    Due to space restraints i've moved all the livebearers into one tank and after much consideration decided to setup the one tank i've always wanted to do.


    A "Marine Look" Malawi Tank.

    Tank has been setup and will be cycling for at least 2 weeks before i will add any livestock.
    During this period i want to check PH etc.

    Added a few pics just to wet some appetites.
    Remember that i have not added the Blue lights yet.:cool:

    Hi Jacques,

    Put a bit of fish food or ammonia in the tank so that the nitrifying bacteria can accumulate.
    Without a "load" the filter will not be mature enough to handle the fish load when you introduce them.
