Def a tusk! Awesome fish

 

[bettaowner]

I agree. A tusk fish is the best. So beautiful.

 

[SWSCJ]

Looking at adding a Tusk as well. The Australian is the way to go, IMO.

 

[AusAaron]

Yeah they are a sweet fish. Might b the first added what did u guys use to glue your plumbing. Is normal plumbers glue fine

 

[AusAaron]

Got the overflow sorted last night. Just need a fitting so i can connect an airline to the caps on the top of each pipe and all done



Sump is in... Now to plumb the pipes around it

 

[SWSCJ]

Standard glue and primer is all I've ever used.

Black or blue background ????? :/ any thoughts. Was thinking black for that dark predator feel

 

[SWSCJ]

Black. I used black sand for our lagoon tank. The fish's colors really stand out.

Kewl. Thanks. Ill check out ordering some in. Your lagoon looks awesome. Whats that spotted fish

 

[furrymurray]

I have the moon sand in two of my tanks. Got it from Foster and Smith. I really like it for the looks and it is also a heavier sand. so if you have fish that like to stir up the sand, it settle very quickly and doesnt get sand everywhere

Spotted grouper
