Built a bit more of the unit this weekend, just need to play with the hinges a bit more and run some sealant round the edges of the unit . Also had a trip to get some hardscape materials too . Sourced my co2 supply ( a friend who owns a pub will get me 6kg or 12kg bottles ) just need to buy the...

Yeah that’s a good shout , you’ve given me a fair bit to think about . I loved keeping rams but they are bottom huggers too.At least in my tank they always seemed to be . In my mind I’d like a nice Cory on the sand a schooling fish mid water ( fairly colourful to keep the wife and don happy )...

this is my inspiration, though I’m going to add a bed of crypts around the base of the Roots and some epiphytes to the branches higher up in the water . Smooth sand bed . I quite fancy a nice group of false bandit corys . Maybe a group of red phantoms or pencils is a good call I did have a...

Probably the worst way . Won a goldfish at a fair with my dad when I was about 9 . Had it in a plastic goldfish bowl . Then that escalated to a 2ft tank then a 4ft tank the goldfish acquired new tank mates and the rest is history
