Start Of My 5ft Tank

[yabbiebee]

Right i made a start on my 5ft tank today blocked up my 2x51mm holes. moved the stand indoors and placed the tank on it. i dont have a hose so i have to manual fill the tank will put the sand in tomorro and leave it to cycle. Also i will have to make some sort of a lid to hold my lighting too.
The bit of drift wood thats in my tank is from my old 3ft tank. Cant wait until its all ready .

WILL PUT SOME PICS UP LATER WHEN PHOTOBUCKET IS WORKING

you cant have both mixed together they require completely different requirements!
and it is extremely difficult to keep both together only very experienced people manage to do it successfully!

for starters you have too many types of fish i would say. and you cant have both types of cichlid, and you shouldnt have plecos in with malawis !
