Mbuna Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi all, this is a project i have been working on for a while now, i got the tank - 6x2x2 off a mate, it wasnt in the best condition so i had to cut all the silecon out and re seal, paint the back black, then drill it and plumb it to a sump which i made from a 3x2x18" tank that fits snug underneath. It is run by a 4500lph pump through 40mm bulkheads.At the moment it's housing a young colony of cyp. utinta, some julidochromis regani sambia and 4 black occies. will be adding some Cyathopharynx foai shortly.cheers for lookingHarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwah Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 absolutely love what you've done with the rockscape.. very amano like!cant wait to see it fully stockedwell done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbuna Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 thanks guys, the rock is actually from a small beach nearby. i have always wanted to do an aquascape with it ever since i saw it but havnt had a chance till now. I like the fact that it is all uniform which makes it easier to form natural looking reefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowie Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Very nice rock structureThis tank will be a cracker when the fish get a bit biggerCheers rowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbuna Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 thanks, might have to move the big rock on the right and replace it with some smaller ones when the foai's start building pits to free up some floor space. Got ten Cya.furcifer'kabogo' today, they fill the tank out nicely. i tried to get some pics but they didnt turn out too flash so i'll give it another go in the next couple of days.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbuna Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 A few very average pics, but you get the idea. The furcifer have settled in well (thanks Grant!) 2 of the 6 julies have paired up so i will remove the rest...a couple of black occies hanging out in the rockwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
