Some more

 

awesome stuff

 

Nice man, but more plants:blink1:

 

Nice. What fish you keeping in there?

 

oh and dont plant the rhizomes of the ferns rather tie them to the drift wood just above the substrate..

 

Very nicely scaped....nice base for plant growth. Some moss onto the left log would be gr8. Some crypt parva in the front left area of the tank would look absolutely awesome there. Maybe add Rotala Macranda or Red Cabomba at the back somewhere to break the greenery (assuming you filling it up with some more)....the tank would would then be awesomeness, as Mongs would say

Oh yes, what lights do you have in there? Any CO2?

Chiao

PS - Very beautiful beautiful beautiful denisons you have there mate

 

I am running four 54W T5's and yes I am pumping CO2.

Got mainly tetras, some clown loaches, two rams,two torpedos a bulldog and a twig.

Some moss would be good. GOT SOME FOR ME ?

 

very nice indeed!

awesome puntius denisoni!

do you have Rathburn's tetra's in there, pic not too clear...

yep, you have a good base to develop this into a planted tank!

 

Hey Brentnorm,

Tank looks awesom buddy. I notices your heaters are very 'vertical'. I'm sure you've seen the current heater threads... if not check them out, and possibly look at putting your heaters more horizontal.

 

Zoom, looks to me his heater is sitting at 7 & 1....Should be ok.....

 

It's all good. Heaters will. Be fine at 1 and 7

 

Your substrate looks very rough - just watch the barbels on your clown loaches as they will easily get damaged if the substrate is not fine enough.

 

Do you think I should add to my current substrate ? What do you suggest ?

 

Clown loaches don't generally dig so what I'd do is remove the top half of the existing substrate and replace it with a finer substrate. That way you are not removing all your beneficial bacteria but are still providing a 'friendlier' substrate to your bottom feeders.

 

I've got mine split 1/3 coarse substrate on the right and 2/3 poolsand substrate on the left

 

URM....so do your bottom feeders stay on 'their side' :blink1::bigsmile:

 

They can go wherever they feel comfortable. Got one Kuhli Loach that sits under a rock on the coarse gravel... For some reason he doesn't like the fine sand???

 

Your 'craziness' is rubbing off on your fishies :bigsmile: LoL

 

:bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile: well trained. I saw same really nice fine black flourite. Was thinking of adding some.
