we have setup this tank a few weeks back with the material used.

still Mahasin was adamant that we use garden soil, so what we have done now is used 1 inch of garden soil first, then topped it off with  around 3 inches of well washed beach sand,

in a few month, the soil will compact and will take up less than 2 inches.

i will keep updating the progress pictures of this recent project.

i have started planting this tank and it will take a few months to set it up right.

we have recently come across a new Philips PL light (pdf), read more here  . Which is giving us good results and in the following weeks, i will be upgrading all my light to this one. we have placed 2 of these lights in this setup, plus one tubelight. Rahman think that 100 Watts bulbs are best, and i agree with him but they consume too much electricity and give off alot of heat.

This is new technique used by robbers.
