aaarrrrggghhhh :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: you neat and tidy people, i hate you, makes my tank look a mess. G is another one like you. all sparkling and everything in order. thanks for making me feel inferior :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: . good luck with the breeding hope to see some wrigglers soon, and could you make it look a bit untidy coz it makes my tank look feral. great job keep it up, keep us posted. :D you gave me an idea with the filters thanx.

oh one more thing your stand looks like its bending a bit in the middle, i'd be very careful, maybe add another support in the middle just to be sure. there's a gap at the bottom of your two tanks and the tops are touching, looks like something to be worried about. does anyone else notice the bend ???

NIce clean setup ,, looks great!


yep you have a bend there! that needs support big time :)


awsum picture taking by the way what type of camera do you have?

[goldenpigeon]

the set up looks great but it does look like its bending in the midle :shock: it could be the angel but you can see the light at the bottom between the tanks slightly (if that makes sense). might want to look into that.

nice fish!

[DR.V]

That is awsome !!


I love the DYI sponge filters!

I second that.

Thanks a lot for the comments guys! Much appreciated! :D :D :D

As for the pair, they have laid eggs in the display tank twice so i thought id take Ladyreds advice and move them to a tank of their own...

As for the Rack looking like it is bending... I’m not sure.. Will have to check if it's an illusion from the tanks touching due to the foam being weak in the middle, or if it is actually a defect in the stand...The rack is designed to house two 4X18X18 tanks and that’s what i have, so i guess it should be fine :wink:

Thanks for the comments on the pictures... I try to get the most out of my Canon 20D but I’m still learning... :D

Thanks for the positive advice... Ill keep you posted if they spawn or if my rack collapses!! LOL
Cheers,

why take the risk, cut a couple of 2 X 4's and put them in the middle.
