5ft ~ New aquascape

Thank you Ramanth :)


I've decided the tank could do with a rescape :) So Saturday it will be pulled down and redone..

Stay tuned for new pics

My 125g, even with the angels I had, never looked that nice. Great work.

Thnx blue :)

Wow, Beautiful! I have a few questions on this, exactly how do you change the water in such a large tank? How many tanks do you have?

I change it by using a gravel syphon hooked to a garden hose (the garden hose goes outside onto the garden) syphon out about 25%. Then refill by bucket (i cant use the hose as it only connects to town water, i use rain water from a watertank to supply aquariums)

I currently also have running

2x 1ft tanks
3x 2ft tanks
2 AquaStart tanks

I have 3 tanks not currently running (1x 3ft is close to being filled)

Looking good if not better then ever.

I had, along with the 125g, a 50g with 2 or 3 breeding colonies of albino bristlenose plecs, a 55g SA plec/catfish tank, I dont remember what I had in the 30g. With all the catfish digging I couldnt ever keep any plants in place to take hold. The stingrays kept me from having plants in the 125.
