Black background?

Black background?

silicone removed 2mins job..

well im thinking just black it seems to bounce the light off and help you to focus on whats there, like in my other tank
what you think ?

 

[minnnt]

Yep, definately. Paint it whilst it's empty

 

[Spurry]

Yes lol, the tank is where it's going, don't no if you noticed but it's on the stand
The wrong way so I can paint it..

 

[minnnt]

Yeah i did notice. lol.

 

[Spurry]

Is this ok for the rocks to sit on

[minnnt]

Yeah, but if you're using a 25kg bag of sand then i wouldn't bother

 

[Spurry]

Will have to ring around again to see who has black sub in
One near me does unipac 12.5kg bags BUT there £25 robbing git lol
Every where ells is 12/15 pound

Not sure if I'm going black gray or a mix
Then the rock lol
Should get water in tank tomorrow and test run the filter in tank
I tested filter in the sink and bath today and all runs ok

Nice mate. If you did fancy a road trip down to me then i would be willing to swap some sponges over with you so you have some cycled media.

do you have the same filter ?
will i have to buy the replacement for you ?

that would be great thank you
it maybe worth it and cheaper than me buying the rock, what bit of nots are you in ? so i now how much it would cost me to get there

I have 2 1200's. I would just give you my sponges and I will have yours. Straight swap then and no messing.

Ok
How long do the sponges last I downloaded the PDF instruction and they say
To renew then every 6 months the ones I have are probably older
Or is that just ways to make you buy more ?

 

[Spurry]

60mile so £15 diesel
Do you have enough rock to scape the tank ?

Not sure what I could give you in return

 

[minnnt]

Breeding pair of pelvicachromis?

Don't want anything for it mate.

The "replace the media every 6 months" is just a marketing ploy. As long as the sponges aren't dropping to bits I am happy to do a straight swap with you.

 

[Spurry]

If I get more fry and they don't get munched up by the corys you are welcome to a pair

Had the filter apart and they look like they do when you buy then, I thought it would be a ploy
How much rock you got
