Hey there, thought I’d say hello
I’ve had a few tanks in the past, at one point had a 5’ tanganyikan with baby f1 frontosa! They were stunning fish. Was into shelldwellers for quite a while too, had similis and multis.
Now though since I moved into this house I’ve just been running a little 60litre Orca tank. It’s got a built in filter system at the back 4” depth of the tank run by a powerhead which is actually pretty good.
There’s an ever growing guppy population, six platinum tetra, two baby (1”) bristlenose, one chocolate shrimp, one cherry shrimp ? (I think so anyway, not seen that one for a while!) two lovely bamboo shrimp and my most favourite .... three giant African / vampire shrimp.
I’m in the process of resealing a Juwel Vision 180 and setting that up with an external filter and a more natural brown/black coarse sand substrate. I’ll be looking to plant it moderately.
After guidance from Dudley I’m going to be making my own LED strip lighting - I’ll be sandwiching the strips between sealed acrylic panels.
When the CV19 situation calms down I’d really like to turn the 60litre tank into some kind of cichlid tank.
Here’s a picture of the little freshwater tank!
