New diy 10 feet tank, now planted and cycled. It's great to watch the fish shoaling in the evening, usually there are about 40 to 50 fish shoaling the complete length of the tank. You wouldn't think so looking at the photo because I had to take it from a distance to get the complete tank on, hence you can't see many fish.

Advice: Never be too eager to put new fish into a tank, Always quarantine them first. I have learned from my mistakes. Don't forget to change around 10 to 15% of the water once or twice a week.Although some people disagree with this but because I live in a hard water area I filter natural rain water for topping up the tank and since doing this the fish look a lot healthier and the catfish have started laying eggs on the glass. Just by watching your fish on a daily basis you get to know when they are happy or are in anyway stressed and can act accordingly. Addition 24/11/2006 > Have set up another small breeding tank for my Corydoras and currently have about 20 baby Catfish and believe it or not some are Bronze Cory's and some are Peppered, so they are all breeding at the same time. Fantasic. Will add photo of babies when they are large enough.
Fish Kept: Bronze catfish - 12 Peppered catfish - 8 Neon Tetra - 11 Glowlight Tetra - 8 Silver Dollar - 2 Clown loach - 1 Zebra Danio - 5 Black Neon - 4 Black Widows-3 Harlequins - 10 Rummy nose Tetra - 6 Humbug catfish- 1 Pleco - 2 Angels - 2
Plants Kept: There are around 30 different species of plants, along with rocks and bogwood. The plants are rooting and growing but it will not look at its best until the groundcover plants have spread over the gravel.
Tank Size: 90
 
Description: Have just spent 2 months making this 10 feet long tank and cabinet along with a friend Dale Ketteringham (many thanks, Larf). It is now cycled and has plenty of fish and plants in it, although some of the ground cover plants have a bit of spreading to do yet. The tank is 10ft long x 16" high x 15" depth. The stand is made of 2" X 2" steel box section and will hold the weight of over 2 tonnes,On top of that is a timber flat base and polystyrene. All the doors are pine and painted. The hood is pine and primed and painted. The glass is 8mm thick but the bottom has an extra section (which is 16mm smaller than the base) thus forming and corner to bond the sides to. Used six tubes of top quality silicone. But was still petrified when I GRADUALLY filled it. (No leaks. phew!!)There are 2 x 42" T8 Auaqglow lights and the condensation tray is made from poly carbon and cut into 6 sections with handles fitted for ease of access to any section of the tank. The are 2 external fluval 405 filters and 2 300 watt heaters.
