If Fish Tank is rhyming slang, you're on tricky ground, my lad....

You forgetted basicly and intrested.

I will have to try and get some pic's up later ( on iPod now ) I have been keeping marines for about 5 years, bloody good hobby although you need to be able to affford to burn money to do it properly! I have only got a nano running (although mostly sps)now due to house moves but that still works out a lot of money each month. I look forward to seeing a few other peeps tanks.

I had a very modest set up for a while.

It was only a small tank so liked lots of small fish.

This was the cichlid tank before we put the cichlids in it:



With some fish in it



We've also got this Amazonian setup, which I'll be stripping and restarting sometime soon (planning to add CO2, change the substrate, upgrade the lighting and plant heavily)

[Glassman]

Siamese Fighting Fish is pretty much a lone ranger; definitely won't make friends with Angel and Cichlid.

Personally, Clown Loach were my favourite.

[Jasandjules]

The tanks are, uh, too large to fit in a photo without being too far away.......

[otolith]

By the way, Paul, those fish you've listed aren't all compatible with each other - some have radically different water chemistry requirements, others will beat the crap out of the rest.

parakitaMol. Your thread is here!!

I'll post mine once the fish have moved in, it's still being cycled at the moment

[LeeThePeople]

Taken about 6 months ago on my iPhone so the quality is naff, have around double the amount of coral in it and the goldrim tang has moved onto a mates tank. Under the "arch" on the second picture you might just be able to make out my african ghost eel.

Marine Tropical tank 5 weeks in so cycling process still going.

Introduced this week 1 x Featherduster, 2 x Turbo snails (one is a bloody monster), 2 x Red Legged Hermit Crabs, Colony of Yellow Polyp.

Seemed to have aquired a different breed of snail from live rock from week 2 but it is very happy.

All figures working out, fingers crossed.

Introduced 2 small clowns today to get things going and test system.

Pics off of phone so not great quality.

GSW500 are those the tmc led's? they are cool, i have a blue one for night time viewing. My hallide has actinics for blues in the day so its not needed in the day but well worth the money and just as good as a hallide imo.

That is beautiful, as are the others in the link. Thanks.

I have various tanks of tropical fish on and off for nigh on 25 years. I stopped about three years ago. However, seeing the setups in the link has rekindled my interest. Some of them are truly stunning.

LTP,

I got a double set off of fleabay, fixed to canopy via cable tie sticky mounts and on timer.
Transformer has variable voltage so they can be dimmed too, only 15 quid.

I also got a single set from Hong Kong as a backup, fixed and ready to plug into timer if others fail.

Think single set was about 6 quid.

Have fluorescent T5 marine tubes in canopy at present but these may be replaced with Halide lamps.

I've doubled up on everything to err on the side of caution, don't want to lose any livestock for the sake of 10/20 quid.

I could find details if required for led's.

HTH.
