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

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
