i found my nature tubes to give off a yellow tinge though.. maybe that was just me :blink: lol.

looks well :hyper: imo you should change those t5 nature tubes to daylight tubes.. believe me it would make a big difference! your water would look alot clearer without the yellow tinge the nature tubes give out.. that was the first step i took when i got my rio 300!

looks great, that background really looks good with a covering or algae.. far more natural now!

ill have to agree then :lol: ive no experience atall with live plants, hoping to go down that route soon though...

it was my understanding they did after reading an ebay ad and several forums saying they do... Moss Balls are commonly known as great Nitrate and Phosphate eaters. They help reduce these levels by utilising them to grow."

but do the multi's not dig them up? and moss balls are serious nitrate eaters from what ive heard.. and they are easy to grow :unsure:

im not sure if it would work but how about trying to make a 'freshwater refugium' in the filter compartment, add a couple of moss balls and a submersible light. food for thought thats all :lol:

had you 'excess nitrates'? how if you have such a low stocking density? surely nitrates couldnt be that much of a problem :P whats you water change routine?

sell the internal on ebay, ive seen them go for about £55-60 on ebay new! that would buy you a fluval 205 new or a used 305/405? or if your an eheim person a 2213?

what external you going with :huh:

i wanna see them now though :angry: blol

your addicted to tanganikans now! :lol:

lovely tank, been after one for ages now but i couldnt afford to splash out £700-800 on a tank lol. you'll notice it will look alot smaller.. just give it time :D

i might be up for posting some fish in a while if you are intrested? ive got metriaclima callainos ('f1' dad 'tb' mother)at 1 1/2" now and ive also got some yellow labs (no barring great quality f2 parents). have you any photos of your setup id love to see it!

thanks for the list. its not a definate that im going for it. ive been thinking about all shrimp, but ive no experience what so ever with live plants, although i have done my fair share of reading about them!.. id be on a budget of £170 at the minute.. anyone think up of something else?

what about stock? would you consider posting any depending on what there is..?

shell dweller tank is going soon.. -_-

Considering selling up my shell dweller tank due to space and time maintaining it... but i wouldnt mind going with something smaller. im considering a fluval edge, but its bothering me what to put in it! our water around her is reasonibly hard and a ph of 7.2, obviously being a small tank i...

Agree with Ad on that one :fun:

i think what your trying to say is they need a bigger footprint rather than hieght?

i think shrimp tanks look nice, matter of opinion though.. :rolleyes:

its quite tempting, maybe not legal though to remove fish from the wild? but what if i plan on returning them in the future? :unsure:

beauties :good: good luck with the sale..

if you used the rio 125 you could get away with adding some other tanganyikans?; crypts,calvus?

Sorry everybody but all the photos i had posted before are coming up saying they had been moved or deleted so hopefully that doesnt happen again any way here is my juwel rekord 70 Tank: Juwel Rekord 70 (64 litres) Filtration: Fluval 204 (With 205 Pipework,taps,etc...) Lighting: 1x 15w juwel...

Heres the story... :lol: Im considering either downsizing or getting rid of my lamprologus ocellatus... if i get rid of them i had a plan in mind, a 2 minute walk from where i live there it a stream full of life.shrimps,sticklebacks,minnows the list goes on, my real question is.. is it possible...

After a fluval 405 with all pipework and media if possible.. tell me what you've got.. also after the following mbuna,would need posted: Pseudotropheus elongatus "Chewere" Pseudotropheus acei Melonachromis maingano Cynotilapia afra "Jalo Reef" Labeotropheus trewavasse Pseudotropheus kingsizei...

thats why i said 'id also like to put my word in'

ace if you where to split id also like to put my word in for the 2 tetratec ex1200's if thats ok? i would need them posted tho thats the thing..

i ordered off that seller... i recieved 48 shells instead of 36... you might just get lucky like me :rolleyes:

being from a lake they won't like too much flow, although saying that a bit of flow wouldnt do too much harm.. just prevent dead spots from forming around the tank i guess. whats the perimeters of the tap water where you are?

in that case i might just paint the back again with blackboard paint :hey:

i dont have one of these filters, ive seen people elsewhere cutting some of the impeller blades off but not with this kind of filter.. may be worth looking into.

a pair or trio (1m 2f) should do well in a 10 gallon tank.. ocellatus are very agressive and need a fair bit of territory compared to multis..

ohhhh thanks! :drool: what would the disadvantages be? the fact that the algae is hard to get off them?

il look into getting it possibly :hey: when are the updated photos coming :hyper:

Looks great :drool: ! seen you had a post on another thread about not being sure these were multi's, by the looks of them id be about 99% sure they are, similis tend to be alot more elongated with more bars... i have a rekord 70 myself with a trio of lamprologus ocellatus gold which il be...

would it be ok? :unsure:
