Day 15 Tank is perfect, another 9 days till the plates arrive

Keep the great pics coming! A few years ago, the wife & I traveled to Cairns & spent a week on a live aboard Dive Boat Scuba diving the Great Barrier R eef. Now THATS an aquarium! More piccies to come for sure :) I used to live in Cairns and the tablelands, beautiful spot we are going out to the ...

Beautiful set-up mate! The Java Fern & driftwood looks very elegant! Just curious - is that a white Styrofoam sheet underneath the tank & sump? Sure is, the stand will be boxed in in another 2 months, so you wont see any of the sump and or top of the bottom of the tank where the foam is, and will ...

AZCatfish wrote: ↑31 Mar 2017, 00:12 Hey mate! Is that a glass or acrylic tank?

Hi mate
its a full glass tank with a custom weir, the back is blue vinyl wrap, and glass sump, the only Acrylic on the tank is the blue custom acrylic over the weir and the sock holder and drip tray

Thats Cool Johannes

we will have Discus in first and once settled will look at the substrate and cories after that sometime

I have lots of sarcasm and humor to me ;)

thanks
Ray

I have bred cories for probably more years than you have been alive ;)
their will be substrate going in at a later stage
thank you for supporting the little lives of cories everywhere

Sarah wanted a few Peppermint catfish in the Discus tank, so we caught out 3 little ones this morning, Breeding tank Ph sits at 4.5-5, this tank after a huge amount of rain fall is 6.5-7, acclimatized them well and now they are as happy as "" Pepps in mud""

We will more than likely go with Sterbai to start with, and Looking at a couple of options for the catties, here is the tank on Day 2 of setup, monitoring it for 4 weeks before the Discus come.

I am breeding pepps, albino 397's in the same tank,
50% water changing daily is nuts, defo not needed my PH is around 5 pushing it, fed my tanks maybe once every 3 days, check you are rinsing or blanching your vegies before u add them to the tank, some nasty stuff on them from the supermarket

settled for a nice mix of 8 discus, and some cories, and maybe sneak a trio of rams in, see how things pan out,
selecting the discus in another 4 weeks, Sterbai, maybe, just ordered a custom perspex sock holder for the sump, and some other sexy little things

over filtering is super sexy, the stand will be boxed in, so will hide everything ;)
spoken about Cory's will suss out options and see how we go

Hi guy's
took possession of our 5x2x2 centre weir tank yersterday, nice 4x18x18 sump to go with it, going out today to buy all the fitting to plumb the tank and sump, havent quite worked out what will go into this thing, girlfriend loves discus, I love the catties ;)

I think the previous poster was suggesting there is often confusion between similar looking Ancistrus. If you take a look at the Cat-e-Log you can find more details the L071 is here. That sounds like a great fish room, I keep planning one in my head for when we have the space! got it in one ;) :d ...

beautiful

Cool, congratulations, I need to dig out my GoPro and try that again, so much easier than trying to take pictures or video through glass! thanks man, my girlfriend and I have just recently come back to fish, went into reptiles for a few years, I used to have 140 tanks, so know my way round quite ...
