day 41 i think and my tank is almost done Gravel is in, tank is in room and next to power socket, undergravel aerating stone - check, air pump in, check, timers, check

I will be taking the remaining 3 cories out from my downstairs tank to put in this one.

So all i have left to buy is...

Fluval U2
Elite 50W heater
Male betta
1 dwarf corydora
6 Neons
3 plants (only i know which ones (bwa ha ha ha ha!!!))

I have had a rethink about the filtration for this tank - if i buy the fluval u2, cycle it in this tank and then transferr it to the tank downstairs while at the same time moving my silent Interpet filter (already cycled) I will have a quiet filter for the tank in my room and a very good filter in the tank downstairs

Whad'aya think, i will upload a pic.

Oh, so far it has cost me... £14.48

thats less than i ern in a week so i should be fine

Forgot to put this in lol!

Let it be settled then that my tropical fish forum tank shall be of 50 litres and contain the following aquatic specimens...

1x Male Betta Splendens (blue/purple)
4x Dwarf Corydora
6x Neon Tetra

The other Equipment will be...

1x interpet AV1 air pump Check connected to a 4 inch airstone Check

1x fluval U2 rated for up to 110 litres at 400 litres an hour, i will turn the flow rate down however. It was a u1 originally but i read some bad reviews on it saying that it was the worst of the U line and i opted for the next model up.

1x Hagen Elite 50Watt Heater

Substrate Will Be...

A Fine Gravel Substrate and will Be Black Check

Plants...


1x amazon sword
1x grassy stuff
1x big broad leaf stalky thing
