I ran into a few probs when I was setting this tank up,
I used river cobbles from the DIY store and although I
boiled them and checked the over carefully, they still
leeched toxins into the water which started killing my fish.
So I resorted to plan B, and replaced the river cobbles with
rainbow rock that I had used in a previous malawi setup, and
the fish never looked back, all are doing fine now.
I still have a lot more fish to add to this set up but so far
it's not looking to bad
The full tank
A couple of closer shots.
