Donna Wildwood 288 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 lol! Not koi there are 2 of them in my avatar pic! 4 fantails 2 of em with only one eye each, 1 with deformed eyes, one with half a tail and a ranchu thing. I seem to collect broken fish Northern Lad, It came with an aqua one 1250 external canister, and I have the 750 external in my current tank so can move that over. Am building a stand for it, got to build a lighting unit too, but I'm not worrying with a hood as i want to grow some of the plants emmersed so their roots can strip the nitrates out the water The good thing is, the current fish tank has paid for this one just from selling aquatic plants and red ramshorn snails! Bonus! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Donna Wildwood 288 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yes please! how much do you want for it? Goldies have a reputation for destroying plants but mine are well behaved. But then I feed them veg and put duckweed in specially for themm to munch on. I have 19 different plant species growing in mine, from bacopa to tiger lotus To my reckoning, the tank will hold 720 liters :D:D Its 5 foot by 2 foot by 2 1/2 foot!
