last night tested my resilience...
realised why it leaked quite quickly. putting the primer in the wrong way, caused the seal to flex.
then i sorted it out, not sure if it water tight yet as the propeller was not working but it was 1am and i cleaned up.
i did spend 3 hrs aqua scaping and im relatively happy with the outcome..
ready to receive some plants now and work on that part.
let me know what you think so far.. i think the tank is coming along nice, just the filter is causing issues and slowing everything down!
opted for play sand as many reccomended it, looking at bolivian rams they love sand and its better for them, got some wood and plants in 1 1/2 for shelter so should provide adequate space, with a nice open element for viewing, i think this will work...
helping me clean the sand, to be honest this just let her join in and i used a seperate un opened bag
put two bags of this on 50% of the tank under sand... OMG dirty!
thank god for this pump, massive help emptying and filling the tank!
sand used...
as you can see right side will be plants as its a walk way wanted shelter wood is to the right as i wanted a swimming area to the left as i will view from the sofa, alfagrog is the pebbles you can see, just to break it up a bit.
let me know your thoughts, swimming area too big? move the wood?
