Re: saintlys 60 x 30 x36 optiwhite

Saintly did good! 😀

Nice work mate, Not sure what the rules are regarding posting pics etc, But I reckon this could be a worthy entry for AGA! Not sure when they start taking entries but I got a feeling its late in the year Sept/Oct.
 
Re: saintlys 60 x 30 x36 optiwhite

hi pm,

yup the tanks from aqua essentials. quality too! i've opted for the vivipara purley because i grew it in my small arcadia setup, it grew like wildfire. i hope it takes off in this tank too 😀

planter my friend, im getting to like you even more with wonderfull comments like that 😀 seriously, ive got to keep the plants alive first :lol:
 
Re: saintlys 60 x 30 x36 optiwhite

I love the look, this is going to be a winner when its grown in, beautiful! what the stocking plan fish wise?

Re: saintlys 60 x 30 x36 optiwhite

seriously guys your too kind, but thanks anyway.

as for fish, well im not to sure to be honest. spmething small for sure. i dont know too much about fish. no doubt i'll see something that amano has used.

defo not cardinals, i reckon they would take away from the look. it needs something that would blend in. open to ideas really. 😀
 
Re: saintlys 60 x 30 x36 optiwhite

ive checked them out aaron, nice looking fish. a tad bulky for my liking. was thinking of something a bit sleaker maybe.
 
Re: saintlys 60 x 30 x36 optiwhite

cor there beautys. too nice.

i reckon something like, harlequin rasboras. small, slight colour. or harlequintetras.
 
Re: saintlys 60 x 30 x36 optiwhite

MA @ Crowland have some awesome small fish suited to this simple style of aquascape. You're spoilt for choice...
 
Re: saintlys 60 x 30 x36 optiwhite

i'll pay them a visit george. im swaying towards harlequin rasboras. nice looking fish.

the other thing. i can now see why these tanks are called "high clarity" simply awsome viewing.

Cool. Try to find Steve (manager) or Kevan ('deputy') and pass on my regards.

Yes, opti-white is something else. It's hard to explain without seeing it in person, especially alongside regular glass.

thanks james 😀 the only thing that makes it looks nice is a lot of home work and looking at amano setups, thats all. oh and a bit of help on plant choice from george 😉

The nagging pays off eventually... Their plants were poor before I became a regular. 😀

Tropica offer free training to LFS staff. More stores should take up the offer. Plants are becoming big business.
