    Thanks I figured it out!

    The lights are the standard 100x 7w white LEDs along with a 450mm TMC Aqua Blue Flexi LED strip.

    No idea. It's from YouTube. Try Shazam?

    Here's some snaps from my 200l mixed cichlid tank :) I'm sure the lake purists will be shaking with disgust about my motley malawi/tanganyika crew but rest assured, they'll be in two separate set-ups before the summer :) ... This frontosas are just 'resting' in my malawis' tank lol

    Latest addition to the marine tank. Wanted one of these for a while.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,967 ✭✭✭Soups123


    Just started from scratch, replaced stones, plants and ornaments. Not sure whether to go Cichlid or Community


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,967 ✭✭✭Soups123


    A few more tweaks including an air block

    Hi, I would of liked to go community myself, but from buzz's advice on here with my ph that was high he had suggested to go afcrain cichlid, because I'd have to alter my ph to have a community, but if you're going cichlid you're going to need to put nice rock & make some caves/holes in the thank
    but I am happy that I went with cichlid as when their colours develop they're gonna br rocking fish!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,389 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    change my tank around a bit with the help of buzz to suit the fish.
    new layout

    My new betta is turning from black to blue. I think he's some kind of double tail/ Half Moon cross, if that's the right word.

    Sorry about the quality, I recorded it on my phone. Good shot of the fins and colour at about 25 seconds

    I got me a pretty new betta

    Aaaaand, now he's dead. Getting real tired of this 'lives a year, if you're lucky' thing bettas have going. One day he was swimming around like normal, the next he was lying on the bottom hardly breathing.

    I'm very close to just pitching the 'Ube into the bin, but I'll probably put some cacti in there or something. Currently it contains a nerite snail and a cardinal tetra who was put there after all his fellows died and I decided not to get more.

    I kind of want to keep it though. Maybe I'll stick some shrimp in there.

    Sorry to hear that. My betta spends a lot of time wrapped around plants or stuck to the inlet of the filter. Had a bit of a scare the first time I saw him sucked up against the filter...

    They are so beautiful, aren't they, but they do tend to fall asleep in weird places.

    I've decided what I'll do with it for now; it can be a grow-out tank for my juvenile Apisto until I can move him on. After that, who knows...

    600L Planted tank, day 1.

    Substrate supports still visible, as are some of the root stopper pots; but they'll all be covered within the first 40-50 days.
