nice looking tank you have there marcus. i especially like the black substrate. wish i could find some here that wasnt so expensive($20 for a ten pound bag)
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

I cant remember what I payed. I think it was something like £40 to do the whole tank. 2 large bags. I used to have white but found black shows off the fish better and makes it a little more natural.

I have only posted one pic Paul, thats "white tigers" in pictures. I used to have 2 white and 2 black tigers. i woke one morning to find one dead and one very sick that later died. so I now have a few more clowns. the big one is around 8" and I love it.had it 6yrs or more along with that dam parrot.))) The missus got it for me. I will post some picture soon. I shot the video in HD that made it to large to upload thats why i had problems. I done some underwater videos but had problems with them too. I think I finely got the hang of it now.

I have put some more photos in the album now.

sorry to hear about the 2 white tigers.
i had view the rest of your album.
i believe video should be at maximum of 3
minutes. it will take too long to upload.

btw marcus.... i can confirm now that my plants
in the filtering box have something to do in lowering
nitrates and other minerals in my water. plants is the main
factor why my fishes survived despite of minimal changes of water.
you can try any rooting plants that survive in water, put them inside
your tank, and test your water after 72 hours.... you will be amazed to
find out.

I have tried a few times with plants.My fish pull them up((( plants do use nitrates but to do any real amount of good you need a tank full of plants.I considered a sump full of plants at one time but lighting is a issue.

i do understand your concern. however, the plants
i am refering to is a kind that thrives in water though
their twigs and sprout grows outside the tanks. you can even
put some bamboo looking plants in your HOB and let the roots
propagate over it. you will be amaze how the roots absobrs all the
minirals and nitrates to make your water in good condition.

i will post the concept later.

hi marcus, the picture below is one example of how the plants
alter the water parameters in the aquarium. this is what i am trying
to impart to all oscar enthusiasts. i will post later my DIYS set up
adapting to the local availability. for your further evaluation and trial.
