[awth]

Have been doing it little by little for 2-3months, finally, it is done to my expectation. Shame that spaces in Hong Kong is pricy , to you guys, this may be only be a joke! But what the hack, let's have a look at what a fish room would look like in Hong Kong!

[Noddy65]

pimp my apisto room

ha ha

[ILLUSN]

ONE OF THE BETTER SETUP I'VE SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my wife wishes my fish room looked like that :D

[para]

That is the exact reaosn I think I will never move back to HK. Space is too precious for any tanks.

Love your setup and also your dedication.

Cheers
Para

I live in a Townhouse so I can relate to the issue of space...

You have handled the problem extremely well....Love the racks!
I assume they are stainless steel?

[Namn8r]

That is shlick! I wish i had a fish room like that!! What an awesome setup!

[starreys]

your fishroom is awesome, very slick, my husband is off to hong kong in 2 weeks i wish we had the same wattage becuase i would luv him to bring me back some filters.

[Th0mas]

Electrical goods should be fine - as long as they're from reputable brands (properly tested).

The only concern is to change the plug, and loosing the warranty to the good.

Filters would be heavy/bulky to carry though.

[Ben]

Excellent set up mate!

I like the way its all organised, clean and tidy!

Great work!

Cheers
Ben

[KillieOrCory]

Wow!

I love looking at tidy and clean fishrooms. I would love to spend hours in that room!

Pity my fishroom looks like a war zone!!!

[Robdog]

Great fishroom awth. The staino shelves look a lot better than my hammer lock system ever did. Great job.

[dreamer]

problem with plug is easy ..just get an adaptor :)

[AussieStar]

[starreys]

hi

what is the substrate you use in this pic http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l167/awth_hk/IMG_0030.jpg if i may ask,

your set up is immaculate, must be a joy to have

[taksan]

Sensational setup !!!!
Tanks looks amazing !!!!

:wave2

[fish_r]

thats a stunning setup, can see how ud'e think it maybe a joke to us in Aus, i would love to have something like that. looks like a work of art :)
i especially love the third planted tank from the bottom...

[Roy]

Looks like ADA tanks (can see the stickers on some of them) so im assuming its Amazonia soil ?
Would help with the pH for the apistos and the plants.
Love the setup, it really does look good.
Wonder how many powerpoints are used....

Sorry for the be-lated reply, that's my CRS tank, the soil are a Japanese brand made specially for CRS (sorry, I don't know its name in English), which has a ph 6.2, kH1 and gH1. It is pretty much the same with ADA black soil, however it doesn't cloud the water and low in nutrient for plants and cost 3 times more than ADA!!!! :shock: :shock:

In the foreground, I add a layer of ADA black soil powder, for the need of the plants! :wink:

I do use ADA soil on the tanks on the window sill, they are not so cloudy, aren't they? :D

[Roy]

Awth, we had a few issues with some ADA soil in Australia, cloudy tanks and such.
Havent had any problems with mine though.

What is CRS ??

Hi Roy, that's what I heard from my friends too about the cloudiness of ADA soil, however, the powder type are fine.

CRS is Crystal Red Shrimp!

[Roy]

Ahh cool, more stuff we dont have here.

Roy

[Cuong]

Great looking setup, very tidy stuff.

And I wished we had a good supply of CRS here too!

[awth]

[Roy]

Nice stuff Awth.
Wish i could setup a nice rack system like that.
How are you running filtration and what about water changes ?

Roy

[eykw]

WOW :shock:

[Robdog]

How effective are those guys at algae control?

[Namn8r]

Do you need a house mate? Ill move in and sleep under one of the fish racks!

[awth]

Nice stuff Awth.

Roy

I use individual filter for each tank.
Small tanks and 24" on the window sill
I am using Dazs 100, which is made in Taiwan.
Max current flow about 300l/h, with filter media,
obviously, its function decline,
and I drill holes on the rain-pipe to make the current more suitable.

Adoketa tank - Tetra EX 90

CRS tank - Tetra EX120 X 2

Water change - I made a outflow pipe under the ground for water-out. Water-in via a pre-filter system directly into the tanks.

[awth]

How effective are those guys at algae control?

Very................................... ineffective, in fact, they have no taste for aglea at all! They are all spoiled!!! :evil:

[awth]

Do you need a house mate? Ill move in and sleep under one of the fish racks!

Hahaha..... only if you bring along 2 Aus hot babe!!!! Welcome anytime!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Ben]

I WANT some CRS!!

[fish_r]

when ever/who ever someone manages to get them into Aust "legally" they will make an absolute killing...

[Robdog]

They are here, you just gotta find them ;)

[gurds]
