After waiting for 2 + years for my L046 Zebras

[Charlyc11]

Finally after waiting for a month my new Acrylic 20 gallon tank showed up. Between yesterday and today I finished the bottom speckle paint and installed the rubber matt. Just starting on the build for the Zebras grow tank and other parts on the way. The pick is during water testing.

Looks great Chuck. What do you mean by “installed” the rubber mat?

Leveling matt, helps to distribute the strain and protect the bottom paint. It's a stick on.

Very nice mate. Do you have a link to the product?
Thx for the explanation

This is the one I got but they are others on Amazon different thickness and sizes. This is really good for acrylic tanks with flat smooth bottom.

Thank you Chuck!

Starting to cycle the grow out tank. Using mostly bacteria from sponge filter in the adult tank and boost with Fluval Cycle.

Update, new spawn today. Male fanning the eggs.



Into the breeder box for safety.

I hope so, nice big colony so I can start selling.

Second spawn I missed.

[AquaticNerd]

Haha, you're definitely going to start a pretty decent colony; here's hoping they all turn out well for you and can give you the ability to start selling.

The good thing is that I got my original 10 L046 group from different vendors.
