Just an update on the tank, running perfectly now, ive added a second wavemaker for more flow, a second twin t5 unit with white/pink tubes and another 45kg of rock. Starting to algae up nicely and the fish are happy and healthy :)

Just a full tank shot, couple of fry cruising around now, when I moved the rest of the fish there were 7 fry from this lot, about average for tropheus :)

Just a couple of pics from tonight's feed, the tanks well established and actually went through a mini cycle with the addition of the aquaponics above :) all settled now :)
