good point, i need to go back to return a 25ltr bottle/containe so will ask at the same time.
cheers

 

[chr15_8]

atc 800 is here. will be wiring it up later on. Alot bigger than i thought it would be.

 

[Anguilla82]

yeah they are pretty big, but peace of mind is a great thing to have.
what are you rigging up to it for cooling?

 

[chr15_8]

it will just be a fan or 2.

I had a heater get stuck a few months ago so at least this shouldnt.

That happened to me when i was in the land of tropicals - killed everything, including my lovely queen arabesque

Not the Queen Arabesque.

I have to say, they are the only fish mum is not having, I have a beautiful pair of them. The 20g that used to be the Nano is to be their new home, just for them. If I can get them breeding, Princess Coral could have one.

luckly it was in my cichlid tank and they like it abit warmer than most fish. luckly it was only a 100w in a 180 litre or so tank so would take a while to get up to the temp.

 

[chr15_8]

Finished wiring and fixing the atc800 up. All i need to get now is the fan which i will probably get tomorrow.

Its reading 28.3 at the moment. Am i right in thinking the tank should be around 25 degrees?

few pictures as someones bound to ask

EDIT
PLEASE DONT COMMENT ON HOW THE GREEN PIPES ARE CONNECTED/HELD ON. IT WILL BE GETTING CHANGED WHEN I GET THE CLAMPS BUT IT MADE ME FEEL BETTER AT THE TIME LOL

What you fish you putting in?

 

[chr15_8]

not 100% sure yet.

im thinking along the

2x clown fish
1x firefish
1x Mandarin (once the system matures)

If im able i would like another fish but that would only be if i was to come across one i really like

I reckon you would get away with another one.

Why nt look into culturing pods now? then you can get the manadarin a bit early and you will always have enough for it to snack on. Get it up and running for a couple of months and away ay go.

im going away in 1 1/2 weeks time for 2 weeks. Don't they need feeding regularly? im going to build a tank/container like tina has so need to order that up aswell.

i can't see why o couldnt get away with another fish tbh as the system is quite big. as long as the fish get on and are compatible.

 

[ben1987]

Yes they do, do it when your back
