soz its not good quality, but it shows how ive put the tank :D

tell me what you think :nod:
the little tank on the right homes a small male betta, if you were going to ask :p
 
do you think that the 2 cupboards are strong enough to take the weight?
 
i have taken all the feet off the cupboards, and today ive gone out and bought really fine gravel which looks like sand, heres some pics..

i no the gravel isnt level but im not going to fiddle around with it now, because if its ok i might add some plants :)
with the new filter media iv added 1 of my pads out of my other tank to help the cycle, ive set the heater to 77f

hope the cloudy dissapears i washed the gravel for hour and a half :crazy:

Hi guppy man,

Tank is looking good :thumbs:

dont level off your gravel. it looks far more natural with various dips and rises etc.

What you will need to do though is add MORE gravel. From what I can see in your pic, you only have a thin layer of gravel (particularly on the left hand side) and you are going to struggle planting any plants.

I would personally add the same amount again as you have already to give a good bedding for your plants.

thay only had 3 bags of that sand, so i got all of them, i might go back and get atleast another 2 bags that should be ok shouldn't it?
 
ahh thats how u get a wall of bubbles! an airstone lol :blink: :blink: dumb or wat! looks very nice b the way and the gravel looks like sand!
 
yes lol an airstone im getting 1 more the same size because my rena 400 has 2 outputs :D to have a big bubble wall. :p
the gravel is sand well thats what it says on the back of the gravel bag.
 
that will be y it looks like sand then lol! :p and it looks alot more stable on two stands :thumbs:
 
yes i knew that if i added water the tank might split, im happy with it like it is now :D
i will update soon, when i get more money lol :lol:
 
Just to let you know the heater does best near an area of high water flow i think e.i. near the filter. And im not too sure a 50w heater is really enough for a tank that size.
P.S if you put the heater and filter togeter it also looks neater IMO.
 
thnx ginge, the heater is the right size because when i went to get it there was a chart on the wall saying what type heater for what type of tank :D
