New tank

[Whitey_MacLeod]

A few weeks back my kubotai and garra tank developed a leak in one corner. Money's a bit short at the moment, but I managed to get hold of a drilled and divided 4 foot shop tank cheap. It's been a bit of a scramble trying to get it set up, and I still need to make a hood for it, but I moved the first fish into it today- the four P. stoliczkanus from the cheni tank.
I'd like to give the tank a month or so to mature before adding more fish, but my kubs are currently in a 20g hex with no room to swim, and clearly massively stressed out, so I'll be adding them fairly soon. I saved all the media from the external filter- it's dived between the kub and garra tanks- so i should be able to avoid a cycle.

With substrate and manifold installed:


Rocks and wood added:


With plants scavenged from the cheni tank:




Needs more plants:


Fish:




And on an unrelated note, my cheni juveniles are growing well. Haven't seen any spawning for a long time now though:
