Now with fish

 

[chevypride]

Here is my cichlid family. Nothing to special as of yet. 1 "Snow white", 1 "Electric yellow", 1 "bumble bee", and 2 "ice blue", as well as numerous convicts (I'm trying to rehome the convicts though). I have one Marineland Emperor 400 filter. Simply just some sand I got at the sand pit and rinsed and boiled, the rocks are just rocks I was able to find outside (or the ones my mom snuck back from Mexico, they were never supposed to end up in the tank.. But I couldn't help it)... The driftwood was from the river around my home. The only think in the tank that costed me any money was the fake plants... That I got at the dollar store! Some of the Africans I was able to get by trading the convicts. The 40 gallon long tank and all the equipment was purchased from the local classifieds for $100.... Needless to say my tank is a thrifty tank...

Everything that goes in is either boiled or put in the oven to kill bacteria. And so far nothing bad has come from it! (When I was taking these risks it was just the convicts, and to be honest I wasn't to worried... I had over 150 between 2 tanks!!)

That rock work is exactly how I want mine! Where'd you get stome like that? Did it come in those pieces or did you have to break it, and how much do u thing the big ones weigh?

 

[gambs]

It's called moss rock. I have about 100 lbs in there. No they all came like that. Big two weighs 25 lb maybe

 

[erikmoseley]

Where'd u get it?

 

[gambs]

Make sure you have good powerheads. Waste can build up in space between rocks. I have 1600gph on both sides creating clockwise flow. Most waste settles on the right side of tank outside of rock work.

 

[gambs]

Where'd u get it?

Local rock yard in houston.

Here's what tank looks like now. Took out larger rocks.
