I would like something like this if it's the kind of thing available around n about Yea its just coral rock you can buy in any LFS Ive changed my mined about this setup now. I'm thinking... -removing all the twisted val and growing it until a little taller and then selling it. -removing all the coral rock and putting it in the sump. -replacing substrate with new white 1-2mm gravel -removing all the ferns and selling. -yellows, plecos & tropheus are all for sale. Decor will possibly be... -big round greywacke river stones in piles with hidden pipes behind -straight val What do you think....? sound like a good idea?

ryanjury Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I must have missed this tank But very nice and loving those comps.. What is wrong with the current stocking list? And what tropheus do you have in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 In the case of straight val vs twisted, I prefer twisted any day, much more interesting in a current. I had a lot of it before I killed it, and it looks great en masse. However if you do decide to grow it and sell it later I might buy some from you!! I will keep an eye out for some of that rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si_sphinx Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Tank ended up in a bit of a mess from catching fish, background painted but now the tropheus, plecos and a few yellows are gone... Not the best photos but i will get more tonight. I need help setting up the sump. I can't get the flows right. If anyone is down here at any stage and know a bit about them, I'd love for you to give a bit of advise or show me how to get it sorted.

si_sphinx Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just took some photos of the tank tonight so thought I would do an update... It has been through a few changes. But now looks like this here... The Julies are constantly breeding, some fry survive. the fry range from 5mm to 20mm. The Leleupi are showing signs of breeding, diging holes, courting their mate etc but no sign of fry yet. The synos are also showing breeding behaviour. But I need to get some female hosts for the baenschi 1st. Maybe when I'm ready to let the synos do their thing :lol: I don't like any misbehaviour (Aggression) in my tank hense why the baenschi doesn't have any females yet. Frontosa turned out to be of bad quality with their barring. but it doesn't bother me too much. I just like watching them how they are.

ryanjury Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looking good The fronts still look cool with that random barring that is the line we have in NZ so not much you can do about it.. How many comps do you have in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Wow that is incredible! I love the choice of plants and fish. I don't really like the blue light though :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Isn't it good to be able to see how different tanks have developed? Looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thanks everyone. The blue leds come on about 5pm and the white ones turn off at 10pm. Im still experimenting to see if the java fern and anubias will grow under these lights. Not to sure if the fern will. There is only one comp left :tears: because he killed the other two. I want more though, enough so he won't have just one to pick on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
