New Tank Pics

Just had a big reshuffle of my tanks, thought I'd take some pics

Got a new (to me) Juwel Trigon 350, it's bloody enormous!!! Got that set up on sat (with a mature filter and substrate before anyone has a crisis at me for putting fish in straight off!) and moved some fish into it.

Few pics of it with and without special nightlighting! How cool is that, I'm also loving the bubbles coming out of the cave, looks like a sort of upside down waterfall, it's very cool

edi: decor's not fully done yet, will be finishing off when I can find/afford everything I want

this is my middle tank, that previously housed Oscar and Polly while they were babies, it's 120l

Ian's now going to turn it into a planted tank with t5 lights and other things I don't understand

It's currently housing a pair of blue lace gourami's, a pair of july cory's and a golden apple snail.

When I can find more I'm putting another 4 cory's in, 2 pairs of dwarf gourami's, 3/4 dwarf cockatoo chiclids and a royal plec

and finally these are my little tank, it's a bit of a state at the moment, in need of an overhaul. I added some bogwood the other week and I don't think I soaked it properly so the water's a little brown, also yes I know I have 14 billion snails...... had a bit of an overfeeding issue a month or so back, have cut right back, just waiting for them to start dying off..... I don't like putting in chemicals or anything like that to get rid of them.

This is going to be my livebearer tank, molly's, danio's, rasbora's, tetra's, that sort of thing and some ground crew, not decided on a stocking list for this one really, just seeing what's nice that's in my LFS's, got a lovely pair of green sailfin molly's this weekend, bargain cos she's preggers already!

Very nice tanks

thanks I'm so chuffed, been sat staring at the big one since I got it!!

Just to get an idea of scale, the Oscar in the big tank is about 7/8 inches.... can't believe he looks dwarfed in that tank! it's crazy

certainly do look great

Glad the move went ok and everyones settled in fine

aye, it was easy peasy for me, hard work for Ian though, I couldn't do anything so he did it all for me

just tried to gravel vac the tank........ had to get my step ladder out to reach!!

so chuffed with my new babies too, been after some firemouth's for aaaaaaaaages! They've got proper trout pout lips so I've named them Vicky Beckham and Leslie Ash both boys but I'm sure they won't mind

great pictures

love the one with the nightlighting that is so cool

they're all works in progress, can't afford all the plants and decor I want straight off. So I've had to take the stuff from 2 tanks and spread it across 3 to start off with, I'll be building them all up gradually when I've the cash.

for the big tank were gonna try and build up with loads fo slate and rocks, get loads of caves and stuff for them to play in, need to leave a fair bit of space tho as Oscar's need it

the middle tank's going to be really heavily planted, but obviously that's going to take a while to build up, need some better lighting and a co2 unit before I can make any sort of attempt at heavy plating so that's just ticking over for now

not sure what were going to do with the little one as yet waiting for inspiration!!

thanks debiasir
