Hello stranger! Good holiday?

Great thanks mate! Came back to a tank of 'life-less-ness' lol. All seem fine now though. Angel had some pink growth on his nose, but after a few water changes and some food hes good! Need to get some new fish in there lol.

After Christmas I plan to get a few new fish and a lot more plants . Hows your stack of tanks doing

Lovely looking setup ya got there

Thankyou so much! The gravel is Unipac 2-3mm black gravel... Just got it from my LFS.

Scott, glad you had a great time pal, wish you were on here more! My tanks are doing well. My little Oscar isn't so little any more and i have redone my 180. You will have to check it out in the planted journal section. Just added some Glowlights, very nice addition!

Shrimps are multiplying nicely now, a few berried females atm.

Now thats one fine looking tank, I love these kind of threads. What gravel is that as all my tanks have tesco play sand in but it washes the colours of the fish out

I have two tanks with tubes resting ontop of the condensation tray and its like living in a sunbed shop so I will certainly be stealing your fantastic idea

White guttering acts as a reflector if you need to up the WPG. Tin foil not really needed then.

But it's white and stands out like a sore thumb!

The gravel is just Unipac 2-3mm gravel? Unsure of a specific name or anything though. Just from the LFS.

Glad all tanks are well mate! Might strip the Trigon down after xmas and get a Trigon 350 if all goes well .

Have to swap my Angel for some shrimp and plants ?? Needs re-homing hes abusing my Keyholes every now and then now that the other Angel died!

 

[minnnt]

Lol Tizer... What a C.A.!!!

Scott... the swap sounds good... but you would have to meet me half way The 350 sounds nice!

Very enjoyable thread! I love what you've done with the puffer tank Minnnt - and there's some ingenious DIY going on there; the gutter light is spot on, as is the background. The puffers are very distinctive fish
