Can't really see the fish ... but you can see the tank layout....


Thanks to Guido for the plants - hope they last!

That is a nice set up there dangerous D. I would thin out those floating plants a bit though... seems a bit distracting to the eye. (My opinion)

Actually agree with you... need to do some trimming / spacing etc

Lol - you talking about my in tank "sump / filter" - real beginners choice I know !!!
But really does work well... keeps the water spotless (would never go with an in tank sump again)

Unless you talking about something else?

The filter you can you can see above oulined in Red by TroyFish - lol
2 Glass chambers...
1) water goes in through filter material (Bio Balls / Cermaic Rings / Stones / Roof Insulation)
2) 2nd chamber only has a submersible pump and pumps it back in to the main tank...

really simple can never really go wrong - But does not look great being on the side (should be along the back and consealed)
I see the guys using the same type filter system on back of the nanos

The red box marks the gorilla!

Is the last chamber drilled or is the return pipe just over the glass?

LOL - you making me laugh - 1 GORRILLA = 2 cermaic rings / 2 Angelfish / 1 heater - ha ha (that's so weird)

The return for the pipe is drilled - but right at the top (could have actually just go over the top)

I CAN see it... It's really weird... trick photography :-)

Can anyone else see it? - you need to let the shapes blur a little

I saw it on the first pic. It's an illusion from the glass sitting at 90degreed. The mirror image combined together gives the effect of a gorilla... unless the guy behind the camera isn't sharing something!
