journal Twellsy's 3ft Divided Tank

[Twellsy]

Hi All ,

Spent last night and most of today redoing the tanks

I took people's advise and added another bag of up aqua shrimp sand to each tank ( about 5kgs per tank now )

I have added some plants and moved some things around

Tank 1 ( right hand side ) has Sunkist Cherries , CBS will be moved in next week

Tank 2 ( middle ) has Red Cherries , still looking for tank mates

Tank 3 ( left hand side ) has Choc/Wild Cherries , CRS will be moved in next week

Cheers Twellsy

Cheers , it was a little bit longer I had to cut about 20cm off so it would fit the tank

Starting to look good, I still love how the lights hang on to the tank. Very modern.

[MrShrimp]

What camera are you using twellsy?

[Heavyd]

It's a cool shot. Even if it is the only successful one.

[Twellsy]

Thanks all , the shrimp wouldn't play nice tonight ( I'll try again over the weekend )

The camera is just the Samsung galaxy S4 phone

Got home on Monday night after being away for a few days with work , I noticed there was no water flow coming from the filters ( no idea how long they havent been working for )Opened them up and found that all the cartridges where blocked

I replaced all of them with filter wool , getting very good flow now set on half

I did a 25% water change on Tuesday just incase

Checking the tanks today I noticed about 20 tiny RCS and a few females carrying eggs - 4 RCS , 1 sunkist , 2 Chocs , 2 red rillis , lots of babies coming soon

Should have some shrimp to pay forward soon

Dodgy photo I got , more photos to come

Yeah very happy considering what could have happened if I hadn't noticed the filters ( I don't run any air stones )

I wanted to do the happy dance but my family think I weird already

I wanted to do the happy dance but my family think I weird already

all the more reason to do it anyway :P

[Squiggle]

+1 totally dude, if they only think you're weird you should just robot it up & remove all doubt, hahaha
