    5 weeks old 2ft Pleco Tank

    My 2ft Pleco tank + 3 levels Overhead filter driven by Atman Powerhead + 2 Internal fitlers + 5 driftwood

    Residents living in are:
    3 Flash pl*co (L204), 1 Albino Gibby (L083), 2 Sturisoma panamense, 2 Apple snail & 1 Farlowella vittata.

    The water volume for the tank is ~ 60L/15G. With 3 fitlers combined, the effect would be 25 times of water turn-over per hour. A little over-filtered but I think Pleco loves it!

    Any comments...

    Yes, I've a Farlowella vittata from C328, about ~6". The water is very brownish and all the Pleco hidding somewhere between driftwood.

    Cheers,
    I only use a Dymax Submerge Lamp and the fact is the Pleco tank does not really require light (unlike planted tank).

    Anyway I will show another photo with submerge light on later today...

    Yup, too late to realize and already addicted (like drug).. Now looking all the L-numbers and can be interesting and confusing at the same!

    Already upgraded to a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft tank and also registered to www.plecofanatics.com as a member using the name 'Hans-tank', if you do notice. You're the moderator there, right?

    That's the plan . Want to start searching for Royal Pleco (especially L027b, L027c & L190) as the tank is still in cycling stage.

    Can 4ft x 2ft x 2ft okay for 3 Royal Plecos ?
