| Description: |
This picture was taken a while ago, there have been a few changes since. The fish include: 10 harlequin rasboras, 2 SAE's, 5 otocinclus, 6 corydoras, 4 german blue rams, a few killi fish, and 6 cardina japonica shrimp. I don't gravel vac too often. I will just push the tube into the plants as far as possible to get debris out. Every once in a while I will uproot plants to gravel vac and then replant, this also keeps things from getting too dense. |

| About Yourself: |
Have kept a tropical tank for around 30 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.

| 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 do it twice a week. I now use RO water because I have tested my tap water and found that it is high in nitrate.
I have my own RO filtration unit and also use the water for making cups of tea, which I must tell you tastes far better than 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.
There is plenty of good info on the net now, so just read up and filter the info to suit your particular needs. |

| Description: |
Diy project done September 2007, 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, so I built a tank for him (Malcom) and got him some mates and now he is fine.He 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 4 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 3 external fluval 405 filters and 2 300 watt heaters.
I have now gone away from using gravel as substrate and use silica sand instead, have used this for the last year and regardless of what you read about it being no good for plants I have found that my plants have flourished since changing to sand.
The Malawi tank is just a 3foot one with loads of caves for them and so far they seem fine.
Hungry buggers though ! |
