Your current Fish tank Setups!

Busy day.

Have moved the male terrapin into a plastic tub with a floating platform until I can pick up another aquarium off the marketplace next week. It keeps nipping at one of the females. It’s so hot in there it’ll be fine without a heater for a few days.

Have then picked up a load of equipment to streamline water changes to become less reliant on our fish guy:
- 2500l/h pump (will obviously turn it down a bit)
- 20m hose
- longer gravel siphon cleaner
- various fish tank cleaning accessories (with long handles for my biggest tank)

Plus some new coral glue so that I can attach the cabbage where it is and the toadstool slightly higher. They’ve both opened up at least, just need the toadstool to stand up now.

Reef fans are working like a charm, they are still somehow managing to keep it between 26.5 and 26.9C. Didn’t think they would work so well.

Lot cooler today, but connected my budget option into my inkbird controller.
We'll see how it fares when the weather picks up again. :p

Slowly getting on top of the aquarium again. Minimal algae, stable temperature. New corals have perked up. Should hopefully be able to start adding a few more without worrying about them cooking.



The GSP is nearly gone to the right of this section, so will need a few more corals for that spot.

I suspect some colourful zoas, hammers and candy cane next.

Had to separate our male terrapin as he had become highly territorial against one of the females. So I’ve quickly thrown this together this afternoon:



I’ll add a heat lamp on Monday.

Then hanging planters off the back and probably some shrimp and some decoration.

It’ll do for now though!
 
I’ve added some plants to try to grow them out of the water, assuming the terrapin leaves the roots alone. I may try some floating plants too, he seems to leave most things alone. Also added some shrimp to help clean things up. I have a big piece of driftwood to go in, just need to see if it is ready to stay submerged.

 
Been playing around with the flow on my tank.

I bought some new wavemakers, but even on the lowest setting, they seemed too powerful. So I'm going to send them back.
Put in the Nero 3 from my old tank and think I've got something that works now.


Now sure if the duncans getting too much flow or if the torch isn't getting enough.
