First batch of fish are now acclimating [emoji1305]

Tried mixing it in a bucket with a stick but it all just settled at the bottom of the bucket when the water settled

Put some Malawi lake salt in my tank I’ve just started cycling but it is clumping up and I don’t wanna tough it because it burns your skin, any advice?

stand finished, filter set up, scaping done, time to cycle

the brace is now glued in to prevent bowing when full and the stand is almost finished, just need to pick up some ply wood and hinges and stuff tomorrow so I can clad it. Looking forward to setting it up

I’m at work atm but last I check it was still going strong, little bit of bowing in the middle so I’ll put another piece of glass across the middle tomorrow

I’m gonna stock it with peacock cichlids

now to test if it will hold water and not explode ?

Tempered glass is almost unbreakable in the middle, you could hit it with a hammer and it won’t break. but it is very weak on the edges, one tap on the edge and your whole piece of glass shatters in to a million pieces.

just a quick update, I had to remove one of the sides and restick it back on and i didn’t push it in at the bottom but all fixed now, I’ve added some 20mmx20mm bronzed aluminium angle in the corners to hide my not so pretty cuts and I think it’s looking great, another thing is I’m unsure as to...

That’s the plan, I’m gonna make a frame out of 2x4 and clad the whole thing to make it look nicer then I’m going to add some doors on the front as I’m contemplating getting a canister filter and I’d like to mostly hide it

Had a small issue with silicone smearing but all in all I’m enjoying building my first tank

Hey guys I’m new to the fish world and was wondering when I do a water change do I need to add anything to my new water before it goes in the tank?
