jvision Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Alex and I switched out the 135 tonight. All of the plants are out (except Crypt. balansae), and the Tangs are in. I'm hoping one/some of the great photographers can come over and shoot some of the fish up close. Here's a full tank shot There's a bunch of algae on the glass b/c I removed my plecos and whiptails to attempt breeding. Unfortunately, that didn't take, and I don't have time to keep trying, so they'r going back into the main tank... not this one - it has it's own trio of BN's that will have the glass spit-spot by morning, I'm sure!

catshanon Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Jay, Is this the one that's in your basement? All the plants are gone.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Looks like a dandy setup :thumbs: I'm sure between those BN's and the FX5 that water will be crystalline in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Jay, Is this the one that's in your basement? All the plants are gone.......... I'm setting up a new planted tank in the living room.... I don't think I can keep a tank w/o plants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayen Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 The cube? looks awesome. So how the BN's chowing down so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 It's looking really good, Jason. What a difference from the last time I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks for the comments. I'll be setting up another planted tank - probably a 50. The BNs have done a number. The front glass is pretty much spotless, and the back glass has lip marks all over it - you can see the green disappear as the Plecos go over it!

Fishful Thinking Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Those BNs are miracle workers, eh? Are you planning on breeding them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I am planning on breeding the BNs, again - it's been a while. I have a trio of WC. Ancistrus, who are now nice and fat. I'm not sure if I need to add another cave just for them, or if they'll just find one in the rocks (I have a couple of those decorator caves you buy at the LFS hidden in the rockwork, so we'll see how it goes) - I hav a verticle ABS cave ready to go should they wait too long.

Fishful Thinking Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Sounds like you will have wigglers in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I saw this tank in person last night and it is awesome! I love the division of the two rock piles, the plants in the back and the cool fish. My photos do not do these fish justice. Edit by Jason: You can tell I got the Paracyprichromis nigripnis from Pop Eye - these fish were posing wonderfully!! P. nigripinis Callochromis macrops 'Ndole' F1 Julidochromis transcriptus (or is it maleri?)

Fishful Thinking Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 After a lot of major compression/uploading hassles, I finally got a very compressed version of the video of Jason's tank. The DVD version of this footage is stunning, but this will have to do for now. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
