We had a think about this...

we got a 4x2x2 tank..... and debated what to put in there..

decided to go community in the end.. as there's a lot more to look at. rather than a couple of larger fish (started with oscars and silver dollars)

I love it... it's mostly gouramis and tetras, loads of corys and some other catfish...

this is when it was freshly planted up... need to redo it again..

Hi all

Previously had a 5ft'r and went down the marine preditor path, with no corals to deal with and stocked with different Lions ..

Made up a ' coral head ' with spare living rock from my reef tank ...

Had to skim and filter the arse off it but when it settled down was abso bloody lutely stunning !!!!!

The lions used to hover over the rock and pick of any food items that swam past.... Just used blue tincts as no corals to support.

The tank looked awesome !!! and as no corals were being supported ( except a few softies that seemed to flourish) a lot easier to manage (ie
no supplents, no checking water every half day...

Would do it again anytime

If ex wife still has the pics will post them up


Just my thoughts on what to do !!!

Personally would do this in a 3ft cube but as live in a first floor appartment dont think my neighbours would appreciate in falling through the floor LOL

Cheers

Chris
