New African Cichlid Tank

It's was around 7.8 when I checked last.

that ok what your temp at
and were did you get that
rock work from

It's at a steady 80F. I bought the rocks from strikes and Peter barratts. It's just slate from the garden section.

how much a llb just been to a place
slate 9.00 a llb

They didn't sell it per pound, it was about £10 for three rocks regardless of the size. Some are huge and some are small. Can imagine its allot less than £9 a pound.

will have to take a look
some that slate looks
like it will split down nice

I tried to get a brick chistle through it and it was as hard as nails! Should manage with a good sharp chistle though. Peter barratts didn't have much left when I was there but strikes had loads.

cheers will take a stroll over sometime

i like that slate also next time im aquascaping i think im going to get some

Arghh wish this nitrite would drop! I hate waiting!

im like that also lol impatient

You have to patient young man. You could have high nitrite for a while before it drops.

very nice ado like em more pics as u add to these plz

Cracking looking tank mate, some nice looking fish too : )

Cheers mate, I've just taken the largest rocks out this morn to give a bit more swimming space. Think I prefer it.

Yer Gaps n Aluncora need plenty free swimming areas.

Mate that looks awesome, I cant wait to get my slate in tonight and have something similar. Real inspiration.

Cheers mate, have quite a bit less slate in there now for more space and I've just put a small piece of bog wood in for the bristlenose's.

Can't wait to see them colour up as they get bigger. Having a real problem with nitrate though, seems like no matter how much water I change its still in there!

My nitrate is fine its the nitrite im having an issue with, I dropped nearly all the water the other day and its still high. I've even tried nitrite remover and I know its still their as the tiger barbs are nose down. Do I need bogwood for bristlenose.

bogwood or curio i reckon mate, i have a couple of pieces of curio wood in and the bristlenoses seem to love it the wood helps there digestion i think?

I'll get some wood sorted for them.

It's there equivalent to All-Bran
