Took A Hacksaw To The Skulls :)

[nurglespuss]

OK still not got background sorted yet, and the petsathome near me has no filter wool, so still misty, but, I do now have a venturi

Thanks guys took your advice and moved heater, and raised powerhead

I 'might' get some large lieces of wood painted to go behind the tank, rather than paint the glass?... will take a look and see. ... (so wood would be against wall and not tank)

Also added these little chaps today

(C. triliniatus) and 3 tiny baby white clouds...

No more fish til after christmas! ;p

Hi all well, the novelty of the 4 skulls was wearing, plus they were obstructing a little too much water flow.

So I fished everything out (MAN do my fish hate me, again!) ;p

Cut three of the skulls at angles (surprisingly easy resing to cut, but hell of a lot of dust, had to wash them well!)

Picked up a few fake stone ornaments formt he petsathome 3 for 2 deal, and voila!

I also moved the light to a more central position etc.

I'm still not happy with the powerhead, its not 'lifting' sand debris as I would like...

But much happier now! and think its more swimming room for the whiteclouds, and lower down hidey holes for the catfish

let me know what you think

Below is a former pic:

Sort a background you lazy git and move than heater upright next to the intake tube, its a small tank with lots of circulation, you dont have to position it for optimal effect! gogogo!

Ah force of habit with heater placement! ;p he he, I'll pop it in the corner ;p

I'm torn between back grounds:

Black (I like black, usually have black), white/blue/grey - keep the light and bright tank theme...

What do you guys reckon?
