BikBok Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I started with guppy in my AR380 , and a bristlenose of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1CK Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Or a group of 4 ottos any smaller tetra and plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hmmm, we may have to have a AR380 tank competition - I have one that I have to break down because it has developed a leak, so will have to replant it after I fix it. I think there are a few members on this forum who have them, who is up for a challenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I competition sounds great Zev , but how many people have this tank? Perhaps a general competition for similar sized tanks? I'd go all out for a nano planted but it depends on what lights you have really. As for livestock, I'd have a Fighter, some of the smaller tetras, Otto's and/or some Cory cats. Maybe even some fancy guppies? Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 would my jebo r338 count its a similar tank and also leaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a few members on this forum who have them, who is up for a challenge? hmm, I have an AR-380 but I'm not that clever with aquascaping.. and I have an artificial mountain in there I'm rather fond of.. not a lot of room left for pretty plants. lol. Just got an Indian fern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Looks like you might have to do a bit of research then BikBok, get those aquascaping techniques up to scratch http://www.plantedtank.net/articles/Aqu ... hnique/27/ http://freshaquarium.about.com/library/ ... 22203a.htm Those two articles helped me out ALOT.

Zev Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Gee Phoenix, are you that enthusiastic about an aquascape comp that you have to post twice? I thought it may be a good way to give other people ideas about how you can set up a smaller off the shelf tank, I also have a couple of AquaStart 320s. We could look at off the shelf tanks up to 40l - that would include the likes of the Jebo r338 and the Hailea FA300. No mods to the lighting.

JazzyJeff Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I got one too - can I play :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Define the rules please Zev. What fun is it if you can't mod the lighting? :lol: Is it all tanks 40L and under? Does it count if I lower the water level by about 14L? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I have 2 AR380s lying around if anyone wants them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I have 2 AR380s lying around if anyone wants them If only I were in Southland... How much for shipping do you reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonman Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Sound's like a good idea, to whoever is going to take control and organise this, it might pay to start a new thread with rules etc etc, but you can use this thread to discuss what ppl want in the way of rules etc..

phoenix44 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think there should be a prize! a good prize! that way i can justify buying an AR 380! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos & Siran Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Cool, we're in, just won an AR126 on TM. Have to sharpen up on our landscaping skills but, cheers for the links Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 i've got an empty jebo r338, exactly 40L, does that count? It had no bulbs when i got it though, i'd have to find out what they cost to buy first I've got a 9L at school i'm setting up this week too, its tiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Define the rules please Zev. What fun is it if you can't mod the lighting? :lol: Is it all tanks 40L and under? Does it count if I lower the water level by about 14L? It would be better to see what can be done with a stock standard off the shelf tank - rather than get into too many mods!

Zev Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I think there should be a prize! a good prize! that way i can justify buying an AR 380! So are you going to hassle some suppliers for us, then Phoenix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinkles Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 i vote we find a fish store to sponsor it with vouchers for the winner or top three. One that ships, like hollywoods? We can always hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
