myfishybuisness Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 ok , will try update with pics once a week or every second week from now on,was going to update tonight but fish are not out and about and are quiet shy, and the water have particales in it after my water change this afternoon, but i think the best pair of kribs are breeding in a peice of bamboo, ALL THE CORIES IN THE TANK SPAWNED THIS MORNING, the glass was covered in eggs, until the angels, kribs,cockatoos and bristlenose got them, i would swear there was over 600 eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculator Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Shame about the cory eggs getting eaten, I could have helped to re home some of them (my tank is always looking for free fish). If your kribs are breading I guess I will have to have some of them instead, If you dont let them get eaten... Hahaha, joking. Any way, looking forwards to the picture update, I am sure it will look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 so on the weekend i sold a pair of kribs, now just have the dominant pair, was a mixed bag today....... finally got my regulator and all the free plants with it :lol: (p.s thanks to the seller) , but when i hooked it all up nothing happened,did everything right still nothing happened, so i took the regulator off and turned the tap to see if it had any pressure at all......... no , so looks like the co2 bottle i got had a slow leak or wasnt filled..... i wont name names because they might solve this problem , anyway i have some pics of what i have gone to the drift wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwan Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Tank is looking really good, well done! Great carpet you have going there. 840's are 4000Kelvin, the spectrum of the sun (at midday at the equator) is 6500K or thereabouts and is what a lot of people tend to get. You can go as high as 10,000K, 18,000K even. I've only gone as high as 10,000K and it looks nice over a planted tank. People have had great results with the higher kelvin bulbs but 865's (6500K) will do you pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
