Hey Guys,

All teh planting is done.
All the Vallis arrived direct from the Plant farm in Thailand. Its is Perfect. I have added 2 Powerheads to create enough force to make the Vallis sway in the current.
All the Shrimp love the current they all rest on the tips of the stems and catch passing particles of food. Can actually watch the wood shrimp behaving naturally.
Managed to salvage all the river sand, and it looks great in there. I am not a fan of flat gravel so its all in mounds and truoughs and valleys with mixed size gravel and stones in it. More riverbed.
Lots of Twigs chucked in to provide natural river bed.

Dad is Fitting The Halides Today, to give full spectrum and intense Lighting.

The water is still a little cloudy but slowly clearing up.
The Flag Iris' are all flowering and look so cool.

Looking good will look awesome when it clears a little more, conciderd using suspended lighting to brighten it up a little?

 

[three-fingers]

Looking good, bet the shrimp love it. Do you have halides over it yet?

 

[GobyMaster]

Man I wish I could have a outside tropical pond!

It'd be so cool!

It looks great!

Wow.

If you see a crane in your back garden just ignore it... It will be me trying to steal your tank

Shrimp Love it. Being able to watch them zoom around is awseome. I really like the way the congregate on certain spots.

Thank You - the wife is a little calmer than she was the day it arrived.

No Worries, You can actually get one of those industrial cranes in the field behind the house.
A neighbour had one to move some heavy stuff a couple of years ago.

How are the fishes doing with the dwarf puffers? I'm thinking the fin nipping will not be a problem becuase of the size of the tank.

BTW I love the cories.

Hi
The Puffers are fine, There are around 20 and i have no problems with them.
They have made little groups and swim around exploring the tank ignoring the other fish.
They have so much to explore and all the snails to hunt and munch on.
They look so cute when they swim around in little groups.

Looks fantastic Gill!
I take it you didn't let on to the wife how much you spent...
Give me warning and I'll set aside 3 hours for you, I've never had to catch so many fish in one go and the practice does me good!
