    Hi

    Firstly let me apologize for the quality of the attached photos, now that that’s out the way let me begin.

    Ok, I haven’t done much on the forum for a couple months now. I attempted an underwater “waterfall†and failed miserably. Don’t ask for photo’s coz there aren’t any (esp none showing a flooded lounge or sand being sprayed around like a volcano instead of trickling like a waterfall).

    I have however “acquired†two more tanks. I now have 3 in total, a 500Litre community tank, 350Litre Malawi tank and a 100Litre planted tank (MTS is a &*%#). Once I built the 4foot/100litre planted tank I thought I’d build something special for the lid (see attached photo’s).

    The Malawi tank was straight forward, I welded together a steel stand, put a board on top of it then the tank, then added water and let it cycle for a month and bought some fish. (see attached photos)

    The 500litre I’ve had for almost 2 years now, it is on the forum somewhere http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/showthread.php?t=113 . Only thing I’ve done recently is empty it, clean it and rearrange the ‘décor’. (once again, photo’s are attached, if they aren’t I’ll add them later..)

    Cheers G

    Hey thanks,
    Fish relax me, so does a little booze every now and then, so I thought of combining them :)
    Fish don't drink, alcohol that is, so a canopy was the nex best thing.

    I like the low maintenance approach - tanks look good.
