My 1.2m Malawi set up

Below are pics of my 1.2m Malawi set up, I make my own kida tube caves with PVC tubes







The front of the tank


Curently busy with my 2m and then the 2.4m

 

Looks very cool

 

Thanks man

 

nice idea with PVC Bro!

 

Thanks Man

It work really well with out putting strain on the base with rock, I going the similar set up on the 2m but have bigger ideas with the PVC tube

 

looks good I suppose you used silicone on the pvc pipe and if I may ask what size pipe you are using

 

I am not sure on the size, its the one use for toilet - lol the big one, I bought a 3m lenght cut in to sizes i wanted, drilled holes for the caves, you must sand paper the whole tube, you a 400grid, wash let dry and aply the silycone, role on the gravil or pour is over, and let dry for a day or so, and what i did just to be safe is i filled the bath tub with water and left it in there for 2 days or more, Fortunalty i have spare bath room that we dont use

Its lost of fun and you can play around with the tubes and make diferent stuff

 

One question, everybody talks about malawis and they are also sold as that in th LPS but what is their scientific name?

Just want to do some research.

 

Malawi is a collective name for them. They each have a specific name. But due to the LPS ignorance, they just sell them as "Malawi's."

 

Thanks Zoom
Thought I was missing something somewhere. Because when I looked at Malawis I also got a lot of different fish.
