im prepaired for it cause i have a 125 with 4 fish left cuase 2 new fish i poped in there wiped out the tank then i got rid of them and now the tank is lonely with only 1 oscar and 3 loaches :( and i'm picking up a 135 one today hopefully, it's 6x1.5x2 with cherry oak stand
 
go with black gravel...or some nice sand mix white / blk....the blue gravel does not do the fronts justice..........:D

:iagree: :iagree:

Use sand if you go peacock they love to sift it after a meal and it is a great buffer

lose the pots and add something more natural too. It will make it look that much better...
 
if i loose the pots what will i use as caves and stuff?? pvc pipe?? i chose black and blue to go with the fronts... but since you guys say you dont really like it and its not natural i might switch or i'm too lazy too cause i'm working on a new project the 75 gallon peacock tank with sand and some rocks or maybe just pvc... its hard to find the texas holey rock and or any other rock that looks good with them... o and i just bought a 135 gallon tank today!! it was sweet!! im picking it up tuesday and now i need to make room for it...
 
Instead of pots use tuffa rock with holes in it and lance rock or texas hole rock... if its the cost lance or tuffa cost next to nothing and is a lot lighter in wieght and the tuffa is a buffer...
