Looks brilliant. A testament to all the guys involved in the set up.

My only gripe is the amount and choice of fish.....😕

Im heading over to stockport tomorrow for some photos on my dslr.
Will upload tomorrow evening 🙂

I thought the same, and there really is ALOT of different fish.

There were some lovely Clown Loach, looking really healthy am a decent size. Also a lot of Silver Sharks, Rainbows, various Tetra in copious amounts, and quite a lot of Dwarf Cichlids too.

Like I've already said, it was the fish thy were attracting all the attention rather than the natural beauty of the plants.

Sorry I meant Gouramis, not Cichlids.

When you say sizeable clown loach, how sizeable? 4-5"? 7-8" and how many? I'd like to do something similar when i buy my clowns a new home and am curious how much damage they've done to the plants

 

[aliclarke86]

What?? Clown loaches?? Tell me more!!!


Sorry Andy 😀

Look on the very front in the last pic
No worries ali, I want to know more too

 

[aliclarke86]

I've not seen the tank in person so I have no point of reference!! It looks really small to me...... I don't live close at all so can't see myself getting out there

I'd say they were about 5" on average, as for how many and what damage they've done I couldn't tell you I'm afraid.

I think its doable but you need a large plant mass of tough plants and a small group of fish to minimize the damage. 6x2x2 should be considered a minimum tank for adult clowns too

It's looking good!

My wife just shared this pic that she took whilst at New Malden yesterday. You can really get a sense of just how massive this tank is with my 2 youngest standing in front of it

Good to see it does well.

These are from Stockport on sat.. Went to the abyss to try find some good aquascape wood but no success although this tank is a beauty

 

[Wallace]

Looks good, although very murky still?

Ye it was still a little cloudy! Kinda like when you disturb the substrate in your own tank, makes you wounder how private aquariums get them so clean

 

[Wallace]

It's been running almost 6 months now, New Malden is clean and clear as you would expect your tank in your lounge to be.

Surely something is amiss if after almost 6 months the tank is still cloudy?

Ive gotten a fair few shots I need to upload from this tank that I took today but agree after all this time the tank is still murky. It doesnt seem to have cleared from when I was last their and took photos which was a while ago. Such a shame too as you cant see the full scale of the display from any angle.
