    I am off this week-end to go shopping for fishy things for my 280 litre tank. Deffinatly going to replace the sand, lights (some) and the back ground. And some more plants. And maybe rocks/driftwood depending on what I can find. And DIY here I come.

    I am board with my 280 liter tank and background. I have so many ideas.

    Monday, Tuesday ....... dam saterday still so farrrrr ............. :elefant:

    Ok, I am soooooo happy I met the most stunning people on Saturday!! And the tanks and fishes I saw was incredible!! Thanks Len & Llewellyn from Bloem. You are stunning people!!!

    I got stunning guppies and a lot of Bristolnose catfishes. They all arrived well, and they are settling into their new home already.

    We had allot to do when we arrived home on Saterday afternoon. First we had to get the fish out of the buckets and then started to set up 2 more tanks. Catching the little ones was a mission. Seems to me a few females desided to drop some fry while in the buckets and we had to catch all the small ones before taking out the bigger fish.

    Then after all the fish were in the tanks I began planting the plants I got from the LFS, Llewellyn & Len. Hopefully they will start to grow asap. On Sunday morning we were up about 6:30 and started to set up another tank and my hubby installed my 2 new 21 W Opple lights in the big tank(big differance). Will be buying some more lights as time goes by.


    Here some photos but please excuse the quality it was taken with my BB.


    O and my big tank make over I had to put on hold because I could not find black sand in the hole of Bloem. But booked 6x5kg packes. So for now I am going to have to be patient just a little big longer. :bawling:
