Matt Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Hi All, I've been lurking for a while and thought I better introduce myself. I'm 23 and live in West Harbour, Auckland and currently have two tanks, a 24-12-15 in my office and a newly set-up (yesterday) 20-14-12 in my bedroom. I have a larger tank 40-20-20 which I am currently building the stand for.... this has been a rather drawn out project, two years and counting :-). You can check out a few pics of my office tank here http://www.geocities.com/i_lovebeer/index.html, I will have pictures of the other tank up in a few days. Are there any members here of either the North Shore or Auckland fish clubs as I was thinking of joining? Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 matt, you have missed the green bay meeting for this month. As a fellow westie if you are keen to go next month give us a yell. It's a rather difficult place to find if you don't know where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Matt the office tank is awesome. The plants are so healthy and it sure looks like an interesting tank to have in an office. Is the at home one is going to contain cichlids Just a guess by the decor. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hi Goldie, Thanks for the compliment on the office tank, it has had a bit of a redesign since those photos were taken. Once I've given it a bit of a clean and a prune :lol: I will take and upload some more pictures. I haven't quite decided what to put in the home tank yet but I was thinking of keeping a pair of Kribs or other dwarf cichlids in there. Any ideas on fish or plants would be appreciated. I am hoping to go low light and no Co2 if I can get away with it. At least till after Christmas anyway. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 You seem to have this fish and tank thing pretty well sussed Matt... Great pics, nice healthy looking fish (love the ram) plus some choice plants. Good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Thanks Bill, the Ram is my favourite out of my fish, the only problem is trying to find him a girlfriend that he actually likes. I would love to breed from him, I've had him for over a year now so I might not have much time left. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
