Im trying...

Hey guys

I know not many of you give me credit for my tanks. I am trying my best to get it to look good. Is hard as it is only a 100l

I will post my guppie/mollie tank as soon as im done with it.

Here is a pic of my tank.

 

I like it! Does it have any stock in it?

 

Nice tank,some activated carbon can clear it up a bit and make it sparkle.(just remember to clean the carbon first).

 

Looking good Troy! This the one with the moss rock?

Like the rock in the right corner, is it a real one?

Maybe some anubias Nana to grow on some of the rocks or a piece of wood?

What fish are you going to put in?

 

Yeah now it does, Gourami male and female, keyhole, Pleco, upside down catfish (I think), tetra, Rosy Barb and 1 Bala Shark


Pic was taken a while ago. too lazy to take another pic

 

Sounds good - if you're unsure of what kind of catfish you have, try to take a picture and post it in the ID section (or on this thread, doesn't matter ).

 

I know what catfish it is but its really a mission to type synodotis eupterus, Copied and pasted

Well i know its heavy weighs 4kg. Is that real LOL

The so called "Moss rock" doesnt seem to grow (Left rock) who knows why

 

TroyFish your tank looks good - don't worry about the opinions of others, at the end of the day you are the one looking at the tank and who must enjoy it and no-one else. I personally think that you have done a terrific job and I especially like the way you have incorporated the plants amongst the rocks on the left hand side. It looks really great!

 

Thanks Vee.

Unfortunately the pump i bought was a bit much for the tank, think of it as a tornado under water lol. So i put together a little DIY 'sprayer'. Filters through the pipe (Easy to remove) and also circulates the water without giving it too much of a current.

 

Troy what is your water temp? Moss like 25C and below.
Lights?

 

26-27......:wondering:

Light is 30w

Im guessing im doing this all wrong

 

turn your heater down a bit and do a water change,your temp should stabalise,mine varies 25-26.

 

Java moss won't mind the little higher temps and will grow in almost any light as long as you can stil see the moss.
Might just grow a little slower.

 

There is alot of it wrapped around the rock but havent seen any change. Think iv had it for 3 weeks or more. Cant remember

 

Give it a chance, will suddenly start growing fast. How long is this tank running? Might be that there
Is not enough nitrates in the water yet.

 

When i change my tank around i will drain all the water into 2 50l containers.
Once im done i put all the water back, and do a 20% water change the
following day. Maybe this is wrong. Just remember that i am still learning and
still need all the help i can get

 

:top: I like it. The rock on the left side reminds me of "elephant skin" rocks that I have seen at my local nursery and have been tempted to get some for my next project, looks cool. Question about the heater...isnt it better to submerge the whole unit? I have been told that the thermostat sits in the black "cap" section of the heater and submerging the unit will then give a more accurate reading.

 

My wife saw some of the pics on the forum of angels, three guesses what fish she now wants....

 

looking good troy... looking good...
PS: post pics with livestock!

 

Random

Will do that tomorrow. Kind of hard. The hide by the rock on the right.

They only out when the light is off for some reason
