My TVR aquarium set up

[devins23]

These are videos of my 11 baby TVR's in their 125 gallon aquarium set up with two Aquaclear 110 and 4 hydro sponges. I have 4 or 5 Itohs and 6 or 7 Sugis. They are about 6 month old now in these videos taken today. Video quality is OK - I was using my Iphone to videotape. They are about 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches now. + or -comments welcome.

Dev,

Lookin good bro! Your setup looks good (tons of filtration/ is that four Hydro sponge V filters?). Im impressed w/ it. I like that red one out of your favorite pair. Cant see much details but looks promising.

Congrats on the 3Gs too!

Haha! You definitely live in NYC- I can hear the sirens. Its probably all day long, huh? I also hear the Filipino channel - must be dinner timeB-)

Keep doing what youre doing, bro. The TVR's look healthy & active. Perhaps more emphasis on frozen BW or protein for the wen development but im sure itll come (im still working on mine:confuse:).

With 2 aquaclear 110's goin, there seems to be a good waterfall output drop. How's the current? noise level?

Nice set up...

Ross: He turns off his ACQ110s.

[devins23]

Thanks Ross - they were at some point in a fz bloodworm diet only but was not growing fast enough. I feed them a mix of pellets and fz bloodworm but wen growth is slow. Hopefully the wen will improve better in a month or two with chanko food added to their diet (once I get them from Paul) :)

Water quality is good - cosidering they get fed sometimes up to 10 or 12 times a day with only 2 or 3 20% water change a week. I attached one of those aquarium dividers to the aquaclear 110 outflow section and arranged it so that the water flows right on the aquarium wall. That's why you see two big rubber bands around each aquaclear. Water flow is much quiter now and the current doesn't even affect the fish because the water hits only the edge of the tank and when it does it's not as strong current - the fish loves to play under it, lol. And yes those are 4 hydro V - I added two more this weekend. There's also a bag of crushed corals next to the Hydros.

I'll post better pics and vids once I get a new camera, haven't had a chance to get one ever since I broke my old one during my last trip.

Thanks,
Dean

:) look again Fred.
ahh.. I need my coffee. :coffee:

[suphi]

They look to be the same size as mine. I have a hard time keeping the tank clean like yours, they're really messy.

[devins23]

Yeah they are very messy. I scoop their poop 2x a day. The morning time is the worst. Luckily the water never gets cloudy thanks to the filters.

I like your number 1 best too...... But they all look useful, though some look short bodied, but may just be the pic or their full of food bellies.
