crayfish "craybitat" setup tank journal - Page 9

your pictures improves tremendiously!! no more reflections!!

can see the setup better now and find that it looks really nice..
one thing I notice is that the filter inlet might be too high.. if lower I think it will be better..

your waterfall is created by powerhead? if yes, with powerhead out of water, I think not very good because it might get overheated, correct me if I'm wrong..

the waterfall is created by the outlet of my eheim filter.

The height of the

intake is at it's maximum already, cannot lower anymore. thanks for the

compliment. Cheers!

You put some solution to make the water clear one la, bacteria or clear water also can. Haha.

The water blur cause my hand shake. LOL. In real life the water is pretty crystal

clear.

emmersed Nanas to help soften my scape and to help maintain my water quality.

Now I'll pass the talking to my pictures

. HEHE. Cheers! Crabs to be coming

Extremely nice bro. i've always keep a look out for ur thread popping up in bold. and today is a good find for me.

but.. arent lobsters itchy pincers critters?? i have two 3-4 inch common cray and they happy happy cut my plants. abit irritated from picking up the plants remains.

thanks!

but your plants were like emmersed or submerged? Cause mine are like

emmersed so i think damage wont be that bad. Plus im going to add in

duckweeds too. So their attention will not be concentrated to only my nanas.

hehehe. im going to test this tank with my crab pretty soon. Just searching for

that "xing you ling xin" one

alright guys. sorry for a long period of "dormancy" I've just added in two sulawesi

crabs and they're doing fine now. Always hiding in my maze of rocks and coming

out only now and then. I've also kind of rearranged my rocks layout alittle. I'll

now just let the pics do all the talking.
