jasonnz Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi all, I hope you are all rugged up warm and sitting close to a fireplace with a nice glass of red. I didnt actually realise that there was such a thing as the Fnzas - so I have just stumbled across these forums. I'm Auckland based - and have joined these forums to learn a bit more about fishkeeping and to share some of the joy I get from my current projects. My current 2 tanks are tropical freshwater. 1 x 90 litre aquaone tank - currently actually a hospital tank with some ill tetras and my betta. 1 x 270 litre sunsun - which houses my current community. Community consist of : 2 x angels 1 x black ghost knife 2 x plecos (currently only 12cm each) 4 x pengiun tetras 2 x harlequin rasboras 4 x mollies 2 x chinese algae eaters 1 x dwarf blue gourami 1 x golden gourami 1 x Opeline gourami 2 x cherry barbs. These fish all get along well - I thought I was the master in good behavour and even had my betta in their for a few days : :facepalm: I never had any interest in keeping fish of my own until one of my staff had a tank for sale. which was the 90 which a week later became the 270 .. I'm running an overhead filter inside the sunsun - and UV filter in the tank and an AquaOne1200 canister for filtration which is setup using spraybars. The tank is planted and has a very large size gravel substrate. Here are some pics This is a cool pic - just after some clarity was used in the tank for the first time - I don't know how many people have used it - but the effect it gives off is pretty darn cool. (clears up in around 45 minutes). Tank with normal water clarity - this was before it was fully planted. My current project - Which I will start a new thread for is a slightly bigger tank .. measuring 2400x750x800. (which is 1440 litres) or just shy off. As you know - one tank is never enough .. and a tank is never big enough - I am going to create a monster of tropical freshwater tank which will actually be a large community. The tank will be fully planted and I hope to do this over the next 12 - 15 weeks. I am building the stand this weekend and the tank will arrive next Thursday. My tanks are at my office which is where I spend 12 hours of each day - so I get to enjoy them (as does my team) all day long. So Yeah .. HI !

jasonnz Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I just googled torpical fish forums and i arrived. Yes .. the planted tank looks amazingly amazing. My next tank is going to be a little more intense planting wise. I want to carpet 1/3 of it .. create a hidden valley and try and grow my moss tree. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
