supasi Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hey that looks awesome. What substrate are you using (looks like good ol west coast iron sand, am I right) Also is this the tank the cat has been fishing in?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yup, iron sand on top of daltons. Someone up in akl was kind enough to post me some. And yeah, this is where the guppies are going missing from. I know putting a lid on would probably solve the problem, but lids are so icky :roll: Least the guppies sleep on the bottom of the tank in the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Can I ask where you got the light fixture from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 From my ever resourceful boyfriend Was trying to find a good nano light, but NZ fails a little in that respect if you want more than 15 watts over your tank. So he made me that fixture. Welded steel, spraypainted white inside, black outside, with 4 energy saver bulbs in it. Have run their power cord out through the stand bit, plus it hooks onto the desk and sits under the tank to hold it. I love it. We both wanted a minimalistic sorta light that wasn't attached to the tank top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBlade86 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Very nice tank! Did that glasso or whatever plant grow that much in a week? Where can I get those from? Whats the official name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Another update, if anyone cares lol Rozski, of course we do Always nice to get updates. Your tank is really great looking. Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 WOW that is really really nice! true about getting enough light..... this lacks in so many "package tanks" i feel sorry for ppl as often their plants won't thrive without enough light. so i take it your bf also wired up the lights inside it? like the CO2 device. nice guppies, but you gotta end up with a bunch of cardinals in there...seriously! the hairgrass and glosso really complement each other too ay?
