Scuba Sam Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 After much procrastinating, I finally got around to setting up my new four foot tank, with a little help from a friend. I bought this tank last year to give more room to my severum. And coz I thought it would look better than my current "best" tank. Here's the progress so far...

Scuba Sam Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Georgeous is my main helper - the cave section was made by him!! We had lots of fun, and I dropped him home after bedtime. Plus he is way taller than me - check out the photo of me standing on a plastic chair (which proved to be a poor choice as I ended up crashing to the floor, injuring my assistant in the process...

Copy and paste it into your post. Make sure your pics are max 640 x 480 and whatever the max kb size is (would have to check what it is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuba Sam Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Note that George is just reaching into the tank - I am about eight inches shorter than him so can't reach as well even with a chair!! Thanks Dixon - I have finally got it sussed!! And thanks Caryl and Oscar for their tips too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuba Sam Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 We got the idea for the coloured gravel from a clever person on this forum. I used Daltons Aquatic mix for the base layer, then Dalton's propogating sand, followed off by the two colours of stones. We had great debate about the patterns of the sand - I turned down the idea of zebra stripes. We settled on the shark fin pattern. I didn't want too much white coz of my school of 11 albino cories. The rock cave structure was a team effort - George did the actual work sorting out the order of the stones on the kitchen bench (I don't actually use my kitchen for food, just for fish stuff).
