The story of 1 rainbow shark and a tank

[Cossack1977]

Just finished posting new tanks pics the other day and bam a problem.
One of my rainbow sharks wasnt looking to good so i decided to pull him out and put him in the hospital tank.

3Hrs later and removal of 60% of the plants and 80% of the driftwood i had him. Put him in the hospital tank in the garage medicated him and walked back inside.

Wow what a mess . My tank . Oh well time to start again.

The Story Begins:

How 1 of these

+ 7 new ones of these

+40 new ones of these

+ 14hrs work

turned this

into this

I think this is by best tank rebuild effort yet.
I hope you all enjoy it.
The look on the guys face when i walked into the LFS and told him what i wanted.
He already new what my tank looked like and now he's coming over for a beer to see it now.

Now let me try and count the fish

In total now i have over 2 dozen pieces of driftwood and over 80 plants in my tank

THE END

Nice tank, no offence but i like the old one better, that round log to the left rocks, thats my opinion, good work it seems as though you really put your back into it.

 

[Whiskerz]

I liked it before and I also like it now, it looks incredible

what size of a tank is that?

 

[Cossack1977]

tank is a 6x2x2

the log on the left is still there

not sure how much of a difference the co2 is making. Plants are very good not great so not to sure.

 

[Silly me]

I loved the java moss in the old tank on the diftwood..
