Let me know you thoughts.

Building this thing in the wall has been a 3 month project that finally finished up this past weekend (except for painting the room). It's 72"Lx30"Hx24"W. It was an automatic water changer that is currently setup to change 30% once a week and adjustable as needed to handle bio-load. Am 0, Ni 0, Nirtrate 10-15, ph 7.5, temp 81-82 (sump pump keeps it at the temp).


Stock is 5 Oscars: (3-4" now)
  1. Tigar - Jake
  2. Red - Elwood
  3. Platnium - Whitey
  4. Wild caught (from Ecuador) - little boy (cause he was soo tiny when I got him
  5. Lemon (that's what the lfs called him, but I'm not sure) - Lemonhead
The tank has been filled for about 2 months now. The fish have been in there for about 4 weeks and seem to love it, they were in a 120 while this was being setup. The Lemon and espeically the Platnium are a little shy, but they love the plants. I can't get good picks of the moon lighting but it's awesome. The pic's are various lighting with and without flash.
