Hey guys,
I've been off for quite a while, approx 8 months actually. Here's the brief story.
In the summer, I was far too busy, and had less and less time for my fish. I'm ashamed to say I didn't water change for over a month and the inevitable happened.......the tank crashed I lost everything, plants and fish.
So I stripped down the tank, cleaned it all up ready, but as I was so busy I decided against setting it up again as I didn't have enough time to dedicate to the regular maintenance required.
So here we are, 6 months down the line and I'm ready to go again!!
I've had to get a new filter pump as the old one wouldn't work, new bogwood and of course new plants.
The tank is currently cycling, and I should be getting my first few fish in around a weeks time.
For now, here's some pics from after I finished setting it up tonight and getting the aquascape just the way I wanted it.
Excuse the pic from camera phone, a proper digital SLR will be used for the real fish pics once the tank is complete B)
My prefered stock will be:
6-8 Neon Tetra
2-3 Panda Cories
2-3 Green Barbs
2 German/Dutch Rams
Many thanks for reading, I hope to become a more active member again now I've got the tank setup!!
