looks brilliant, love the stone floor! the only thing i would suggest is to position the caves at different angles so they can pick the with the best water flow.

great stuff!

Looks good to me, I'm also liking the slate floor. Seems to be quite popular these days.

How are you getting on with the moss balls? The reason I ask is that mine used to roll around the tank like tumble weeds due to the current, of course they used to get stuck in places. I eventually took them out as I felt they were disturbing the zebras.

You might want to consider a heater guard for that exposed heater.

Regards.

Adam

Hello Charlie
The setup looks very good, bet the big bit of wood with all the plants on it cost a bit, but it looks worth it.

Where do you get your big bits of wood for your tanks, the shops in Glasgow Road that i use, only ever have odd bits now and then, the last few bits of wood that i have bought, have been from Ebay.

Hi Charlie, Very nice looking set-ups there

I hope the zebs like it too! Oh and Andrew, what's wrong with E-bay? This is where I had my new baby zebs from

Ebay is fine, i just prefer to see the wood before i buy it.

Hi, Good point there Andrew! You never can tell what or where the wood came from
