sand looks easier for them than rocks mine seems to be lost in the rocks maybe i shall change what type of sand?

 

[jenny]

I found it was easier to suck the poop up to as it used to fall between the rocks and get missed now when i see one i suck it out straight away! I got mine from a big fish centre but its normal sand you just have to wash it alot, there are people on her with coloured sand which look good too.

 

[hayley-jane]

wow, that is a gorgeous HUGE tank!!

How big is it?

I like the way you have decorated it too.

 

[hayley-jane]

Where did you get the white sand and ornaments from?

I'm thinking about changing my tank decoration

 

[casey]

Jenny! That's a beautiful set-up!

I love your ornaments! Are the plants fake or real?

The tank is a wonderful shape and size.

Can I ask how much your tank cost? If you don't mind, that is.

 

[apryl]

Wow Jenny,they look great!That big tank is awsome,you will be the envy of a lot of us! lol

I'm also a big fan of the sand. I bought regular pool filter sand for mine. It's not as pretty as play sand or colored sand, but it is MUCH better than the river rock I had.

beautiful tank.

 

[rheann]

Beautiful tanks! Great work

Isobel - Play sand works just fine. You can pick it up at garden centers or home improvement centers. just make sure to wash it really well before you put it in. It usually says on the packages pre-washed, but wash it anyway because dust collects on it

Bless you all for your lovely comments, My big tank is 48" x 20" and has about 10" of water depth, and my smaller one is 36" x 20" with about 10" water depth again, I got most of my stuff locally and over time as they are not cheep lol.
Hayley i think yours suits your axy alot

but i know what you mean always getting new ideas it's the same with fish tanks lol
Casey the plants are fake but are the fabric ones as look a little more real and are softer,
and the tank cost me £45 new.

I also prefer sand to big pebbles it's easier to clean and I hated the noise they made when the moved around whilst cleaning, like fingers on a chalk board

.
Solaris is in the bowl Its my little one too small to go in with the big ones yet but i float it as the larger the volume of water the less dramatic the temperature change, if on the side it changes all the time..
I hope my axys like it anyway ( bet they do)

Think i've covered everyone lol,
And thank you again its nice to now what you all think

 

[hayley-jane]

Thanks Jordan and Jenny

Its just that I come on here, see so many cool new ideas for tanks and then I wanna change EVERYTHING in mine! lol

It's all Jon Burn's fault - have you seen the background on his tank?? Its GORGEOUS!! I soooo want to make one over X-mas.

Maybe I'll keep the western theme and make the background like canyons or something lol

 

[si]

Hayley, you should get this background, it would fit perfectly with your wild west tank!

You can get it here

 

[rheann]

Wow! Haley I think would like that background it's very "western" Wild Wild West, oh Wild Wild West! Haley, Elsa just needs a cowboy hat and some cute little cowboy boots!

Now if only Sea horses were fresh water.... lol.

 

[jenny]

I know what you mean about that background it looks so so cool, I like to use the whole tank tho.

 

[john]

That background is sooo cool!
