Add in otos. They help to clean up individual strands of hairgrass.

I have 2 small Otos in my tank for 1 week already... maybe they can't keep up

hey jervis.. maybe you would want to remove the yamato after they done their algae work. yamat is well known to eat mosses as well.
my 2 cents.

Yeah I heard... I can always move the Yamatos to my 2ft tank... no Moss there for them to destroy

Jervis,

By the way, is your ADA lily pipes and outflow pipes both V7 -17mm, since eco/stand eheim are using 12/16mm [inner/outer dimensions] pipings ? so it slots nicely into the ADA pipes.

No bro, I'm using ADA P2, you take the measurement from the inner dimensions of the eheim green hose, not the outer. Dip the rubber hose in hot water for about 30 seconds and you will find it a lot easier to work on

Hi Jervis,
Great tank, and one of the best step by step, I ever seen.

Thanks for sharing it.

Cheers,

Joe Faria

Getting ready for my some new faunas... luckily I manage to find my old acrylic cutter

Looks nice... but a bit rough towards the back (where all the pipings are)... will get another piece to try again

**oblivion** · 18th Mar 2008, 21:09

why don't you buy the ada glass cover to complete the set?

**iwishweallcouldwin** · 18th Mar 2008, 21:21

what fauna are you planning to add?

I cannot find

And anyway I cant use the standard cover as my lighting clamps and pipings are blocking

Bought 5 Endler's Livebearers as a start... it's fascinating seeing them devour the algae

I think I will get 5 more tomorrow

**fireblade** · 18th Mar 2008, 22:49

Yeah... I hope they will remain hungry for the next few days

Added 5 Zebra snails today... this is an area my magnet cleaner can't reach.

**raymond** · 18th Mar 2008, 23:04

wow jervis, after looking at your setup, it really motivates me to emulate you. but i dont have the finances to but the equipment. You must be a really rich guy. haha. but nevertheless, fantastic set up u have there.

**iwishweallcouldwin** · 18th Mar 2008, 23:51

wow nice picture of the endlers in action. cool fishes. that's what my peruvian angels did the first thing i introduced them into my tank as well. enjoy your fishes!

Looks like my beloved bubble bee nerite snails la. zebra shell looks like this and have no spikes and are less common in LFS these days.

I saw a new shippment of ramhorn snails at c328.
