I think that is everyone aquariumists' (???) worst nightmare.... a leak.

Oh, gosh. Sorry to hear it. I am dreading something like that. I turned around by accident the pipe in my hood/trickle filter a couple of times and it was making a waterfal at the back of the tank, to the point the carpet at the front was wet. I thought the tank was leaking and I got a right scare.

Right guys and gals, new tank has been set up for a week, just done water change so thought I'd chuck up a pic, needs more substrate round the wood and that plants are really tiny at the moment. There is Hygro Pinnatifida, Blyxa, Hydro Tripartita and Aponogetons at the back to fill in and the HC and Staurogyne foreground to fill in too, once its all grown in I'm hoping it will be quite nice. The lighting is being rebuilt to as right now its 6 inches too short and leaves dark areas. Anyway its a little bigger than the 60L, 88L now so more spaced out and has black Florabase as supposed to the brown, anyway enough talk here's a pic.

I don't think you should be allowed to participate in the tank of the month competitions because we'll have no chance.

Hey that's harsh lol, there's been loads of amazing tanks this year, my December winning totm won't win tank of the year trust me. Novembers totm was awesome.

Quick pic of my home made clear inlet, outlet being done in next few days, only bought a short piece for trial and it worked well.

Much better than the ugly black pipe from the filter in previous pics. Excuse the ugly looking temp lighting and this is an attempt at the ADA style.

New lighting coming very soon plus some other goodies.
