Great looking tank, think your light spectrum brought out all the vibrant Colours

Interesting to see that you are using 2 wavemakers and installing 3 light sets for your setup. Is your canister filter that you are using under power?

Hi Bracehero and Halfbeak, thank you.

Hi magpie, i find that my tank lack movement. In fact there is one small pump directed flow to the back of the tank.

is the width 60 cm ? looks quite long

What happened to the lush growth seen in the before pics?

[Guppendler]

At some point in time the all lush jungles would need a good housekeeping to prevent the tank from 'choking up'

[fireblade]

wonderful looking tank!
looks like you stacked a lot of rocks together!
the big fishes makes the tank looks small though...

shouldn't you put the wave maker at different positions so that the flow is more spread out?

[uorme99]

Hi limz_777, it is at 45cm width.

Hi Veteran and Guppendler: I have to agree with Guppendler time to trim up thus must trim.

Hi fireblade, Thank you. Yeap they are kind of big but I do like them very much. The wave makers actually face different angle. I do think that they are too disturbing having them there. Maybe would like to change to having one or two instead. Any advice on which wave maker is good and strong?

[fireblade]

maybe 1 infront and one at the back should be enough?
or get those that swivel?

[uorme99]

fireblade, was looking at the Hydor koralia 2 wave maker (too strong?) or the Tunze 6045. Which would be more ideal? And what type of wave maker will swivel?

[fireblade]

I might have mixed up with swivel power heads and not wave makers
I got limited knowledge on wave makers..
I am using a small sicce wavemaker for my 2 feet tank though

Pretty good ,the 'Red Line Torpedo' look big and out of place, if you do not mind me saying. They made the tank looks small
