hoody Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hey lads.After not having a display tank for a while due to my last 6x2x2 dropping a seal. The tax man bought me a brand new one ?Only started cycling it today so still looks pretty murky. And im not finished with the scape doesn't fit in 100% yet. painted black background and slowly filled.and 90% of the finished tankHope the water stays on the right side of this tank. Now I can concentrate on some import peacocks. Cheers,Hoody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckmeister Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Great looking tank. Black backgrounds always make a simple tank look classy. Some nice colour on the boys too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoody Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 here is a short vid. the mbuna will slowly start to get moved on from now.feeling the need for some clean lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Stunning video. Love watching how some fish have clearly defined territories that they are willing to defend whilst others cruise around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoody Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Got 2 3ft led pet worx lights. For a cheap led they seem pretty powerful on first impressions. Definatly helped with a few colours. The last light was a 4ft on a 6ft tank so the edges are darker the tubes were never changed as I was always heading towards leds.Before.afterFew photos. (Still old lights though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckmeister Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah, thats a huge difference in light. Its nice to see all your fish in a nice tank ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Lighting is often overlooked when setting up a display tank. It is great to see the difference your new light setup has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
