As above, rounded stuff isn't an issue, it's the sharp edges that cause them problems.

A week since the last update. Also got some angels, 2 breeding pairs from a friends tank shut down. They seem to have settled in well, it's been an itch I've wanted to scratch for a while now haha. We shall see! Only algea I have is on the rught hand side front of the tank, excess light...

New bulbs in. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Thanks! Yeah I was going for the more Natural look with different grades of pebbles, not quite sure what I want to do with the wood just yet as I haven't had the best of experiences with Moss. Maybe more buce.. I've been out of the game a few years so it's more a test on what works and what...

Evening me olds! Received a mammoth portion of plants from hoggie, it's what I was looking for, RED! Moved the heater (courtesy of John from Apfuk, told me off!) And got rid of the vallis, can't wait for the new bulbs now.. Will take a photo tomorrow evening when it's all cleared up. Cheers...

So day 15 I believe, got some new bulbs coming (these are 2 years old... Please don't hate me!photo of bulb combo) Also got. A nice batch of plants coming from hoggie, exciting times! The apistogrammas spawned after 7 days which was surprising.. I want to add another pair of centre of...

Where in Yorkshire are you? If you sketch up what you want your hanger to look like with measurements ect I'll see what I can do. I've moved to Cornwall now but me and my brother are welder/fabricator, he still lives in Sheffield and I'm sure if you wanted we could sort something out for you if...

Great read and a great build! Really like the scape, bet it looks great as a room divider. Matt. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Evening from cornwall all, So this tank has been setup instead of the ada 45f, mainly because the tank sale fell through so I sold all marine equipment instead and kept the tank. I love this tank, moreso now I took the sump, weir and pipework out then sealed up the bulkhead holes. Nice and...

Well you've certainly got me interested! What a great approach to see how/what plants reacted to being planted. Last photo looks brilliant and lush! Looking forward to the next update. Matt. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
