I know somewhere that will make a 96 x 24 x 24 for you at a cost of 245 gbp.
Bare tank, not stand or hood etc. Can do any custom mods too for drilling etc.

They do 48 x 24 x 24 for 165 gbp.

They will pretty much make anything you ask for.

They made my 36x24x24 and i have been happy with it.

All of the L134's i have seen (approx 8-10) have much thicker bands, maybe 3 or 4 times the thickness of the ones shown. The general colouration looks similar, but i dont think the body shape is.

Maybe you could try and get some clearer pics?

I have seen the same thing in tanks using tap water.

Going RO was the best thing i did.

I use BD sand and I am very happy with it.
It doesnt clog like normal sand. I still run something through it every now and again to be sure. But it doesnt compact down in the same way.
In fact, I am going to buy another bag tomrrow for my 75gal tank.

Hi guys,

He eats OK, produces waste OK.

No strange smells at all. Very weird.

I agree completely with all four points. I don't think you should change the current method.

If this was the only thing I could come up with, in response to your request for ideas, then it shows you are doing a fine job.
