The cube!

thanx @SloMo.00. and @Henkie. I think its going to be a challenge to get a good nice flowing scape. but lets hope for the best.

 

If i had DrAgon rock i would have used that but other wise i dont want to much hard scape, my one parcel is arriving tomorrow hopefully early. have to sort out the 3ft's plants also tomorrow morning.

 

@Ryno - Look how nice that piece turned out that i got. This piece cost me R20.00. I will look for you the next time I'm at the lfs :top:This piece only weighs 0.5kg and is almost twice the size of my hand. I'm sure it wouldn't cost too much to send a piece

 

Hehe thanx i like those rocks.

 

Look into courier fees. I will look at lfs

 

Looking good are you going planted tank only no fishes?:dontknow:

 

If I know @Ryno like I think I do... This is focussed more on the plants.

 

6 cherry barbs, 6 white clouds, 8 harlequin rosbaras, 6 boraras somethin(exclamationmark rosbaras) and 1 redline torpedo barb. Waiting for water to clear and show the semi scape. Still waiting for some of my plants and my co2. Got my quadx39w unit from jungle aquatics this morning so the lights is 6x39w. 4x6000k giesseman and 2x6500k sylvania

 

@Ryno - Nice lighting dude. Is it one of the fancy units with individual light timers?

 

Individual light switches not those with the timers ect like the ATI. They are insanely expensive! Oddesea unit

 

I saw one of those at the LFS the other day. Amazing what they can do. Lights come on at different times, brightness changes on individual bulbs etc etc...I just bought R30.00 timers to do a similar thing. I believe you can overdrive/underdrive flourescents so I will look into that.

 

Im somebody with quite a strict routine with everything i do so i dont need timers. Only when i go away for a few days i need it

 

@Ryno - Do you not use any timers? Do you switch lights on and off every day? :sleep:

 

No timers at all. Do everything like clock work. Nothing a minute to late. Fish get fed every morning at 7 and at 7 in evening again. Lights on from 8 to 8. Sometimes up to 9 if i busy with the tank.

 

You feed your fish before the lights come on? I read that you should only feed your fish a half hour after your lights come on.

 

Dude I sometimes feed my Tiger barbs in the morning without the light being on don't really think it can harm anything.

 

I feed like that because i have allllllooooooot of plecos in the 450 L One feeding the lights off and one feeding the lights on

 

@Ryno Why only one?.

 

Because they are expensive! Haha

 

Updates coming tonight
