April 16, 201115 yr Author comment_429717 Ok, here goes. Just got back from Himitangi Beach with driftwood and sand so the tank is still quite murky, but it will settle soon. Lighting is 1x 18000K powerglo T8 (3ft). PS- car also got stuck in the sand so we had to dig it out :lol: it was a fun day that's for sure. (Can someone PS this pic and remove the glare from the flash that makes it too yellow?) Report

April 16, 201115 yr comment_429740 Did the goldfish come from the beach as well? I wonder if you will have trouble with the fish ripping their flowing fins, or damaging bulgy eyes, on the thin, pointed driftwood pieces. Report
April 16, 201115 yr Author comment_429744 what temp is your coldwater tank? Definitely under 20C! :lol: No heater in this tank :nilly: The val in this tank has been sitting outside in a 'pond' like thing for the best of a year and a half now with some other 'tropical' plants that will be on the high risk plants too. Did the goldfish come from the beach as well? I wonder if you will have trouble with the fish ripping their flowing fins, or damaging bulgy eyes, on the thin, pointed driftwood pieces. :lol: Nah goldfish came from a store. They all have names too! The root structure has been in the tank for months now and the fish seem ok with it; but it's a relatively large tank and if it causes them problems it'll have to go. Report
