Juwel Rio 400

I am currently in the stages of breaking down my tanks as I am moving back to Johannesburg from Cape Town. I have only been here for 18 months, but I gor where my job pays me to go unfortunately.

My main display tank is a Juwel Rio 400, with flourite, pressurized co2 and used to be a whole bunch of light...

This is about the best my tank looked while I was in JHB:



In Cape Town it looked like this:

Not sure what happened to the posts here, so I will try again.

This is about the best my tank looked in JHB in may 2009:



Then after moving to Cape Town, it looked like this:



and then this:



That's not to say I haven't had my fair share of problems with this tank. In JHB I never could quite get rid of some cyano, and in the Cape I have been battling with clado, I also had green water.

 

Amazing looking tank, no teach us

 

Way cool - especialy what it used to look like in Jozi(1st pic)..... What is the plant on the extreme right of that pic? Aponogeton crispa?

 

@azurekoi - it was hygrophilia augustipholia - willow leafed hygro

 

Thought it was a bit "short" for the Aponogeton.... Seems to have that same wavy leaf form though....pretty cool plant,I must say

 

How many cardinals are in that tank bro?

 

when that last pic was taken, just over 90 or so...

Hi WBS how do you photograph your tanks?
Equipment,lighting etc?

 

hey BWS very nice setup. Love the way you positioned the driftwood. I know the red plants require very high light, so you probably running hi light hi tech system?
Do you run Co2?

 

You should see WBS's tanks in person. It's really mindblowing, the okes a genius.
