Hi,
After a few years away, we thought we should start anew tank to replace our existing Roma 125 tank which has a nice long scratch along the front. After a trip to our local Maidenhead Aquatics shop we returned with a new Roma 125 LED.
Opened the box on Sunday to find Hagen had changed the brace meaning it would be much harder to fit the external pipework, out came the trusty hacksaw!! Then constructed the bog wood with help of a drill and some cable ties ready for the big swap out.
Monday afternoon we started the operation, removed all plants and fish from existing (always takes longer than you think) and put new tank in position. Time for a cup of tea. Next put in the Tropica Substrate topped with smooth gravel and a carefully placed piece of bog wood. By 6pm the fish were back in, all the Crypts, Anubias and Java fern replaced, with Java fern bunched ready for sale as its not going to feature so heavily in this setup.
Once the Java fern has gone it will show up the longer piece of wood running out towards the right at the back.
