Ben Eatoff Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Nice tanks mate! What sort of rocks are they in the 6 footer? The really rounded ones? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_frontosa Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Nice setup mate look very nice and the color on your fish looks awesome Ben I think those round rocks are river stones in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0oks Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Nice setup you got. What air pump are using to filter those tanks? Ben those rocks just look like River stones (lucky stones) I've seen them at the landsape supplier in Terry Hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Eatoff Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Sweet Action. Yeah i'd seen them up there @ terry hills too, just wasn't positive on it! Very nice tanks (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca888 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Love your fish, your rostratus especially, puts mine to shame! Kyle do you mind posting up some water parameters like PH, GH, KH and temp to see if I could be doing something wrong. Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle34 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks all, The rocks in the 6ft were bought from a landscape supplier, they are not actually called a river rock, and sorry i dont know the name, but bigfella was the one who put me onto them, they look awsome and the picture dosnt do it any justice, They come in many different sizes, becareful when putting them in as the bigger ones really have some weight in them. The air pump i got i bought of ebay brand new, I think most retailers sell them for around $199 it produces 120lpm, cant tell you the name as im not sure of it, but will find out and post up the details. As for the fake rock, sorry not selling it, there is another piece that goes with it, and havnt seen sizes like this stuff for a while. Looks really good when all together. Have just ordered some silk plants to add in there to add a bit of colour will take some more shots when im done. As for the water chemistry, i dont really bother with it to much, I maintain the ph between 7.5 to around 8, I use seachem buffer and salts, and add a little bit of bio boost in everytime i do a water change. I try to maintain my tank temps around the 26-29 mark. Have heard alot of people talk about doing different things to there water with hardness, but i dont think its really to much of a concern, mine seem to breed no probs, still waiting for some action from the female venustus though. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
