Full tank pics here

:oops: I think you mean me oscarbreeder Once I started I couldn't stop. Everyone has been a newbie - but I reckon its's only the new newbies who can remember what it's like.

Thank you for all your help. I can't find any ammonia today - it's a public holiday so the shopping is very limited. One of my filter media is DeNitrate which ... "Removes and controls nitrates, nitrites and ammonia. Also removes organic build-up and provides high porosity support for your...

I reckon you knew I would be back with more questions :!: I just hope you're not going aaarrrrgh ... she's back. The pic isn't going to happen tonight - I've definitely decided to move a plant. Re the driftwood. I mentioned that it floated so I've had to anchor it with a rock. It has also...

hi ya gazjeffery I'm only a newbie to the fish world. I started with a fighter fish ... as we all do :!: We were going away for the weekend so I asked my 4 year old surrogate grand daughter if she would look after NoNamus for us. She was so taken with him that I asked her Mum if I could...

:BIG: It's done. Not without minor hitches though :!: I partly filled my tank (Alan was brilliant - we popped the garden sprinkler into the tank so the water was gentle & fast filling) & then planted & worked on the airstones - carefully burying the tubing. Then dear Alan came along &...

Menagerie ... I've already done it. I bought the extra gravel & washed myself silly :eyes: the tank looks even better. I've got rolling gravel now & the cave is more natural looking - more so now that I've pebbled part of the inside. Can't wait for the plants & water :lach: Thank you...

I don't like being able to see the PVC either Cam. I was worried about the fish scratching themselves on the gravel if I glued inside too. I reckon I should buy some small smooth pebbles & glue those. I'm chuffed you both approve.

Hi ya I've actually managed to post a photo ... it was easy ... http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3933 I'm missing 50% gravel, plants, water & obviously fish. The caves & fishy swim through's are bigger than they look. The main planting area will be to the right of...

Hi ya Cam I think I'll go for the 2nd list & add either danios or rummy nose tetra (10). Both lfs's think 2 gourami would be best & not give too many problems. Re the lighting - my lfs has agreed to take my single light back. Re the filter Yes, I'm definitely going to get an extra one. My...

Wham Oh :multi: I'm getting really excited now. :invasion: I've placed my rocks, driftwood, DIY cave, DIY other thing. It's all there waiting for next weekend when I will place my airstones, plants, & get the water in. :eek2: There's a major setback - my husband was helping me with my...

whoooppee Aquarian - I've made one too. I can't wait to fill my tank & watch the clown loaches play in it. :smilecolros: Thanks heaps for the tip.
