Freshwater Aquarium Photography This is the photography forum for the FW section. It's a dedicated forum to post pictures of some of the things in our tanks, pics of new additions, as well as for great information exchange, tips, tricks, and overall just discussing cameras and photography techniques of our tanks. Learn all about apertures, f-stops, ISOs, macro, flashes, white balance, and anything and everything else that drives us crazy to get a masterpiece shot. Feel free to show off your tanks in here, and plus its a great way for humble people to nonchalantly have their tanks nominated by the other members for Tank Of The Month. Don't be shy!

Default Maingano tank

The maingano colony have moved into the 5ft. They are absolutely loving the extra room and zipping in and out the hardscape.

Feedback welcome

I like the way you have the landscape laid out, everything just seems to belong. Very nice.

Tank emptied of rock and wood, 1 piece of rock left in for the loaches to hide behind. Maingano are now gone.

Shortly will catch the loaches and move them into a container while i empty out the gravel. Will then throw in the PFS i have, i will definately need more, but its far more pricey than my normal play sand *L*
Am not planning on fully emptying out the tank at this stage so may even leave the loaches in while i change it.. To do a drastic change over to full rainwater will shock the loaches, so will slowly change over the coming weeks while i continue adding things to the tank.
I expect it will be at least 4 weeks until tank is ready for the new fish type

Tank now has the main gravel out, just the odd bit left. The water is gross, the filters will clean it up (then i will need to clean them lol). Once it clears some i will syphon out any remaining gravel and heavier debris.

Loaches are not amused with all the goings on!

And wait you will lol

It is a cloudy mess at present. Dumped some rocks and a few bits of wood back in there for the loaches and BN. Once i get all the new decor most of whats in there will move out again.

Will pick up another bag of PFS this week hopefully. Then i can start buying Val and get started planting.
Am stopping off on my way to work and grabbing, what i hope, will be a suitable start to the wood part of the tank, then i can get it soaking and in place for it to be planted

Cant wait til it comes together myself.

Though i will warn you the fish are darned expensive, so i will have to buy 1-2 at a time. So do not expect a fully stocked tank straight away lol
