Jazz's New 48" Tank

[Jazz_UK]

Hi,

It was delivered yesterday evening!! 48" x 20" x 22"

Just got some sand in it last night and then filled it up so that I could connect the filter.

Have been landscaping it today so more photos to follow

looks great m8. congratulations on the new tank and I really look forward to seeing the evolution into some thing fantastic. I sense a TOTM coming on... B)

Looks pretty big! I love the background of it!! What type of fish you going to stock it with or do you know yet?

 

[Jazz_UK]

shimanocono - I have some fish squeezed into a 2ft tank due to my last 4ft springing a leak (TWICE), they will get moved across when the water tests okay (although not all at once!).

4 Harliquins
2 Blue Gouramis
1 Golden Gourami (partner died in the tranfer to new tank),
1 Pearl Gourami (same issue as Golden - however I have reserved a male Pearl at LFS that is around 3.5"),
2 Pleco (possibly only 1 will be transferred)

To that I will be adding when funds allow
4 or so more Harliquins
3 Orange Tailed Blue Loaches
3 Clown Loaches
& some Conga Tetras
This list may however change!

very nice i will nominate you for tank of the month once you get the tank running

 

[Jazz_UK]

Jht - Thanks for the offer, but I guess you should wait until you see the final version to decide

But while you are waiting here is Stage 2, with some wood and plants in place.

Good Idea with the Gravel and Sand, Im thinking of doing the same. But how do you clean it?

 

[MamaPish]

very carefully

Hi,

I though I would post a photo of my final tank set-up, not much change since the original set-up.

The fish seem happy right now! The water quality is within spec, I think that this is due to using an already mature filter & lots of water from my other tank.

I would like to however replace some of the plastic plants with real ones over the next few months.
