tank shots wanted....

Post by andyj »

Hi guys,

Can peeps post up some shots of their tanks....

I'm after some ideas for the aquascaping in my new 120-litre L134 species tank ;)

Any input would be much appreciated :D

Cheers,

Andy

A slightly older photo of my set up. I have changed it a little over the past few months but nothing drastic...

Cheers for that Doc ;)

Was thinking of something along those lines.....

Might try and have a split level set-up, with half the substrate being a couple of inches higher than the rest, held back with a large piece of slate.

Have opted for the 'fine gravel' as a substrate, as I've never used sand before, and I'm a bit cautious after reading different articles etc.

As for the caves, I've already made some pvc tubes covered with gravel, which my BN plecs have used for breeding already. So I'll make a few more of those I think. Coating them with silicone and then gravel, reduces the 'white-tubing-in-your-tank' effect !!! ;)

I think maybe I'll get rid of all but a handfull of the sand in my tanbk, since you guys seem not to use it. I've heard that can be troublesome though- resting on a smooth surface covered with bacteria as opposed to resting ona rougher surface covered with bacteria- oh never mind I'm not making sense.
