My 90 liter

Haven't updated my tanks in a while.
I sold the biorb away as the filter was not doing what I wanted and got a 90 liter aquarium last week ( 62 x 38 x 38 )
All my old fish ( 8 rummynose and 9 flame tetras ) are in there are levels are fine. If all is well in a couple weeks I'll add some sterbai corydoras.
Here it is:
Still a work in progress but I reckon it looks kinda neat.
I might get some more plants and stuff

Looking good
If you can get some Java or Christmas moss and tie it to the tips of branches of the wood, like a Bosnia tree, would make it kind of stand out as a centre piece.Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams. -
Great idea! I'll snag some moss from my shrimp tank and stick it in the big one tomorrow.
-
-
I've attached a little moss to it and added a bin bag to the back.
Levels are all fine. Now I'm just trying to source some catfish for it. -
Looking good, keep up the good work \m/
-
Maybe this week or the weekend after I'll get some cories and kuhlis if all is running as smoothly as it is now.
-
Looks great, maybe try for some stick on background you can find online but the bin liner looks cool for now. And as Moo and the others have stated keep up the good work and more updates please.
=D> -
I'll be getting some cories/ kuhlis/ ram tomorrow!

Hope all goes well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :PSometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

Looking good.

TT, what’s the filter that you've got on the inside of the tank there, I have only ever used a under gravel filter which I find can make the tank look cluttered or a canister filter outside the tank, I haven’t come across that type of filter before. Are they any good, would they use active charcoal and cotton wool as a filter medium.
I’m guessing that filter is the only one you’re running; I don’t see any other pipes anywhere.
Very nice setup you have there BTW

Thanks guys!
TetraDave, I'm running two filters in there.
The first one is the one that it came with. It's built into the lid and you can see the intake in the top right hand corner opposite the grey filter. It's very efficient and works great. It is 550 liters per hour.
The second one is my powerhouse. This little beauty can go 1200 liters an hour. The flow was so strong I had to DIY spray bar cos the plants were getting uprooted lol. It's an aquaone maxi 103F
The downside is that it's big and ugly. It's not in there so much for filtration cos it doesn't carry a lot of media, it's just a polisher and flow generator. A great secondary filter IMO.

My hygrophila plant ( big long stemmy one In The back ) is normally a lot more handsome but it's leaves have started falling off after it went 12 days without light. -
Hey TT, are you root tabs or dino dung at all.
Anyway, it's looking goodSometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams. -
Heintz, along with the new plants and fish, I have 50 aquasonic hydrogrow tablets on the way.
I also have seachem flourish liquid form coming along too. Time will tell if this will work -
-
Has anyone tried keeping full grown glass or riffle shrimps with rams?
-
i think the rifle shrimp should be ok but you will be lucky to have any babies survive. :-?
-
Rams will pick on them till they weaken and then 8-X

Beginning to doubt the source where I'm getting this livestock. Haven't heard squat from them almost a week after I placed an order. I'm hoping this is because of the Easter long weekend. 8-X
-
Hearin ya) But public holidays always mess with delivery dead lines, ~O)
-
-
Bah! They shipped it at 5:30 pm yesterday. It's made it to Sydney but it's not left there yet. I hope it's brang home before the long weekend. If not the fishll be left in the dark for almost a week probably. 8-x

That's not good at all TallTree

My package arrived in Melbourne at 02:48 this morning! Today's the day! \m/
I'll keep y'all posted. -
The package arrived this afternoon.
Blast everything!
(
Everything came. Not everything survived.
The pair of rams had moved on. Laid side by side by each other in the bag. :-(
The riffle shrimp was a 2/3 survival rate. Could have been worse. Still devastating though.
Truly heartbreaking.
Plants arrived healthy and have been planted.
I will start pics when everything is clear. Hopefully the company will give full refund.( -
That's a shame R.I.P Li'l Rams ...
What company? Photos of DOA's in the unopened bag is what they ask for "I'm a Doug Addict" -
Real Shame :-<
-
Here are pics as promised.
One of my beautiful riffles: \m/
Here is my 90 liter with new plants and all:
Whaddya think? :-t -
Looks good, like Mooo wrote, did you take photos of the dead fish in the bag and email them to your supplier.

Thanks guys
Heintz, yeah, they responded with no fuss and apologized profusely ( as they should have ) . They won't have another pair in stock for a little while so I'm just waiting.
I'm currently battling a unknown sickness that is massacring my peppered cories. I think it is a result of poor breeding and lack of food at pet shop because their stomach bacteria is dying off. Could be a parasite. I've lost 3 cories already to it, bringing total down to 4. 3 of which are really healthy looking and the other probably won't make it through to see another Saturday.
Anyone had experience with this?
They just stop moving one day, then a couple days later they start floating, then a couple days later they're on the substrate on their sides/ backs, few days later they're gone. Mortifying -
yeah, i am dealing with something similar with my rainbows. Really annoying and saddening. I suspect you might be right about breeding. Without any real symptons its had to diagnose. thats my issues anyway, look fine one day, dead the next

That is quite sad but the tank is really looking good.

Real bugger when you can't do anything for then.
My banana lilies have really shot off. They about 1 and a half inches taller and much thicker.
Lost another cory today. The rest are all looking fine so hopefully this is the last I see of such sickness. -
Had to euthanize my favorite cory today. Big beautiful female. Only have 2 lEft now.
-
Hi TT, this is very sad indeed.
Are they getting enough food after everyone else is finished, have you tried shrimp pellets, algae tablets, blood worms.
Cheers,

Me to, TT( Try again though, right?

I've tried feeding just about very food under the sun. They never so much as lifted a fin to get it even when it was right under them.Heintz.G said:Hi TT, this is very sad indeed.

Thanks moo.Mooo said:( :-& So sorry TT
I dunno if I'll try again with cories again to be honest. Certainly not peppereds. Dunno if my heart can take any more.Frayk said:Me to, TT

Bugger,they must of starved themselves
If you like, I can pm you a site that have Sterbai on sale at the moment, in QLD and the deliver Aust wide.Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams. -
Last cory passed on today. Was devastated.
So I went out to LFS ( always cheers me up ) for some water conditioner and what awaited me there?
A beautiful pleco!
It was love at first sight, I just had to have it. :x
They labelled it as Bristlenose, I'm not so sure and am currently Identifying it. -
Bristlenose has passed away and my fish are looking awful. There is doe thing wrong with the water but no ammonia and nitrites. The fish have milky eyes and ragged fins. I'm guessing some sort of chemical got into the tank.
