TimTam22 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 what brand of tank is that I really really want one!!! You have made it look awesome, well done!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bOi Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Thanks for the support and positive comments Duboisi's are getting along and i think they are the yellow bands, as when i got them from the LFS they we still juveniles. Will give them a call tomorrow as they were also 100% unsure when they were still at the shop yeah so 2 of them, and as for the other two, i was told they were "fire crackers", ie protomelas taeniolatus and they were juvi as well. But I dont think they are, so unsure ?? but would love a red empress As for the brand, it just says "Hopar" on the lid. So im guessing its a chinese made brand. And cant find any online. I saw one on trademe: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=75589550 it looks the same when i got it off trademe, but the one in the link above seems to be "Boyu", so im not sure if they are the same as they look very similar, the cabinet, lid, even the lid colour. But I painted mine black. Hope that helps. I got mine 2nd hand but in a worser condition so i had to fix it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 looks stunning, very simple and effective. how u finding that filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bOi Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 looks stunning, very simple and effective. how u finding that filter? Thanks Just what i wanted, simple no complications and easy to maintain. The filter is great keeps the water very clear and provides very strong current too. Easy to maintain and do water change cuz of the drain outlet or the second connector to hook up anotehr hose on the out. But i do have one minor problem tho, i should have had the "IN" on one end and the "Out" on the other, but currently its set up with both on the same side. The reason i did this was that the hose they privided was too short to run to the other end, unless i have the filter siting in the middle section of the cabinet, but i will have problems with view form the other side of the tank. This caused the surface of the water on the end without the in or out appears to move only slightly.. hmm.. might just get a small power head for the other end or try playing with the nozzles oh yeah.. the nozzls are great but i found that after time, the sand at the bottom gets rearranged due to the current flow. but overall it has been great Hope its lasts long cuz i love the fx5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bOi Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think the 2 unsure ones are indeed Moliro's, like what Tidan has told me http://cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1910 They look almost the same, except on of them has vertical white stripes on them. Didnt had them when i first got them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bOi Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Having probelms with my lights now Altho the light fixtures in the lid is designed to be used without glass in between the water surface and the lights but it seems tho it has failed.. Im not sure if i should get glass cut to cover the lights from water condensation.. tank has been dark for a while, just getting some lights from the nearest door and the room light.

fishboi Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 gutted so there not working at all now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 The lights can be a problem on the units. I know they are meant to be sealed. But from having sold a few & seen a few come back, water still manages to get into the connections. I would get some glass cut. By the way, nice looking set up too, well done. Looks great.
