I love Jim's tanks!!!

The pottery that growls!

Jim , Great tanks Mate . Is that a log? you've got floating ?in the 55 .?
You've got some good looking plants in there .
Do you get good growth .? Do you have any Algae problems ?

Just interested in other peoples experiences .

Good looking tanks , well done .

Yes it's a floating "log" Its a fake one designed to float for the fish to play in and around. Funny thing is its my Clown Loaches and CAE that use it the other fish ignore it, for the most part. I have it tied into the corner with fishing line to keep it in that spot otherwise the current would move it to the other side of the tank. blocking out light to the Red Rueben Swords planted there.

Growth for most of the plants is slow but there is growth all over the tank. And as for Algae. I have very little algal growth, nothing the CAE can't handle.

Looking good Jim! I just noticed the log myself. I will have to say.......it is the first of it's kind I have ever seen.

What are those dark red fish in the tank that are shaped like Rainbows? If that's what they are, I didn't know they came in red?

Congrats on the zebra danio fry! That was a cool accident that happened.

great tank jim! whats ur WPG?

Thanks its about 2.6 Wpg 130 watt light for the 55. The log is commonly available here in the states at most LFS's that is the medium size.

And the dark red fish is a Rainbow the Glossolepis incisus (New Guinea Red).

Im not insane your insane thats why you think im insane so that makes us both insane....?

That a nice set up ... it gotta feel good to look at a tank like that the end of a hard day...i plan to eventually keep rainbow too..

I was think of getting the same log...when i read that it doubles as a feeding ring.. top hole keep food from hitting the bottom.. just wanted to ask if you tired and if so, comments on whether it works.

nice rainbows and moss
