Yer I might make this more automated one day. In all honesty I'm planning to up the filtration and wire in a STC1000 controller for temperature as well. However I'm moving at the end of the week so have to get through that hurdle first. This tank will be completely stripped and rebuilt during...

Agreed, Kribs aren't mouth brooders (cave brooders as Darrel say). Although once hatched they will transport the fry around if they decide for a change in scenery. And they do tend to 'clean' the very young fry in there mouths. At least that what it looks like to me. Also I only have the...

Brilliant cheers, Hopefully they are still there later and I will transfer them to a hatching container.

Darrel: You sound certain. Have you seen these before? Would be awesome if they are!! Bizarrely these are located near the surface on an anubias leaf roughly 18" off the substrate and 2-3" below the surface. Is this normal for Corys?

So found these yesterday: I don't think they are angel fish eggs. They look to big and they appear to be quite tough (this angel fish couldn't pick them off the leaves). The known breeders in the tank are angels, kribs and rams. But they are out of place and look different than any of those...

Wow again!! This is awesome... I had no idea that so many variants would be possible from a CRS x CBS mix!! Makes me very tempted to hunt for a 'moya' of my own at some point (I'll wait to see if my CRS's breed on there own first though!). I didn't realise the shrimplets hatch and then then...

Subscribed!! Good luck.

Wow!!!! Something for me to work up to! Great tank and awesome photos!! I like the fact that you have such diverse varieties in there that you never know what mix you'll get from the offspring. Are you ever planning to selectively breed or are you just happy seeing what happens?

Hey, looks like a lot of tannins in the water. Is that part of you planned biotope or just side effect of new drift wood? Cool effect though. Some serious bits of wood in there!!

Looks really good. I like the cigarette filter trick. nice idea.

Nice. Like it a lot. Like the fact that it appears that none of your planting is coming from the substrate, it's all attached to the rock or wood. Gives a very interesting feel to the tank.

Yep. 50%. Had an oscar for 8 years. You get used to it. Like Edvert said. Syphon out then fill up directly from the tap. Takes an hour but only 10 mins of work. Rest of the time it's just draining or filling. Ohh yer and only 5 amano's. They're thriving. Probably because there's plenty of...

Troi: Good idea. That would've prolonged the life of my previous little experiment!! No Chance I'll be doing in on this beast any time soon though. For your interest this was my attempt at the dirt tank: Darren: Cheers :). One of my mates queried why I hadn't planted it all... I mentioned...

Troi: Just sand. Play sand from B and Q. Glad I didn't use soil underneath. I've tried that on a smaller scale and although growth is good I found eventually it mixes and doesn't look good. Too much work on a tank this size! I have noticed that I have small root tendrils (really fine) coming up...

Hey all, Been lurking on here for ages but short of a few early question haven't been that active. Anyway would like to document my progress with my large low tech attempt. Been a lot of fun and very happy with end result but it requires a lot of patience!! I had originally planned to make...
