Tank

Another fishy post, I'm afraid, but butubutubut !
After one year of saving and eating noodles and waiting and waiting....IT is here. IT : the new house of my scaled fellows.
I can't wait to watch my fishes swim inside it !


The water isn't clear yet, so it doesn't look like anything right now.

I've planted some plants (perched on a stepladder, and nearly falling inside the tank...) : one gorgeous echinodorus rubin, a bunch of lysimachia aurea, loads of cabomba, a few groups of vallisneria. I'll add anubias later : they have a deep green color, and tough leaves - no goldfish will eat this.
The stump of wood is still boiling.

It's quite impressive. I discovered the New Tank Syndrome. You know, the anxious days when you're afraid the tank or the stand might fall down, when you wake up in the middle of night to check on your tank ? *wink*

The only disappointing point (point point pointpoint!) is the filter which is way too noisy. Don't get a rena XP3 if you can avoid it, that's my advice. I'll try to find a way to dampen the noise, and a second filter is needed anyway, for goldfishes are well known for their cleanliness.

It's so hard to wait. Go on, nitrites, come on !
