Hello guys

Here is a vid link of how it used to look and then due to a family issues kinda had to neglect giving it the time it requires will post in details of me taking down the current setup and starting the tank on a fresh slate i will. Post more information about the same soon

Cool!  Fish tanks are a cool hobby.  Lots of work for the impatient like me though.  :)

Had a salt water tank for years. Got to expensive and liked to travel so I sold it off. Great hobby but ties you down.

Apologize for not mentioning my tank specs

Its a 36X18X18 which is like 191 liters

For lights im using 5 led T5 of 10k kelvins each

For filteration i am using a ehiem 2217

With media like ceramic rings biorio and coarse med and fine filter pads this is the best i can get up until now

As for plants im sorry I can't post their names cause they are too tuff to be spelt

Thanks for reading. I hope to hear your comments on the scape

Just had to shut down my tanks

 

30 gallon Jack Dempsey

10 gallon tetras

5 gallon betta (only got that small a tank because the fish was homeless)

 

I'm not a seasoned fish-keeper but I am excited for the time when my life will allow for a tank again.

 

Yours already looks nice - - and you'll have so much more TIME for it cuz you aren't smoking
