Foti Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 i like it keep the 4 ft light for some reason it makes it look more "nature like" if that makes any sense well you got my thorts i like it and dont stress on the lighting!!!! cant forget to mention the fish they look like there loving the decor / lighting aswell!!!

KIMO Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Love the combination of driftwood and the river stones.....great looking tank. Like the black b/g too. Foti makes a good point about the lighting. It looks good and creates a more natural feel. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloughlin2 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I agree, I've always loved the use of smaller lights on the larger display tanks. Plus the frontosas will prefer it that way rather then a full blown light. How have you found your pH to be? I'd imagine the driftwood would have some affect on it?

t0h0t4u Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 looks great can't wait till i upgrade! and kimo is right bout the river stones and driftwood gives it a nice natural look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbw Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 thanks for the comments everyone and to answer your question the driftwood has had no effect on the pH what so ever. It remains at around 8.5. I use coral in my sump and also the texas holey rocks helps with the buffering as well. cheers nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscacara Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Looks like a great setup, the more I see of other peopls 6 footers the more I'm inclined to go get one............must resist but getting harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
