BkD Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hey my names Brock and I used to own a 3ft tropical fish tank, I don't think I have any photos of it around here but if I come across some I'll post em up. I sold all my gear but my girlfriend has had a 2.5ft tank sitting in her room for a while now with coral sitting in it half full of water. So I had to put the tank to good use. I've cleaned it all up and set it up in my room. It has a hood and a 2ft light but nothing else just yet. Hopefully today (30th) I'll be able to pick up an AquaClear Hang-On Filter, Jager 100W Heater, some nice small dark gravel, a tube for the light and get the tank up and running.

Davo25 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Welcome brock, nice to see ya can't give up the addiction..hahaha Why are you putting in a hang on filter and not powerhead??? Just curious?? And with the gravel be careful as to wat fish you put in there as the gravel does in sum fish affect there colouring i have found. Just a thought....

BkD Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 What gravel would you suggest Davo? My mate has a Hang-On filter and the waterfall that comes out of it I like and because the filter is out of the water it doesn't look messy inside.

BkD Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Oh dam! I just got some black gravel. It's Aqua One gravel, sort of shiney but under water it looks good. Well I hope it does or I just wasted $50 on 15kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
