New Tank Setup

[benzonar]

Well due to a move recently I decided to strip my tank and start again. Finally after having little movement with my fishless cycling I had some Tetra Safestart sent over from Germany and hey presto within two days my tank was converting 6ppm ammonia within 24hrs with no Nitrites.

Some of the inhabitants didn't want to come out for pics tonight but the current occupants are.

1 x L128 blue spot Hemiancistrus (no pics yet)
A sexed pair of Apistogramma Agassizi Double red (no pics yet)
5 x Cory Gold Flash
5 x Otos
14 x Cardinals

Tank is a Rio 180

Anyway here are the pics

You'll have to excuse the big lump of Tufa rock, just need to keep the Ph at 7 until I want the Apistos to breed (although they have already been showing to each other already).

Very nice. I like the darker wood/plant look and the bright colors of the cardinals.

That is a pretty tank. But I think that some rainbows would look great in their.

Thanks for all the kind comments, no Rainbows though as trying to keep the fish to strictly S. American, with a Venezuelan slant.

My girlfriend managed to take some pics of the L128, I know it looks a bit green in the pics but he is definitely a Blue Phantom. Its the yellow tannic water that makes him look that way.
