G'day everyone,
Just worked out how to put my pics up, its a 4footer with home made cabinet.
Any feedback or comments would be good.
And yes, the tank is a little dirty! (poo machine plecs)
Cheers, Global

Hey Poncho,
I have 3x Black Pearl Calvus, (breeding pair male around 7cm, female at 4.5cm and subdominant male at 6.5cm).
1x female lulupi around 7.5cm, 2x Leptosoma Jumbo Mpimbwe around 8cm, 2x Xenotolapia Melonogeneys around 7cm and 2x 17cm Gold Spot Plecs.
This is my only tank up and running, I have another 7 tanks and 3x 1000lt tubs sitting dormant at the moment.

Nice fish!

Good thing you have other tanks though as you might need to remove the lepto's and xeno's to one set up with more open water and sandy areas to get the best out of them. Not exactly sure of the xeno's but the lepto's don't tolerate a lot of aggression and if the calvus decide to breed you might have issues.

Nice job on the cabinet too!!!

Thanks Leevers,
All home made my own design, the inside bracing and frame is double if not more times bigger than the ones you find at some LFS, I just build them strong, for peace of mind i sopose, and there full grain wood non of these mdf veneer cabinets!
I gave it a tall/high hood on it to house a metal halide I have in there!
I know everyones gona say over kill, but there gona say that when they find out i have a chiller hooked upto, no problems for me over summer!
