About Yourself: Work for a worldwide excavator production company (NOT Caterpillar) but we do hold the land speed record for the fastest desel engine as from 2006.) as an Industrial Engineer. Have kept a tropical tank for around 27 years and it's that long ago I can't remember what got me into it, probably the beauty of the fish in particular the Siamese Fighting Fish which I managed to breed a few years back. Sat up until around 2.30 am watching them fertilize the eggs and put them into the bubble nest. In general I just love keeping fish and find it rewarding once the tank is all set up and planted out well, the latter being the hardest to do for me. Pete.
Advice: Spend plenty of time observing your fish and don't forget to do regular water changes of around 15 to 20% once or twice a week. I now use RO water because I have tested my tap water and found that it is high in nitrate and I still use filtered rainwater, this always seems to start my Cory's laying eggs everywhere and having done this for 2 years or more with no disease to any fish I can recommend it, but never capture the first rainfall after a dry spell as this is nearly always a dirty brown colour. The time to use it is when it's as clear as tap water. Another thing to remember is always wash your filters in a bucket of water that you have just drained from your tank and NOT under the tap.

Description: Diy project done September 2007, nearly 2 years old already, my latest addition is a Yellow Lab Malawi tank underneath, this was to save one Malawi from near death in his tank, he was being picked on. He's fine now and is the dominant male in this tank. The main 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. The Malawi tank is just a 3foot one with loads of caves for them and so far they seem fine. Hungry buggers though !
