Raninus tank

[hooliganATV]

so i just finished up, i didn't get as many pictures of the actual move as i hoped but i just wanted to get it done lol.

so where i was at yesterday

basically no difference to where i was last week


the move is into the bottom tank

anyway it was a simple move set up a temp tank move all the fish, then the hard scape and then the substrate.

so here is where it is now



and of the full unit



i have just ordered some spot lights as the strips are a PITA so should be here in a couple of days.

and while i had them out it grab some pics of the main tank owners



here they are next to SA bumble bee cats, very simliar but the size difference is huge



i'll be updating the grow out thread with more pics and measurements etc

oh and clear water pics to follow

now what to do with this????????????



maybe a coffee table tank in the future ??

so more pics,

tank all cleared up



then i wasn't happy with the lights, tubes are just too bright so i ordered some LED flood lights, 10watt cool white, 10000k so better than most tubes.



fitted two to each tank, i have 8 total so can up it to 4 on each tank if needs be but happy at the moment see how the plants do

just to show the lights and how bright they are



and actually on the tank

well i haven't updated this in a while and i have added a few more bit to the tank. also we had a major issue in the first couple of weeks. the issue was when we moved the cats the largest raninus went on the rampage and kill the other one and also the two SA bumble bees so he is now the only one left. all i can i put it down to i that it was a fight over territory.

anyway the tank is now looking like this.





and some of the occupants
