hovmoller Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hello everyone! First post!! A bit about my tanks: 300L Juwel (living room tank that wife has to approve of ): South American theme. Rocks, driftwood and medium planted for now. 5 Discus, 8 Sterbai Cory, 4 Bandit Cory, 20 Cardinals, L270 Pleco and few SAE's (oops not S.A. but they just do such an awesome job!) 400L Glass tank (2nd bedroom/fish room tank): I made the lights for this tank myself. Just mounted 4 normal 240V halogen spots on a piece of wood and suspended it from the ceiling over the tank. Then used LED lights for the 4 bulbs. Uses a total of 14 watts! A bit dim but no need for strong lighting in this tank so I'm quite pleased with it. Sandy(ish) substrate, some driftwood and some heavily anchored (between rocks) anubias A pair of Geophagus altifrons grown out from a group of 6 (female in quarantine due to excessive wife beating) Some penguin tetras, glowlights and a flok of red phantom tetras (tetras are really only there as dithers/leftover fish from previous tank but the altifrons hardly notices them) I'm a rescent immigrant from Denmark and I've kept aquariums for as long as I can remember over there and now finally in a position to have a few tanks again so it's good to finally find a Kiwi aquarium community like this. So I guess I am just sort of getting started again with this hobby but already find myself gathering gear like a snowball going downhill! Anyway thats me for now. I've got a long (and dramatic) story about my altifrons I would like to share but not tonight. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Welcome. Hope you will be able to post some pics of your tanks at some stage too. Some of my relatives, a few generations back, came over here from Denmark so perhaps we are related :lol: My maiden name was Rasmussen, which I gather is the 4th most common name in Denmark (equivalent of Brown in English :roll: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
