Ged Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The tank has certainly progressed since the tank started.The N. leleupi are a great addition to the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GERMAN Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 As always once you've set up your tank there's always things you would of done differently if I had my time again..... a background being one on the main ones! I didn't really think about when setting up the tank, also my cost blew out a little at the time to!I would imagine most of you guys have probably seen this guys set up but its what sparked me to get another tank and some of my ideas also! If you haven't enjoy!>>>>>>>>http://www.fmueller.com/home/aquaristic/240g/fish/frontosa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloory Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yes they are one of the more common fronts in Aus but still a very nice fish and yours look awesome! Have you thought about trying to roll some paint on the back of your tank? Not sure how much room you have back there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GERMAN Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 hey sloory, yes I had thought about painting the back of the tank, don't have a hole heap of room behind the tank but could squeeze a small roller behind it I reckon!here's my filter>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
