New 30g tank

[glolite]

This one's an upgrade for my guppies and platys and mollies.
Whole tank shot first

I used gravel from an existing tank

Will post some more pics of the tank as it cycles. First ammonia went in yesterday to bring the water up to 5.0 and another 15 drops this morning to bring it back up to 5.0. No nitrites as yet. I also added some filter medium from an established tank to feed my new filter. Here's a pic of that tank with a male bristlenose who wanted his picture taken.

nice

that BN will benifit from a piece of bogwood in there

is your background 3d or a stick on, either way i love it

 

[glolite]

Thanks, yes the background is 3D I've got it on another tank. The BN isn't going in the new tank but I've got some bogwood soaking as we speak and some other bits and bobs to go in. Still playing at the mo'

Day four of adding 15 drops of ammonia daily and I have a nitrite spike already! The 'seeded' gravel and filter must have worked.

Great to see it comming along

But do you have that bristlenose in the tank that's currently cycling and having neat ammonia added ? That's not recommended at all I'm afraid and he will go through immense stress (if he makes it).

Ahh on second thought - that bn pic was probably from your established tank - right ?

Reasonable price same as most other backgrounds, can't remember precicely but about £1.50 per foot. It's 18 inches deep so I had to cut it down a bit as the tank is only 15

The first picture is great. You must have a very good camera I wish mine took pictures half that good.
