Thanks Kyle, no its a Red Zebra. I have three Africans in this tank and have been keeping a close eye on them. So far they have behaved.

Lol, sorry man it took a little bit to put it all together and get it where I was happy with it. I see your devil has been snackin' on some mates. That devil is a beast man.

Beautiful, not over done. Flattering to the fish which look happy instead of stressed.

I love the look of drift wood, but I'm afraid for it to kill my ph.
harvick fan » posted 2008/01/10 - 18:35
great looking , and steve you can offset it some by using crushed corral for substrate
Steve Colquhoun Tammylyn Richer » posted 2008/01/10 - 18:41  
I have "sugar sand" in the bottom mixed with gravel, and also 75LBS of coral rock, ranging from the size of base balls, to slightly larger then soft balls, there is one the size of a bowling ball LOL
Jerry Goebert » posted 2008/01/10 - 18:46
I use crushed coral and tofa rocks to assist in buffering by PH. I still add "Proper 8.2!" to set the PH. I toss in an extra dash to compensate for the wood.
Steve Colquhoun Tammylyn Richer » posted 2008/01/10 - 18:48
10-4 appreciate it, and aaron, that tank looks great!
