Well I realised that you may not know what the Aquaray lights look like so this is just two of them as you can see they are kinda bright but they work great in my tank

Yayyy I have the new tank and its all set up !!
So here are a few pics that Ive taken and I hope you like them



first two pics are where the new tank is going to go



Next two are starting the build of the tank and NO thats not me lol thats the guy that delivered and then set up the
tank for me



Nearly there...



And there it is all finished !!! The water is still cloudy from adding the water with the sand so its all stired up


And here is My first fish called "Ellen..." Also you can see two red corrals that I have in the tank



And now to show you the lighting upgrade Ive done. The first one is with the original light tubes I got with the Tank
The second one is with the light tubes and two of the Aquaray light sticks



The third is just the two Aquaray light sticks notice the difference in colour that just two of them make concidered with
the two ordinary light tubes



Fourth all four Aquary light sticks installed. Two of the light sticks have both blue and white led's one has just all white
and the last is all blue and Im sure you will agree the lighting is much better with the Aquarys




The last pic is of just the one blue Aquaray giveing the "moonlight" effect



I will add more pics as I add more things to the tank

its been a while

Well its been a long while since Ive made any updates to my fish blog so thought I would make one concidering my future plans. Im going to upgrade my fish keeping by keeping a marine tank!! In the next few weeks I will be getting My new tank the guy Im buying it from is comming to deliver it and set it up for Me, and yes I will be supplying pics of the set up.
Ive also upgraded the Bristlenose tank by removeing the internal filter and installing a much bigger external filter which does the job perfectly, but after a few weeks I noticed that in the one part of the tank there was a "dead" area where crap and bits of waste were building up which means there wasnt enough water flow and circulation in the tank. So refering to the research I had done for the marine stuff I hit on the idea of useing a small powerhead which basicly is a small propeller encased in a plastic cage with lots of spaces in order to suck in water and then a nozzel to push out that water. Using it I now have plenty of water circulation, the sand seems way cleaner and the fish seem much much perkyer, so its just what my tank needed. I wioll be supplying a pic of it soon plus I will be uploading step by step picks on the new tank when I get it
