300l Start up

That is what my powerheads filter looked after first hour in tank when I set it up:

​

 

@TroyFish - clear your inbox dude - cant answer your PM...duh

 

Lol sorry man, im so famous you know....don't be hating lol only kidding. Send now

 

Yeah - no hate here - us bunnyhugger types believe in cosmic harmony...lol
Went through...thanx

 

The Aqua Master magic clear works great!!!

Here is an update pic of just 4 hours of adding

 

Is it not because all the cr4p has settled or is there a skim at the top?

 

You should have tested with the filter off . .then we know for sure its the product and not the filter ..

 

We must experiment! (In crazy Russian accent)

 

Well the filter ran all night last night and up until 6pm this afternoon and was still cloudy. After and hour you could see a little difference.

I will open the filter tomorrow and see how it looks. But just move the gravel around and nothing seemed to happen. My guess its all sitting in the filter.

@TankMaster when i redo my 150l i will do the test, should be this weekend or during next week, will keep you posted


Sliders are due for tomorrow, Then just need to add the 4 reflectors and the remaining 2 lights then its planting time.
Rocks and wood will be added later. Pics will following as i go along. My best project yet!!!

 

Plants are in, added a few rocks....not wood as yet.

Will post a pic later today

 

looking foward to the pics

 

Here are some pics....i guess im not gifted with scaping lol

I have received my angles, they are in a quarantine tank until tank is ready. Might be adding a few tetras to speed up the cycling.

Used a total of 29 Potted plants and only 20kg sand. Think i will used the remaining 10 for my 150l

 

Kendall, that tank is realy looking good. Nothing wrong with your scaping!
Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Looking good troyfish ... to make things pop a bit add a background to the outside of the tank ... I like dark blue cellophane or even black.

Later Ferdie

 

Thanks Gert, really trying my best with this tank.

@f-fish i havent had time yet but as soon as i do will get it done, wires and tubing at the back makes it less attractive. Thanks for the tip!

 

Does look good. When the plants grow in it will be a nice home for any angel

 

Yo Kendall - Schweet scape dude... gonna look REAL good once all those plants have grown in...

 

maybe add some drift wood? or just a large rock towards the back so it doesnt look so static? but if u like the dutch look, this will work too when it grows in

 

Will get a few pieces maybe next week. Only done work at 6pm during week and working this weekend

 

Hey Kendall,

I agree with Gert on this one... no need to worry about the scape... it looks good. When the plants fill out it will look stunning. A log or two may also just give it that "completed" feel, but may also clutter it if not places correctly.

I like it!
