I am setting up a new 6x2x2 in the new year and want to get some members suggestions on:

a) possible hardware and
what to stock.

Quality equipment and interesting fish. Budget isn't a major consideration.

I am moving away from African's for a while and want to know what members would do with a new setup. Looking forward to reading suggested hardware and fish stocking suggestions.

Due to continuous working away from home I have made the decision to sell my Breeding setup.
Ready made set up complete with everything needed to breed a wide variety of fish. 34 aquariums ranging from 2ft up to 48x24x20. Pumps, , filters, heaters, lights and stands. Also comes complete with a range of smaller fish related equipment such as air pumps, power heads, 2x eheim 2711s This setup has been awesome for me over the last few years. Get yourself a truck and head up the new Indian Ocean Drive to Geraldton and grab a bargain.

Also comes complete with a range of smaller fish related equipment such as air pumps, power heads, 2x eheim 2711s This setup has been awesome for me over the last few years.

Here is a link to see the setup on youtube:

There is no better feeling than growing up a species of cichlid, keeping it for years, to never have it spawn.....

after trying countless different changes, such as new tank, 50%, 75% water changes, increased heating, no water changes, live food, dry food, no food, lights, no lights, rocks, pots, more rocks, caves, gravel, no gravel, species only, pair only, mixed community.......

to be working away from home for the last four months and having to put fish from 16 Aquariums into 8 2ft cubes, the wonderful wife feeding the fish, being at home only one weekend a fortnight to do water changes....

to look into a tank today and see among all the other fish a pair of cylindricus guarding a rock with a massive school of tiny fry..... AWESOME!!!!
