Here is my 7 foot tank, all setup in my house, just waiting on sand. It came with 5 large gourami (jhutch had them before) The fish are settling in my 6 foot tank nicely , i decided to make that a community tank so i can get different kinds of fish i like. Here are some pics:


Here are the gourami :

Is this your post in the other forum? link (http://www.cyphos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20058)...

If so give this DIY overflow a look. It's cheap, and works very well. Look for post # 653 and read up on it. diy overflow diagram (http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15733&page=33)

Are you going to use a substrate in the Front tank?

Thanks for all the nice comments. i really like the tank. It was jhutch who owned it before. he is a member here.(mostly south americans i think)

Yes, i have ordered and am waiting on fine jet black sand (comparable to tahitian moon sand) I have had a problem with the order. They accidently shipped my sand to another customer and i got their sand. So they re shipped it and it is overdue and has not arrived yet. He told me it should have been here on thur or fri. He is starting from scratch today and completly re doing the order . so i hope to have my sand by this thur at the latest. I am also going to paint the background flat black. I have everything i need to do it ready and sitting by the tank, just chicken. Need some encouragement from you all lol.

GET SOME HOLEY ROCK. As my wife says it will really pop on that black, but it will give some white to pull out other shades in the fronts.

I dont like it for fronts, my luck they would damage themselves on it. I like it for mbuna though. Check out the new thread i did after i painted the background.

Thanks Jeff. Couldn't have done it with out ya. When we carried it in the house i thought this is gonna be perfect for when they get real big. It has both the lenghth and height to pull off a large colony.

Thanks again for all the help with getting the swap done.
