weeks old and the size of some of my Molly's they wouldn't last 5 mins lol

Looking good mate. If I were you I would up the number of penguin tetras. They're lovely fish and look great in groups of 15+.

Cool thanks for the positive reply

I got the tetras with my old tank that I got off a friend a few years back and I'm not really Into tetras so in a cruel to te kind way I'm waiting for them to die of old age as i dont want to add any more as im not into them and as far as I know they are at least 3.5 - 4 years old so

Yea all filters cycled bar the 2217 ( I won't class it as cycled untill weekend coming) I've had the 2213 since I've owned my original 2.5ft tank (3-4 years ) the u1 at least 2 months and the 2217 has had donated media from the 2213 and has been running for a week
