no substrate, no backpanel or at least paint, no plants or something like it....looks just like a retail LFS tank to me, not a hobbyist set up.

Re: My tanks (with added plecs)
Its a solids handling pond pump which connects to a pressurised pond filter. Im trialling it out on the tank to see whether its suitable for long term use. It works very well so far, only issues are its size and that im finding it hard to keep the pump outflow pipe attached to the pump.jimoo wrote:Cool!

And? I dont use a substrate because it easier to keep clean. In hindsight I would prefer a background but due to poor forward planning it got left out. The lights probably arent sufficient for most plants and I rearrange the wood often so anchoring them to it isnt feasible. As for its look, its based on the more Asian ethos.sidguppy wrote:no substrate, no backpanel or at least paint, no plants or something like it....looks just like a retail LFS tank to me, not a hobbyist set up.

Caution is a most valuable asset in fish keeping, especially if you are the fish.

Its my Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps. He's about 38cm TL and 13 years old. It looks a bit strange because he's looking directly at the camera.

Re: My tanks (with added plecs)
old post but a good low light plant is java moss and java fern. in fact java fern will get a transparent colour and die of in well lighted tanksmatthewfaulkner wrote:And?
