The grey is just paint and the marble effect is a sticky plastic film

Cheers guys =)   The tank and stand is the windsor 66 180L by Aqua one got it second hand for £50, only thing is it was used to keep Lizards so the glass is scratched up and I have to put the light at a certain angle so the scratches don't show up.   Looked like this when i bought it:

We have redecorated the living room and the tank didn't look right being light and dark wood effect.....£6 later and it looks like a brand new tank!

I have a 1000L pond and am having real trouble with Green water but only have a fountain pump with a small filter block but it says its up to a 1500L pond...Can't quite afford a real filter yet but want to get a filter going...   My Idea is a plastic storage box with sponge filters in and using...

Cheers guys/Gals  They're still not doing too much, bit of a shock going from a nice room temp tank to a cold dark pond....hopefully they will explore more when it warms up a bit out there.

Is the mark on the inside or outside of the tank?

Moved my Koi/goldfish from their 200L tank into a 1000L pond last week....Had them in a bucket floating around the pond while adding water for about 4hrs, they seem to be sitting around the bottom not doing much. Not eating the flakes im putting in, Even my biggest koi is only 4" and he is...

They are settling for the night, Fish loose their colour when they rest (less colour, less the predators will see them) kinda like going to sleep for them.

I love looking at the Figure 8 puffers at the fish shops, the way they swim is mesmerizing, was looking at setting up a bumblebee goby tank many years ago but never really found  some nice ones at the LFS.

Looks amazing! Wish I had the skills/patents to build something like this  

They are in the pond now, Had them in a bucket floating around for about 4hrs while adding the water slowly, Still think they are in a bit of shock as the water was pretty cold.

I have 2 externals and they are both quiet. I find my internals to be noisier as the suckers loose grip and end up vibrating on the glass/rocks.   Not really had any leaks but just need to make sure the pipes are tight/secure.

Only 1000L at the moment, looking at building a frame around the hole and raising it another 60cm so its 2000L then adding filters and waterfall:   Link to my build: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/431038-moved-house-onto-bigger-things/

Cracking Tank, Love the design 

Cheers :) The red and white ones going to a new home as it won't suit the pond.   That's a Weather loach got 2 of them in there, looking to add fine Gravel to the pond for them to sift through. They come to the surface and suck the flakes up :D They are always pacing up and down the tank racing...

Looks Good =)

  Oh and my 3day old Guppy Fry:

Thanks for the reply BerryAttack,   I'm thinking of merging the tall ones together on a acrylic I bought years ago, bending it to the shape of the tank and drilling holes and sealing the stalks into it.it will be thin but should be enough to hide the powerhead and pipes. the new plants I bought...

I have a Corner tank and Currently it has 3 big bunches of tall plants in the middle. I want to have a change when I switch to tropical:   Bought these to go in when I change over:   My issue is that they arn't very tall and my tank will look bare at the top.   Any ideas on how to fill in the...

Like the path in the middle, looks good.

Love the tank and he is an awesome color!

Unless you can catch them and put them in a separate section (breeding trap) they will more than likely be eaten.   Female livebearers can get pregnant at the fish shop and have a couple of batches from just one 'encounter' from a male....

Cleaning the filter will have killed nearly if not all of the bacteria in it....I would raise the water changes to 50% and add an airstone if possible.

I don't see much wrong with him, quite a nice example of a CT   Sometimes when they Flare they get marks on the gill plates...Try and get him to flare at you with a mirror and see how big his 'beard' is.   Was a sod to get a photo of it but here's mine 'Flaring':

Tank looks amazing! love Eragon's coloration 

Tanks looking great =)    Oh and Happy Birthday! 

Nice looking tank :) I love my corner one.   That's alot of plants (I would never finish planting them as I always want to move them again lol) but should look nice when done.   Just a quicky of mine:   I like having the focal point at the center.

Raise the water level up to cover it......

I have an old lighting unit from my old setup but it was for a 40W 48" tube. My current tank is a corner tank will only fit a 24" tube and that's only 20w... Will my unit overpower it? Currently using an energy saving 40W household bulb but want to change to highlight the fish better. 

Been a While..I'm entering Walter my Dragon Beta: Not very clear he's to the left:

Do you have a Link to that Website TwoTankAmin, would be quite useful.   I use a Sony A380 with an 18-55mm lens and a flashgun.....well soon as I sort a new charger out.

He's called Walter from the TV show 'Fringe' 

Got my small tank setup while I sort the pond for my others in the 200L.   Love the colouring on him:

Pond is nearly done, just waiting for some plants and my solar fountain....also I plan to have weather loaches and want to put some gravel in there...Do I get black/dark gravel to show the fish up more of natural light brown gravel...

Moved house 2 months ago and the new garden is huge, managed to persuade the wife into letting get a pond =). Bought a preformed one off Ebay 6x4ft 300L and was happy untill I had dug the hole and placed it in....Filled it up and the next day the water level had dropped 5 inches as there was a...

I've got 4 cats and the most they do is look at the fish, they've never tried to get into the tank.  

This is Stumpy, she was from a litter of 4 kittens and was the only one we kept.   She's called Stumpy because when she was born the tip of her tail had no skin on it, just exposed bone, took her to the vet and they had never seen anything like this before. on the 2nd week it dropped off and...
