Tanks look great Alasse. You clearly have a passion for fish. Hope my 7footer will look as stunning when it arrives. How long do you normally cycle your tanks?

Thank you.

I do fish cycles, as to how long that is depends on the tank really. The above is 2 days old, but has a mature filter in it.

I'm taking the 5ft (90gal) in a new direction. The maingano colony are to be sold/traded, hopefully on the weekend.
The clowns will go into temp housing while the 5ft is completely pulled down.

Substrate will be white sand. Plants will be Large swords and Val. Hardscape to be large branchy wood (if i can get some) and possibly some rockwork. Fish will be ????????????, nah not telling until they are in and then i'll grab a pic ;D

Fully rescaped the 2.5ft angel tank, no longer housing the angels though, they have moved back into the 4ft planted. Not sure what will go into the 2.5ft now though
Fully rescaped the cherry shrimp tank, plants were required elsewhere and excess wood added. This tank is like a storage bin *L*
Goldie tank had a 50% WC done today.

Oooh, I love that last picture, of the 5 ft. Wood looks really good in tanks. And the 2.5 ft is just gorgeous.
Alasse, have you ever submitted an entry to the AGA Aquascaping contest? You might win a prize.

Thanx guys :)

No never entered :)

I have ordered fish for the 2.5ft tank. 1 pair of Blue Rams and a pair of Longfin Gold Rams will be calling this tank home

The 5ft - I have changed my mind of the stocking for this tank as i fould a supplier of something i have wanted for a while. There will be, i hope, 10-12 juvies added in the coming weeks. they do have to be ordered and due to that it could be 4weeks, give or take.
I added some small swords to the tank today, also a male BN as a friend for the large female that lives in there
I'll grab a new pic tonight now its cleared a bit, tannin stained though.

4ft update - Added a new large sword and planted some small chain sword (darn rosy barbs keep uprooting it grrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
