5ft tank

Well, let me say, moving the 5ft was a bloody nightmare!

The poor fish were bagged for 1 1/2 days, non heated, while the tank was pulled down, moved and reset up. Thankfully no losses though that i can see!!

The substrate has all mixed in, so it is no longer black, but i dont mind the look actually. The driftwood has also been rearranged differently, again i dont mind that either. The new look has made the fish use the entire tank more, which is great for viewing them.

The bristlenoses, Nosette and Spike, now live in the 5ft. They are doing an excellent job of keeping any new algae under control.

I grabbed a quick snap of the 5ft yesterday.....i'll try for better pics later

The tank is seriously low in plants, the algae bloom prior to the move made me cull a few of the plants out when i replanted. I'll slowly start to replace what was discarded in the weeks to come.
