Ok so im looking at getting two new tanks. One will be a 6x2x2 and the other a 4X2X2, both tanks will have a similar look cabinet and hood. At this stage it is early in the project and I have the stand and hood for the 6x2x2 but no tank yet.
Setups for both tanks will be as follows.

Tank 1.

6x2x2 Tank with cabinet and hood. ( Just need to source the tank)

Filtration: 2 Eheim 2217's Already have both these filters and are both up and running.

Stocking:

At this stage I have the following growing out in a 280L tank.

7x 7 Bar Kigoma Frontosa (3-5cm)
5x Leptosoms Utinta (3-4cm)
1x Alto Comp (3cm)
1 x Black Calvus (3cm)
2 x Julidochromis Regani (3-4cm)
3 x Julidochromis dickfieldi (3-4cm)
3x Common Bristlenose (3-4cm)
Also planning on adding some Lelupi at a later date.


Tank 2.

4x2x2 with the same look cabinet and hood.

Filtration: Eheim 2217. Already have this but not running yet

Stocking: Hopefully picking up a pair of Festae in the next fortnight and will add a large common bristlenose as cleanup.

Will add some pics over the weekend.
