THANKS BUDDY

i believe it wasnt letting me add pictures because it said i had to wait 7 days before i could post ....

in reference to the last photo i have a question...

i got 2 redish finned fish from carealot in newport news and i was under the impression that they were red tail acei...but after adding them to my aquarium they dont seem like them to me...

and my other question is also referring to the last photo... i have no idea what the greyish fish is kinda reminds me of a convict but im sure its not...

Have u thought about a plain blue background ?
In my opinion they are so much better looking than any else
It brings the colour of the fish out and the fish are a lot less skittish, it also enhances the rock formations

no i havent i just used the background that i use to have on the 50ish gallon tank i use to have set up a few years ago... im actually thinking about either making a rock background that goes in the tank or the 3D backgrounds that go inside the tank... still looking for fish to add to my tank to give it the look im goin for... i like blues and oranges together

Check my tank out in the show and tell section , it might help u decide
Unfortunately I don't know what fish are available to u over there so can't help with stocking

nice looking setup
post some picts when you change the saltwater background I like see the difference

yeah i like the 3d background you have but but they are entirely too expensive for my blood...i love ur tank setup tho if i had the resources i would have something similar maybe a little lighter in color...but u have nice color contrast

lmao...yea i remember when i had my old cichlids a few years ago the african would try to swim with the fish that are in the background...i guess that that kinda like fake date as they were always trying to breed...

yeah ill definately do that when i get the chance still trying to see how imma go about doing the DIY background... B y the way i built the tank stand myself

in my opinion 3D back rounds take up too much space in any

tank less then 24 inches wide. i would paint it black or blue..

what i did with my tank is that since i already had water in it, i

painted some poster board and taped it to the back of the tank.

This way i can change it when ever i want

I did the same thing with one of my tanks.

if you are good at drawing you can make your own specialized backround

I took some pictures with my cell fone so pics may not be all that great but here is an update of the background black film v.s. saltwater film

looking good.

THANKS... im debating on adding black to charcoal grey lava rock...

Tank is looking sweet!It will look good with any kind of rock!Yeah put some more rock in there!Great job!

Things are coming along nicely! I'd definitely add more rocks, and I know you're on the hunt for perfect ones. I think the fish feel more comfortable with plenty of rockwork.

Niiiice...;)

Thats one of those 'night time' tanks you stare at when all
the lights are off....

........................................ever notice everyone puts the "caves"
on the left hand side of the tank...... I wonder if 'left handers' put
all their caves on the right side...... heh... Peace -JT

......I just noticed you turned your kitchen light off after the first picture.
I thought your boys had custom cabinets and a sink in their tank..
shoooot, they could do their own water changes......

Looks nice real nice !
if you decide to change sand color dont forget the pictures
