Looks nice, to bad you have to use fake plants though... Do you have a one-way valve on the airpump? I'm sure you do not want to wake up with 250L of water in those plugs one load-shedding morning...

 

Nice tank

Can you tell us what fishes you have in there at the moment, or what type of tank you're planning?

 

thats a very nice subrate you have there and a nice layout too, if that were a planted tank with real plants it would grow out very nicely..

 

thanx, i do want to add some real plants but dont know what to add, i have 2 malawi's & 1 oscar in there, still need to get some more fish, dont know what yet

 

With Malawi's and an O you better have some mean green thumbs if you want to maintain a planted tank....

 

ya i with those fish its not a good idea to go with real plants... pity tho... you have a nice eye for doing that scape thing..

 

cool thanx, think ill stick with the fake plants, Pity ya

 

I took an expensive learning curve before realizing fake plants work the best when dealing with malawi's:suspicious:

If you want to add Live Plants, we spoke about that topic a yesterday: :nuts:
