Chris Bailey Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I found this little beauty in the garden shed yesterday, just going through the "running in process" at the minute before I put my two faintail's in. In the future when funds allow I plan to buy a bigger tank. This new tank is a Rena half hexagon (30 litres) I think. Interested to see other people's setups [ATTACH]202457[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Early project that didn't work out but had this setup before I moved, but just down to the one 40"x20"x20" tank with Malawi's now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes mine look perthetic. I'm new to all this though, had my current tank almost a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Marine tanks are amazing, but they take a lot of work. Any well stocked Koi ponds on here? My parents had a great one until the local authorities decided to introduce Otters to the local river, which has cleared out the river and all the ponds in the village Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'm thinking of moving from tropical to marine, are marine a lot of work or not that bad actually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Awesome tanks. I used to have a pretty big one with just goldfish in when I was younger, but they all died. I'd like to get back into fishkeeping with tropical fishies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Some of my koi, unfortunately just after we moved we introduced some new koi and they brought a nasty disease with them, and wiped out 26 of these beauties, we are now gradually building up our stock again.

Hitbox Junkie Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm thinking of moving from tropical to marine, are marine a lot of work or not that bad actually? There a lot of work to get it right but after that it is just maintaining it and making sure the levels are good, also getting the eco system is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 How long have you had the Copperband Berg? I had one in my old mixed reef but it didn't last long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Had my tanks as marine back when there wasn't so much in the way of the modern fail safes and gadgets around, got a little discouraged after a couple of wipe outs, mind you I still managed to keep a snowflake moray eel for 11 years which according to London zoo is better than they can manage, I'll have a look to see if I have any pics, bought him as a boot lace and he ended up about 3 foot.

j_jza80 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Great setup that mate, obviously well kept with a sensible stock of fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 How long have you had the Copperband Berg? I had one in my old mixed reef but it didn't last long Ive had it around 6 months now The key is to find one that is visibly eating frozen/flake foods in the shop They are real shy fish and fussy eaters and will just starve themselves to death if they arent happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Some nice tanks on here. I have a three foot tropical tank with a silver shark, couple of angels, small shoal of black tetras, small shoal of neon tetras, couple of pleco's, amano shrimp and a couple of bamboo shrimp. Marine tank only has crustaceans in it. Fire shrimp, cleaner shrimp, boxer shrimp, pink lobster, emerald crabs, hermit crabs normal and Hawaiian banded, lightfoot crab and a couple of urchins. Pictures too big to host dagnammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
