Ok, now that I am over the shock of seeing your tank, here are some comments

-unreal poly collection- argueably the finest on MFK and NA balanced beautifully with quality dithers
-fantastic aquascaping-driftwood, plants substrate
Top notch engineering- sump, canister,plant filtration and LED lighting

All of the above housed in an a Monster 8 foot tank

You sir have raised the bar high

Monster polys for a monster tank for a monster fish keeper! It looks beautiful, definitely one of the nicer tanks around

This thread of yours can never end..... Awesome once again!

That green intake tube on the left is slanted and an eyesore. Now you got to start everything all over again ! :)

Thanx for the kind words brother!! But..... I feel silly that I had to put the Eheim 2262 outside the stand but I have the stand packed with two sumps (I'll post some pics soon).

it's true.. THIS IS AMAZING!
all the bichirs look happy and they have a lot more space now! but just 1 question, no top dweller?
Finally! Something you approve of!!! As for your last question, this is a TRUE poly tank with all other fish needing a FUNCTION to be in that tank.....the eartheaters sift through the sand all day & the SDs eat the smaller particles of food the bichirs do not eat.....I can't think of a top dweller that would be beneficial to the polys..... the polys are sooo happy now....most are gaining incredible girth..... I love it.

These pics were taken about two weeks ago. At the time I had blue lights used by reefers in addition to my current set-up, hence the blue tint. That congicus is my newest addition at almost 20"s & has like a yellowish base color which looks totally different than the rest of my congis.
