Sorry guys, I had every intention of doing a build with pics and videos...but I had some blips with phones etc, so Ive got the final product only. The tank is three weeks old and fully cycled as of yesterday, so its D day for fish today. 12 gallon to 80 gallon is going to be fun for them....I...

So as some of you may know, im going to be running a freshwater sump on a Waterbox Marine X 110.4 tank. Im opening up the floor to recommendations for 1. Sump layout - The Waterbox has twin 4" filter socks at first contact, which I am removing for media cups. My idea is to have bio media in...

Check out MD Fish Tanks on Youtube. The guy is a genius with scapes. He also has some really good tips and tricks on running heavily planted, non C02 scapes and also has plenty of vids on smaller setups like yours

So little update, still no tank. Mid-end April now...All this spare time keeps making me buy more stuff haha. Equipment list is as follows Sicce Syncra SDC 6.0 EcoTech VorTech MP40 (brought a MP10 and then changed from 10mm to 12mm glass thickness) Tunze 3155 ATO 2 x 300w ProTemp S heaters...

DONE.....

So....im still waiting on my Waterbox. December order date, not due now to April!! Its driving me bonkers and I nearly pulled the plug on the order.... Having weeks to mull over my current setup and how to maximise my tank + budget, I started looking into rimless reef tanks, as many people have...

What I will say is he will only use 15mm low iron glass. Waterbox seem to get away with 10mm glass, which i find a little strange that they get the strength, as ND told me nothing less than 15mm can take the stress of rimless? But clearly Waterbox manage it. Also to have the custom weir made...

I went to ND and they wanted nearly 2k for what I wanted. And as much as I would love to spend that, my other half was less than enthusiastic me spending a £1000 just on a tank....she is unaware ive done another £500+ on pump, powerhead, heaters and scape lol....

With all this spare time ive already done a 'new' scape lol

Hi Byron, I did wonder where you were lol So params are 0a 0n 20n PH is around 7.5 (with intro of RO) So currently I do a 50/50 tap to RO to soften the GH, which was at 25, but now site between 9-10 I intend to do same with big tank, allow me to reach some sort of happy meduim with habrosus...

Glowlight danios look interesting, its just getting them. I have to rely on Maidenhead aquatics or pets @ home (UK)

I also love how no one guppy is the same...

Its the colour and behaviour i like with guppies, in my experience they are the lively fish ive had. But unless I know the breeder, I would worry with fancy tails as they seem to have the hardness taken away with all the cross breeding. That said, I would possibly try again in a bigger environment

Well i have the endlers, and my experience with fancy tails has not been great.

This is driving me mad lol What I want is a colourful, mid-dwelling fish that isnt orange and looks like a guppy 🤣

The biggest fish I would be keeping is no larger than 2inchs, so I dont think they will be scaring anyone lol Does anyone know if Zebra Danio's will be happy in 75-77 degree water? I like them, always have, but know they like the colder side of 70s

Easily available? Dont think ive ever seen them in my LFS. And are they hardy?

Has anyone had any experience with Celestial Pearl Danio

I can sit and watch my fish for hours, so the more I have the happier I will be, but obviously not at the cost of poor conditions for the fish. This will be a 50us gallon, so 200 litres As I said previous, I currently have 18 fish in my 12 gallon, so think even tripling this number would be...

I will only be keeping male endlers. What about 10 x neons and 10 x Rasboras? Is there any other options for mid-tank that are around 1.5inchs big?

Right im sacking off the barbs, I thought cherrys were peaceful but lots of reports of potential fin nipping, so ill go with Harlequin Rasbora 10 x Endlers 12 x Habrosus 12 x Neons 12 x Rasboras 10 x shrimp Does this seem like a better stocking list?

Thanks @ember04 , that was helpful information I already have endlers and neons, so they would have to stay, boosting the both there numbers is a given in this case. So which of the two mid-dwelling Barbs or Rasbora would work better with shrimp? I was thinking I dont need to double up on...

Ok, so rather than everyone telling me what not to do, why dont people advise what they think for stock and what fish to keep?I agree it seems to much, I just used it as a quide. I wouldnt put 30 shrimp in, but you have got to think they will grow in number quickly. A lot of videos I have...

So measuring the inside of the actual tank only gives me 191L as opposed to advertised 249L. O well, still happy with what AqAdvisor have quoted @ 80% stock level

Ok, based on your info above I think I will remove otos from my list. Thanks for the info on Aqadvisor, I will check that out as I was hoping to include cherry barbs originally but dropped them due to high inch per gallon I was getting. Someone earlier asked me about pump. I will be running a...

This will be the scape, minus the plants. Im going simple with Java's

Ok cool, i may not even have a need for them as new tank location should provide no direct sunlight. I intend to have more plants which should starve out what algae needs. That said, i wont know until a couple months down the line. I think endlers have quite a wide GH range GH value: approx...
