Week 7: After all of my hard work I've finally finished the slate cave and installed it. There were a few adjustments that I had to make, including switching the top edge panel, but besides that it's the same. The fish love it and so do I! It's probably the best thing I've done so far with my 36 gal tank and I'm still planning on making a few more additions. Eventually, I plan on adding sand to the top layer to give it an even more natural look, as well as adding some driftwood. Now I'll have to turn my attention to getting a new tank lid due to the fact that my light fixture has broken and so has the front flap.
This proves to be the most expensive thing yet. I've looked all over the net and the lowest price I could find was $39. So I've also started thinking about getting a Versa-Top. They seem much more sleek and sturdier than the original lid, so I'll be trying to save up some cash for the $27 lid and then the light fixture which is even more expensive than that. If ayone has any recomendations to a good aquarium light fixture for a planted and large tank, please let me know.
So last but not least, Bill the Amazing has disappeared. It hurts me inside to say that he may have been eaten by Chris, my male gourami
. It was a bit surprising to find that after completly emptying the tank and checking the gravel that he was nowhere to be found. He couldn't have gotten out due to the fact that I sealed off any possible exit. So I guess I just learned that if I want to make additions to the livestock, it's best to find something too big for Chris to eat. Tear... I was really attatched to Bill... But anyways all is well in the aquarium and it's looking good. So here's my pic of the completely revamped tank:
Hope you like it!
