| About Yourself: |
Im am a 22 year old young man who is currently setting up a business setting up and maintaining aquariums in the north west of England, If you know anyone that may be interested please tell them to visit www.Rent-An-Aquarium.com |
| Advice: |
Keep it clean! I do 45-50% water changes every week without fail. Also over filter your tanks as much as you can, I put twice the filtration recommended, it keeps the water cleaner, safer and more movement, If you can afford another filter theres no disadvantage |
| Fish Kept: |
Theres a few too many to list in my tanks now but basically, Male Only Aulonocara and Haps - Cichlids |
| Plants Kept: |
Plastic Plants, Ive never been a big fan of real plants. |

research and have lots of spare change!
Make sure your tank has adequate flow. Adding a UV sterilzer is a must it will save you lots of money and make your water look pristine. Simple small 10% waterchanges weekly and clean filters when they get dirty. |

Lake Malawi African Mbuna Cichlid tank. 3 Electric yellows, 3 Acei's, 1 Red Zebra & 1 Poweder Blue Socolofi. All still about 2 inches. Playground sand substrate, crush coral & shells line the corners and back to help keep Ph high. Mostly fake plants with a few clumps of live Hornwort here & there, (the buggers ate holes in the live ones I had put in). Different size river rock with some chunks of lava rock. 2 Power filters & 2 bubble walls. |
| About Yourself: |
I had a fish tank when my kids were little, but they were "kid" tanks, with all the colors. A year ago my son gave me his 20 gallon setup and I made it into a natural one, like I had always wanted. The fish bug bit! I then got another tank with Birchardies, then a few weeks ago still another! I can't seem to stop! But I love them so much and they are so fascinating to watch. |
| Advice: |
Read all you can about a type of fish you are thinking about! Do your research first!!
If you need to keep the Ph high, try putting crushed coral in jars at the back of the tank and mesh bags of it in the filters. Or use as substrate. |
| Fish Kept: |
2 Neolamprologus Birchardi, 2 Bolivian Rams, 2 African Dwarf Frogs, 2 Fancy Guppies, 2 Oto Cats, ghost shrimp, 3 Electric Yellow labs, 3 Acei's, 1 Red Zebra and 1 Powder Blue Socolofi.

| Plants Kept: |
Amazon Swords, Melon Swords, Horn Wort, Anubias Nanas, Mystery Swords, Red Rubin and Ruffle plant. and a couple tall fake plants in the back. |

| Description: |
I have a 46 gallon bow front fish tank. Using rainbow rock and mopani wood for decor. I have a Fluval 405 canister filter for filtration. Aqueon 150 for my heater. I just replaced my air pump with a penguin 550 and 1150 powerhead. I learned powerheads are better than an air pump for oxygenation and water movement. Im using white silica sand instead of gravel.
