Hello, :)
Just wanted to share photos of my first ever aquarium being set up!

The tank is a 160 litre, aquatropic 100, from ebay :)

Another 3 tigers! (I disliked the large wood, friend said it looked like a dead horse?? :sad: )

Water sprite got a little out of control, water turned a little murky due to wood..

Large clean up! Removed the bad wood causing the staining. No more water sprite! Cleaned up the amazon swords and replaced the sprite with a type of grassy plant. Bought a 35 litre temporary tank to hold the tigers, (excuse for a second tank :shifty: )

Tank today! A while after last photo, have since got some young polka dot loaches and marble mollies. Also a nice piece of wood with anubias and java ferns pre-attached, (which the loaches can not eat, unlike with the swords...)
