140 Display, March03: Tank Update

[japes]

Some of you may have wondered where I have been, most of you probably didn't. I was on a little 2 week vacation away from MFK and that's all that needs to be said. However, I have now returned to lurk these boards once again, so here's an update on my tank for those that liked my photographs.

Nothing has physically changed, other than my heater literally exploding and requiring a replacement as it's now Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, but considering I've been gone for 2 weeks I figured I'd give myself this thread as a welcome back present.

Geophagus altifrons 'Rio Tocantins', actually looking reasonably bland in this photo.

Geophagus sp. 'Araguaia Orange Head', dominant male. Still not showing much orange in the head but it should come through within the next inch of growth. Every now and then it's quite visible.

Acarichthys heckelii, got a decently lit photo of him!

Same Heckelii. Fed some Beefheart to get them out and about, hence the floating specs as I split it up as much as possible with my fingers so they need to scavenge it.

G. araguaia enjoying some beefheart.

Here's a crappy video from May 19, they'll be as good as GreenTerra's and AquaMojo's videos one day (probably when I buy an actual video camera). Was also dumb enough to not mute the background noise, and the music runs a little too long

WELCOME BACK!!!!!

Any fish injured/dead from the heater? Gotta be safe with those, most people don't really care about the heater but it works nonstop in the colder months and failures can happen.

Well the heater literally shattered into a handful of pieces, luckily it was in my sump so it was easy to clean up. The whole thing split in half, luckily I didn't get electrocuted, and nothing leaked into the tank, all fish are perfectly fine aside from spending two nights in an unheated tank that dropped to around 23 degrees celcius at night, I usually run 27 degrees celcius for all you fahrenheit people

I've got a replacement heater for 1 month that I picked up cheap while my usual source of Dry Goods orders in a bunch of Jager 300W's, which I'll be picking up as soon as they come in.
