2ft custom tank coming back online

[alasse]

Had the stand delivered today....had it knocked up cheap, so it is more servicable than display lol.....will try to give it a paint tomorrow.


The tank itself will need a good clean, its been sitting in the shed for nearly 3 yrs, so is dusty at the very least lol. I will have to give it a test fill to see how the DIY background stood up over that time, and also the seals.


The canister that runs on this tank will have all the seals replaced, i'll be taking the media out of the canister that is running on the 2.6ft and putting in this canister. That way the fish can go straight into the tank once its scaped and running.


A photo of the tank when it was last running (naturally there are no plants in it presently lol)

The tank is as clear as.....it doesnt look that way in the pic i just took lol Sorry for the horrid pic, but i took it in daylight, other tanks have lights on as well, but you get the general gist of how it looks. (will get a better pic tonight)

Wow! Now I want to buy some more tiger barbs. Yours look so happy.

I missed out on some long finned ones that a local store had (Just beautiful fish! I had never seen long finned ones before)....I didn't have room for them. My featherfin catfish slashed another one of mine (I think an accident this time). The wound was too deep and I couldn't save it (boo-hoo). I "bio-bandaged" it for several weeks... so now I do have room for at least one more tiger barb.

I love your Sword plants. When I had them, mine grew the long dagger-shaped leaves as well. I wonder if it has something to do with lighting...
