Re: New 100g SAP tank

The SAPs are doing good. Five of them are happily eating frozen food (mostly mysis) but two are still holding out for the snails and shrimp. More photos coming soon.

Re: New 100g SAP tank

No it's only 20x18", it's designed for dwarf cichlids. I have about 40-50 Apistogramma Baenchi in there right now with tetras, corys, ottos and amano shrimp.

Re: New 100g SAP tank

Really good photos, very well done! On that first photo, I like the 2nd tank down, that's nice. :D What's in there? I'd like to have a set-up like that. Is the shelving attached to the wall by chance? All the small tanks has just cherry shrimps and amano shrimp fry right now. I haven't decided what...

Re: New 100g SAP tank

Here are some quick photos taken with my iPhone so the quality is really bad but it should give you an idea of the setup. My 200g show tank is behind the wall and uses the same sump.

Re: New 100g SAP tank

If you're in the UK, I have some MS222, that I could send you a little of when you need it. If you prefer to get your own, it is a prescription medicine, so is only available from your vets, or with a written prescription from them so that you can get it from an on-line pet pharmacy. Its not cheap ...

Re: New 100g SAP tank

You don't really need to add tankmates for it to be interesting. A school of tetras would work, though, I should think, and they will enjoy the planted tank. Yes some tetras will probably work. I have dwarf cichlids, Apistogramma Baenchi, in my other tanks but I don't know how they will work with S...

New 100g SAP tank

Hi I'm setting up a new 100g tank for south american puffers. The tank is/will be quite heavily planted with lots of bogwood and fine sand. It's hooked up to the same sump as my other tanks including a large 200g planted show tank. I inject co2 and auto-dose ferts. Water quality shouldn't be a probl...
