Really nice planted tank wonderful. What are u going to stock it with?

Thanks, not settled on fish yet, still deciding hehe. Just wish the missus would let me get sand instead of multicoloured gravel oh well as it happens i dont mind the gravel anyway (providing i can plant it nicely, might have a mess about with it later) I definately want some ADFs, and i wouldnt mind some cute lil cherry and/or amano shrimps

Looking good mate. But angle the outlet for the filter up mate to aggitate the surface of the water rather than having it faced down this will help to oxygenate the water.

I love it! That's the tank I'd like in an ideal world.

Very nice. As Mark says, angle the filter outlet towards the surface. What kind of rock do you have?

 

[ashleybrown2]

Thanks guys. I was considering getting an air pump, but thats actually a pretty good idea, thanks! (Although i might still get an air pump ) That rock is just a resin ornament, but i loved the look of it

Thanks for the comments, i have turned the filter outlet up too.

Well maybe i lied a teeny bit about the remote control lights, its the socket thats remote control see that thing on top of the tank on the left? thats like a plug in plug in thing. I plug that into the wall, then the lights into that, and it has a remote control, but it works for me! theyre a bit like this

but theyre water resistant too (i actually bought them because they were outside plug sockets for the garden, but they turned out to be just outdoor remote control adapters ) so it worked out quite well Although i am thinking about going out at the weekend and seeing if i can get an actual wall socket remote controlled cos im just a gadget freak
