My goldies have gone to a new home, they were outgrowing my tank....sooooooooooo

I've decided to take it back to a tropical community tank (mainly livebearers). I'm going with live plants this time around. I've changed substrate, to sand from gravel. Let me say cleaning sand takes forever *LOL*

I've only set it up today, so it still has to cycle. So at present it is stockless, no plants added as yet either. So its the bare basics, mainly wood and a couple of rocks so far.

Updated pics will come as the tank progresses

Today ~ 8th Sept 07

Is that the 200L? It looks huuuuuuuuuuuuuge. Your livebearers are going to be so happy there!

Alasse

Yep its 200 litres I'm certainly hoping they will be happy.

armadillo

Wow, lucky you. My biggest is 150L, and it feels quite cramped (6 mollies in there + 1 BN pleco)

The arrangement looks very nice, I can't wait to see it with plants.

I love your tank set up! Espcially the driftwood. Is the fish that I see on your background paper? Very nice job you did.. I love it!

Alasse

Thanx

The wood is stuff i've found at both work and home that i liked the shape of....much soaking/drying/soaking etc later (i've had them for years now)....and here it is

Yes the platys are on the background sheet

the tank already looks great, can't wait to see it when it's cycled and you start adding fish.

Alasse

Note: pic is stitched...thats why it has a bit darker line in the middle

i wouldn't really recommend stitching a tank - it might leak. seriously, it looks great!

Alasse

*LOL*...Thank you

I'm having a ball with this tank so far.....seriously debating changing my 2ft to live plants as well

Neil
