I'm so confused...are they both 150gal, or are they both 75gals and it equals 150? They don't really seem that large! LoL! Nice set up though! you should put the CA cichlids in the bottom and put SA cichlids...mainly Crenicichla...hehe...and Geophagus/Satanoperca in the top tank! :D AWESOME!

I had it custom-built in a metal shop. :) Don't have the skills for that.

@managuense-fury, ash & redtailfool, thanks for the compliment.
@mAri & kido, thats what I like about this particular argentea. Red devil said it was a female although I've never seen it lay eggs. But it seems to be too tame to be a male. It does chase around the regani a little bit, but I never seen the regani with tattered fins. By the way, this is the regani that I safekeep for spyke. It's nearly 12 inches tip to tip.

that's spyke's regani? nice :).. if the regani's at 12", how big is your argentea now? get some more close up pics of those two, i'd love to see them in person one of these days ;)

Ooops, i meant spyke's argentea. My bad. The regani is around 5 inches only. This is the one with the gill plate damage. I have a regular and goldback regani. They're both around 8 inches and housed alone in 50G tanks. I'll take more close up photos tonight. :)

Thanks! I tip my hat to the guys at the ironworks. It's really just iron angle bars and pipes. Its the black paint that makes it somewhat streamlined. :)
By the way, I bought this tank as an anniversary gift for myself. 2 years of quitting smoking. :headbang2
