Matthew_ Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks for all the comments.I do have some black laminate that i will try out on the door side of the tank i am just trailing this set up ATM see how it goes, i do like the depth black background gives but i also like seeing from every angle.The aquascaping sorta just worked it self out, i had to split the main rock because it was just too big to fit in the tank and i think it worked out for the best as there is now i crack they can get through as with the rest they are supporting the main rocks and the other side is a 3d back ground i had for a 3ft tank and decided to lay it down like a rock shelf.ATM im going to let these fish mature a bit and see how the combination of Mbuna and Haps go. -there are currently 28 fish in the tank-. Should i add more ? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firthy13 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Nice looking tank! Have you found that your water is discolouring quickly? The reason why I ask is those rocks you are using contain a lot of iron, hence their rusty red color. Some people have no issues using rocks like these. Others are not so lucky.

firthy13 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Is that the new fluval Fx6? How do you find It? I'm considering upgrading at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_ Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah iv been using these types of rock for the last 10 years and never had problems with discolouration but iv always used a carbon product so that could be clearing it up. And yes it is the fx6 iv only had it running for the 2 months and it's really quiet and super easy to set up and user friendly . It also has a drain port which iv plumb into a rain water tank which I thought was handy. Heaps of room inside for product. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Love the rock setup! The best thing is watching the juvies grow up and change colour and start to take territories I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_ Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Its happening now with one of the Membe deep changing into a man, really starting to make him self noticed. I think the Demasoni will have something to say in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
