Nice, i like that. Have you contacted them about the delivery? If you had to pay more money for that service then i would be asking questions.

The scape is really coming along now. For some reason i would have had it on the other side though... lol.

cheers mate. no havent bothered complaining it was probably my fault for ordering too late thursday but i wouldve thought if they didnt expect the plants to arrive in time they wouldnt have sent them till monday. hopefully they will survive but im expecting crypt melt anytime now 🙂 i think i may have planted them too close to the glass aswell but im scared to move them.

also didnt wash the flourite well enough (knew it would happen) and until i got the filter running i couldnt even see the back of the tank :lol:

😀 tell me about it i had to wait ages till they had them all in stock
 
As long as your happy them thats fine. I have found with mine that if i move them within the same tank they're fine... but if i swap them from tank to tank then thats when the melt starts. I would move them now to where you want them so they can get established once and for all. Less change of problems imo. 🙂
 
do crypts drastically change their leaf shape when submerged? My echinodorus morph into a radically different shape.

ive only ever grown wendtii green and bullosa and from my experience yes they change quite a bit in colour and shape. i think for now im gonna leave them where they are and see how it turns out, im still not feeling well and not really up to a rescape anyway.
 
added 3 ottos and a thai flying fox, will get more ottos soon. i assumed the flying fox would be exactly like a siamese algae eater except in looks but ive read a few things via google saying they can be quite aggressive when older, ill have to keep an eye on that. if he gets too aggressive he can live with my mbuna instead :lol:

great looking tank. Makes my vision 260 look like a relic.

thanks darren. It is very modern looking, although dust and dog hair is a problem 😡

That looks real nice and modern as mentioned above. I would love an open tank, but with 2 dogs I could see all the fish getting furball. Is it a real problem as always wondered how much dog hair and dust floats on the surface?

nah to be honest i rarely see one dog hair floating in the tank, i think dust if causing the surface of the water to turn milky/oily though. i think adding an air stone or co2 will help that.
 
Hi Creg,
crypts filling in nicely there, and great shot of the male gourami. :thumbup:
Cheerio,
Ady.

hello Ady

yes mate the crypts are growing well just wish the marsilea would carpet more quickly, and out of all the tropical fish ive ever owned the flame gourami is my favourite.

looking awesome. Is the light unit dimmable ?
Click to expand...

thanks, no its not dimmable. theres 4 tubes connected to 2 switches, im using only 2 tubes to keep the lighting low-ish.
 
looks like my red gourami is about to pass away

r.i.p big red 🙁
