Love the rock, looks spot on in the tank. Definitely the business. Yeah, it's a heavy beast, been thinking of adding more to mine but I'm a bit wary of the weight. Got about 40kgs in there now, got some wee caves and whatnot, but kept it low to avoid any collapses and also want to add some Cyps ...

Just tidied up the tank on water change day, got rid of the annoying rocks that kept stubbing my toes. Pulled out a load of sand, moved the plastic logs, and hid the rocks behind them.

Julie transcriptious would have been a better option. Also if you want to keep multies they are a shell dweller that needs lots and lots ...

I'd love those links to the escargot shells, mate. I'm having a ...

Hi all,

not sure if anyone will remember, but a month or so ago I mentioned I was going to convert my 300ltr community tank over to a Tangs tank. Right as I was about to start my convicts bred, so I thought I'd have to wait a couple of months before getting started...but the male ate all the fry ...
