Well after much ado and help from you guys I got the decor redone and new filtration now I have some pics to share. First is a full tank shot not great but I just got the camera. Second is of some saulosi. Third is a sideshot of the tank, I just redid the rocks as they were leaning forward so I will have to grab another picture. Followed by pics of my FX5, Eheim 2229 Wet/ Dry, Turbo Twist 18W UV Sterilizer, and lastly my fry tank. I have 7-9 Bristlenose 1", 5 small Mloto Midninghts less than 1", 5 Saulosi .5", 13-16 Eureaka Reds just stripped, 16 Saulosi Fry/ egg guys waiting till the egg disappears a bit more before releasing them. In my tank I already have 2 more Saulosi holding and when I took the rocks apart found a bunch of bristlenose eggs aready again. Tomorrow I get 15 Albino Eureaka Reds that I will keep 5-7 and the rest will go to my brother, BIL and possibly a breeder friend then Friday I will be getting 3 Wild Caught Mloto Midnights. Wish them the best as its been warming up but its still chilly out, thanks for solid styro boxes and extra heat packs I hope :) Now to the Pics:

Great set up , really like the sand. Great filters but do you think the uv sterilizer is an over kill. Do you have parasite problems or alage . I have African tanks myself and never needed a u.v.s..

Its jsut for overkill:headbang2 The tank is overfiltered overstocked and beautiful and gets the best of the best pretty much. Here is a relink of the Albinos don't know why it didn't show up before. I'm also going to grab some pics later of my electrical setup.

and my updated rock structure. Oh yeah that Jack Dempsey is in transition waiting for the weather to break so I can move a tank to my wifes massage room for him.

Love it! sand, fish, rocks, filters, pictures. --awesome. The only down-side is all the visible plumbing. It is hard to hide it all. Other than that small detail, stunning. you should be very proud of the fruits of your labor.:clap
 
Great tank. congrats!

I love the look the sand give the tank.
Is it hard to keep the white sand looking good?
or can you just let it go and not worry about build up?


:drool:
 
Sand is easy to keep clean as I do 2 30-50% water changes each week. the way the filters are set up they catch alot of it but the rest I just suck off the bottom as it mostly piles in one spot on the tank. The plumbing is only visible with the doors open but it runs completely silent. The stand could be bigger as getting the 10 out to clean the filters is kinda a PITA as I have to drain 50% to lift it out but until it gets nice enough to move it to the basement it keeps my small house looking organized.

Thanks

Craig
 
That's an awesome African tank.
