what do you mean, Ice Age?
Ice Age theme aquarium
hi any1 has this theme of aquarium at home? i plan on setting up this aquarium theme with african cichlids residing in it.. but to start.. i need some ideas on what type of rocks, substrate to get.. any comments welcome!
what do you mean, Ice Age?
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Snowy white rocks and sand?

they just make the most of everything that comes along their way
When will there be 25 letters in the alphabets?
winter condition with tropical fish?

Hi ah hup, if you want to create a biotope for african cichlids, please checkfish.mongabay.com. Go to Lake Malawi or Lake Tanganyika section for more information.

limestone? marble would look nicer.. and Mr Snowman

Guys... Be nice...
Ah hup, you intend to start something for the African Lake cichlids? Malawis, I presume? Coral chips would be nice... And look for rocks of similar make... But a white theme should not last long... The fish poo and fish food will most likely stain the white substrate and then algae might grow on them... which incidentally, most of the malawi cichlids will love...

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted!), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted!
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
interesting idea
Here's how I visualise it might look like
Main fauna: glass catfish
Flora: nanas, small crypts, pelias and moss
Hardscape: quartz rocks(as shown in your other thread) arrangements similar to iwagumi style, dried twigs (scattered in foreground)
Substrate: lapsi(in the back and higherground), river sand (in bare fore-ground)

eh why i say limestone is because i read up that limestone increases pH of the water.. and since african cichlids require high pH so i said limestone lor..Limestone~~ i hope you are just kidding

hi this is what im gonna use for the tank since i already got these items at home and currently on a budget... from my another thread which ask about quartz rocks.. i think tt will be impossible.. now finding another replacement over quartz.. anyway here's the item i''ve got..
for base substrate..
another coarse substrate for the snow base effect... not sure what izit.. bought it from OTF at pasir ris farmway
and finally coral rocks! for up-ing pH of water.

Living a fake life is by following other people's life,get a life n follow yours and u will have pride
hm.. just finish laying out the substrate
how about scene from the chronicles or Narhia....sorry, the Chronicles of Narnia...? The background paper must be taken away and replaced with white paper....
I would imagine this to be a totally rocky tank.
