Ben Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Looking good Bruce. The foai are going to love it. Can't wait for some pictures of them over their pits. You will need more sand once they start pitting as they will take everything out of the middle of the tank, then off the other males and then they will start jaw locking and shredding each others fins etc etc As for the cycling comments, I thought you were getting a ladder so you could have a little "wee" in your tank?

Bruce Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thanks Ben! They will love it but I only plan to have 2 males and a lot of females so hopefully aggression shouldn't be to high. Yeah....maybe next tank Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarmanalpha Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 As for the cycling comments, I thought you were getting a ladder so you could have a little "wee" in your tank? No need for a ladder, he can just "pee" straight into the sump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Nothing has really happened but the fish going in. I tried to take some pictures last weekend but nothing came out.

FlashieFront Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 looks better than b4. but if ur not happy with it keep on trying. I just cant wait until the tank has all the fish in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Most of the fish are in there now, but it's still too empty. I will probably just keep adding fish as time goes along. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tension 03 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Tanks looking great Bruce and the fish too. Nice and clear water, the fish must be loving it. Great job all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serkan Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The tank does look a little empty. It's probably because it's hard to spot the fish which are of a similar colour to their environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Looking good Bruce, and with so many different nooks and crannies and different types of fish you could just sit there for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle34 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 hey bruce, working in a glavanizing plant, didnt you end up getting it galvanized first before painting, gives you and extra 5% in strength as well as a very long duralbilty over paint. no rust in years to come. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 I painted it with rust proof paint if that's what you mean? I am planning to get some boops as a replacement to the foai which I mysteriously lost large numbers of. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Eatoff Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Bruce your tank is freaking awesome. I love that you threw in some multies! I like your rock-work before you changed it this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzzy Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The tank does look a little empty. I would say thats because you are looking at a 10ft area through a 6inch photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
