I was hoping nobody would pick up on that...hehe I will get it done tonight. For the moment we are going to watch Finding Nemo!
Alternative filter idea...

Photo this morning, and also jumped on the YouTube bandwagon. Excuse the music, I tried to get some better stuff on but my computer can't quite work out how to (it's obviously the computers fault...). If anyone is interested, it's one of my boyfriends' compositions

Oooohh..aahhh...That's a really beautiful setup.:hearts: Do your goldies ever eat the Egeria densa?
All the time. It's the only one they touch though, so it's a good arrangement. I don't have to replace it very often cos I have it growing in my endlers tanks and it grows like anything

Ahhh...I was hoping an exception. My goldies eat that stuff all the time. Shame it's a beautiful plant in a goldy setup.
Yeah it is a shame, I keep myself consoled by remembering that it keeps them healthy It's also cheap. I'm planning on getting more plants (preferably java ferns) but I need to save. Luckily I've managed to get on the good side of the guy in my LFS and he gives me more plants than I pay for normally!

I actually used a marine sand that had (in very tiny letters) "suitable for FW aquariums" on the bottom. I mixed it with playsand that was in the original tank (not this one), so now it's a mix of very fine sand and the marine stuff. I don't know exactly what it is, think it's crushed shells etc. I thought I'd have issues with my pH but it stays at a steady 8.0 so no problems there.
OK, so the pump arrived the other day and I've been put on hold by the fact that it didn't come with a plug (who would have thought!). Anyway I'm set to tackle it this weekend - this is the plan.
I'll put it into a watertight container of some description - If I can, I might make it internal but that would be a whole lotta work and I could possibly get very wet. Otherwise I'll just sink it in a corner and hide it with lots of plants. I will probably stick a pipe to the intake and put it somewhere away from the output, but might have sealing issues here. I might have a look for some silicon at some point.
I have lots of attachments for the output. I can either use the ones provided, which allow me to spread the water out or concentrate it, or I can use my own. I have two spraybars and a spare powerhead.
What do you think?
