the story so far....


4 happy black mollies and 1 little silver mollie thanks to malaga aquariums
6x2x2 thanks to cichlid hunter
and cabinet thanks to ford2


i have 1 x cannister filter, 1 x pond sponge filter and 1 internal...too much? naaaah could do with more....


play sand from bunnings 40 kgs of sand in there. thanks golden dase for suggesting this...pretty happy with the outcome..not bothered that there may be a lot of cleaning up to do.....the water very acidity at first, i had given it a good rinse too before putting it in... all good now...looking forward to seeing kuhli loaches or yoyos burying themselves in the sand....

sorry about the pics, feel free to pm me tips on how to take a good pic, im blaming it on the camera which is a 7mp pentax optio 750z
thanks

Looks good, can't wait until it's filled.

[golden_dase]

Looks great buddy, but where's the "furniture"?

[cichlid hunter]

Looking good mate, will be a lot better with some rocks or plants in there too.

[ford2]

looks great mate what are your plans for fish and furniture

[ozjayok]

not too sure yet...any suggestions?

im actually enjoying the mollies atm lol

i like the way they have so much room to swim around...
maybe just some kuhli loaches...some danios....yeah i know it's nothing flash!

was looking at putting in one of those crashed helicopters....

just after a low maintenance type look hehe

thanks

[ford2]

what about some some limestone with holes in it and some thin vallis, i have a few bits of limestone you can have

[BIG-PETE]

if you want low maintinance why not go a nice saratoga or an arowana
i have a saratoga a couple of plecos and a big gibby in my 6x2x2 looks great and doesnt need cleaning all the time
every one who comes to visit comments on the tank
here a vid of my tank its got a nice big tree stump in it now

[ford2]

you should take a vid of the tank now pete it looks a lot better now i think.

[ozjayok]

big pete what sort of filter do you use? great video btw...i like the gravel you have in your tank...i would also like to see a video on how your tank looks now ....

[BIG-PETE]

all i have for my filter is one of those really big sponges in the corrner with a big powerhead running it works awesome
only having a few fish doesnt make a big bio load
i have a mix of tahitian moon,eco complete and black sand i got from bunnings
will get some more video tonight for you mate

[gibbs]

Strange, i had that song in my head before i watched that video
