Marco's 450L tank

Post by glenna » Sun Nov 15, 2009 7:54 pm

I was checking out the latest on different forums and read one of your comments, Marcos.
Anyway, at the bottom there is a link to a video of your loach tank.
WOW WOW WOW
that tank is BEAUTIFUL!
The combination of rocks, tubes and I guess that is driftwood at the top? Is just lovely. Strange to see that discus in there with all those lively loaches, but it is a nice bit of balance...and just a touch of plants. Everything is lovely and the focus in on the FISH! (Plus I love that LOACH painting above the tank. Did you paint it yourself, or have someone do it for you
perfect!!!

Now THIS is my next inspiration! (I have ordered a 125gallon tank for the living room and have been searching for some inspiration)
THANKS! :D :D :D

Hi,

Marco's 450 L tank is an inspiration for lots of loach keepers here in Brazil.

good luck with your tank.

Thanks for the nice words glenna!

Just added some new shots on my tank post. Just follow the link bellow.

As Dunga was saying, a few people in Brazil got some inspiration on my tank (he included :twisted: ) but what he do not know is that I have inspired myself to do the last change on my tank from his:

The Loach picture was given to me as a gift. There are pictures of it on my tank post as well:

About the Discus, he now lives on the other tank (200 L) with other 3.

No canisters here yet. They are very expensive. I think they are not worth it.

the inspiration I was saying was the use of the Koralia pump instead of the rivertank manifold.
