Trigon 350 Set Up

[star4]

There is nothing like setting up a new tank, no doubt its going to look absolutely stunning when finished, your tanks always do. I would offer to come and give you a hand but I have badly damaged my wrist and cant move it.

 

[minxfishy]

star4, what did you do to it? I hazard a guess it had something to do with all the tank moves and fish change arounds that have been taking place? Hope it heals soon

 

[star4]

Not fish related injury, but it has put back the changes for a few days. I took my elderly dog (the black one) out with the German shepherd, she only walks up the road and back and we were attacked by a rottie, my GSD fort off the rotty but I was holding the lead and damaged my wrist.

 

[minxfishy]

Hope the dogs are ok?

 

[star4]

Elderly dog was a big shook up, the rotty knocked her over, Kes (the gsd) is fine, I didnt realise just how powerful she was, I felt my hand almost seperate from my wrist as she was fighting off the rotty. I had a thought for your stocking, what about trying convicts, you said you hadnt kept them before.

Finished, scaped and ready for fish

Not sure what else to put in it, will probably have a move around once the fish are in.

Minx, what substrate do you use? And what kind of wood is that?

 

[minxfishy]

The substrate is black limpopo sand (from Aqua Essentials) and the wood is mopani and bogwood

You just couldn't help yourself could you. Looks cracking as it is. I bet in the next piccy's there will be fish. Do you want me to duff up that delivery guy for you, I have my own steel toecaps.

It was already full of water, I just leaned over to put the plants/wood in , it was the washing the sand and adding it on Sunday that totally wiped my back out.

No violence towards the delivery guy needed, its my own stupid fault, I know I shouldnt have tried to lift it, but Im a stubborn madam

my baby cutteri cichlids will be ready in about 6 - 8 weeks if you wanted to try something different!! lol

 

[star4]

[minxfishy]

Looking good Minx, I like how simple it looks

I like the look of the Cutteri, I hadn't seen them before. Pity they don't get a bit bigger.
