I decided it was time for a bit of an update on this tank.
It has been running with no leaks for some time now and I am loving every minute of it
I eventually built the canopy out of the left over ply wood and the second I fitted the lights to it, it warped so badly that it wont even close. It it 100% sealed so the heat must have done it.
Im busy building a new lid now out of some picture frame moulding and aluminium sheeting. It should look awesome. Ill post pics when im done.
In the mean time here are a few pics of the tank an the fish that call it home. I think i am pretty lucky that I have managed to get my plants to look like this with Malawi`s in the tank. I am normally a fan of only having rocks with Malawi`s but for me this tank is so vibrant!
I have also got my fire eel in there now and he is eating out of my hand. If you look closely at the bottom right corner of the first pic you will see him peeping out of his home!
