ok, cleaned out my tank, and redid it all today... changing to brackish... making a happy home for the archers.... :D
Basically i put some sand in... got some rocks form my local beach and boiled them clean... got some silk plants... and in general got everyting ready.. just thought i'd share some pics of it... It's a Rio 180 (180 litres) about 30 galls... I just want to explain the jug system now: basically i didn't want sand flying everywhere when the power of the hose hit it... so the jug took the preassure, then the overflow just dribbled out into the tank... I have the heater and the air stone hidden behind or beside the bogwood... enjoy;)
