Jennifer Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 That's an amazing video. So funny how carefully they 'plant' those little cornrows. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Nice vid - every time I hear An der schönen blauen Donau, it reminds me of a tedious spacewalk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I found my grandad's old tripod that he must have bought 50 odd years ago in Geneva and used that to hoist the camera. I used my normal camera to take the video, so im pretty pleased about the quality of the video, but it took forever to upload to youtube. I have the whole footage at 1080p so im stoked about that. Next time ill check to see if the eggs are fertile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I just love your tank. It is just amazing. My tank would make you cringe away in disgust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thanks joe. I've done a fair bit of cropping a couple of days ago so its not all that flash at the moment, but i'll post pics in a few more days. Added another 10 cardinals to the tank too. My agazzis should arrive in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 yeah joe. A few years ago I had this tank - Yes. Those are plastic plants :lol: I still have those plants somewhere in a bag... hidden far out of sight. ___ So today I did some more shopping. I put a new tube on one of the light hoods, and bought 2 new pleco breeding hollow logs. Can't believe I'm putting darn ornaments in my tank. Gah! But it must be done. These are the logs - And this is where they are going in the tank - Now I can only hope that the hypans find the caves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Why not stuff it in amongst all those plants? You wouldn't even see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Because its too dense. there is no gravel visible. its all plants. I guess the plants will grow around it eventually. Now I just hope the plecos find it, cause they normally only ever sit on the LHS of the tank where I feed the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I don't think the fake log detracts from the ugly filter intake, anyway... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I don't think the log detracts from the ugly filter intake, anyway... :lol: Cover it in moss...or cultivate some staghorn to grow all over it. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
