Gee, yes, it does look like a lot of fish in there, but they all make an appearance about ten times each! _________________ Hils

The bubbles...the bubbles...(quoting Nemo)
You do have some nice looking mature fish in that tank. They all look in very good health as well.
What stock do you have? I'm not sure if you've listed everything but it would probably be good to check that you're within your stocking limit.
From memory a tank your size will hold around 70". _________________ Becky

Thanks!
Well, I'll have to sit down and think what we've got in there..... gosh, if only allowed 70" then probably far too much by the time they all reach adulthood.
The ten silver dollars, three clowns, the plec, the 3 angels and the CAE probably come to 70 ????? _________________ Hils

Shiny water.... mmmm, well, we've had a few issues recently by replacing our pump head ~ the new pump head seemed to find dirt and debris from goodness knows where, so I've had quite a few water changes recently. The last one found previously hidden muck in the filter unit ~ half of which escaped into the tank, so gotta do yet another hoover up this weekend.
Thanks for your comment tho ! _________________ Hils

you may find that its just a high amount of lighting so everything lights up well.
If Hillie uses carbon regularly that can also 'brighten' up the water (as it removes impurities and organic thingies that can slightly dull the water) _________________ Adrian

My Clowns are dipping their fins in thanks for the lovely comments
I must have taken about a million photos just to get a few where the fish are in focus
I'm still trying to get the tank looking as I want it to.... still not quite right but I will put some more photos up when I'm happy with it!
Thanks again for the lovely comments... my Clowns are real characters! _________________ Hils
