si_sphinx Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The battle of the BBA has finally been won! I neglected the tank for a few months and it went downhill. Busy with work. Everything covered in algae, it wasn't pretty. I did a big trim back of all my ferns and it didn't even look like I had cut them back when I had finished. Anyway I finally figured out the correct balance between light and ferts and everything is going perfect with the plants. HOWEVER... have flooded my lounge 5 times in the past two weeks :thup: :facepalm: And tonight again for the last time! I have had enough of this tank. I will take some final photos this weekend before I pull it apart. Marine is my next adventure. The tank will move to a different place in the house with new plumbing that won't flood. Not looking forward to seeing the carpet underneath :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godly3vil Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Oh well, can't wait to see this as a marine setup though. Are you going reef? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si_sphinx Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 No reef. Just FOWLR for a while and see how I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 You should do an African cichlid setup instead. They're just as colourful as marine fish and easier and cheaper to look after :thup: I personally don't see the point in having a marine tank unless it's a reef.

Godly3vil Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I think hes already done the African setup dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yea Ive had this same tank as a mixed malawi tank and a Tanganyikan tank. on two occasions. The tank is now empty of most plants. And still have all my plecos which are for sale. Offers welcome. I don't really want to be posting fish either.

Sophia Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I think you should take a selection of the photos and put them in the freshwater members section so we can remember forever :tears: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Photos 4 and 5 need to be swapped around it think. Great being able to see all the photos in order like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I will dd the photos to the members tank section when I have time. Photo 5 and 5 are in the correct order. Photo 4 is after I went away for a week over xmas and I wasn't there to keep the plant pruned. Photo 5 was after the plants had a trim. If you notice all the other ferns have more growth than photo 4. Most of the photos are a month apart. except for the last few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
