NEW!: 120G tank shots with new lighting

[NatetheGreat]

hey guys just put my 5k light strip in the tank and the fronts actually seem to like it more. They are not hiding as much and swimming around

Let me know what you guys think










im going to dim the light by putting something in front of the light to give it that more depth look eventually

Im assuming your wanting to dim the light inside the tank so I would suggest trying an inexpensive window film from the local hardware store. I bought the really cheap stuff because its kinda purplish. Works great for my Moba.

The Moba and the setup are really coming along nicely. Thx for all the interesting photos. The male looks kick !@#. Did you say he is 10"?

Hey Nate,
The fish look great! I bet they are much happier with your sand bottom than in the bare tanks they were coming from. Great job on the tank set up too! That's a lot of hard work and your fish will be happy because of it for many years to come.
Enjoy.

Thanks a bunch guys i think im going to put a film under the light to kinda lighten it a bit. I notices though once i put the light in the fish came out and started to swim a bit more.

I think its going to take a couple of days for them to settle in a bit.
I did a 15% water change yesterday so that may have helped as well.


one thing i did notice is one of my females are turning on there side to rub there body on the sand. I noticed this as well with my old mpimbwe group

any insight would be great

thanks again michael, martin, and nuetrino
