Yo, Kanta!! What brand is your silica sand? I like how light it is, only problem is that you can see all the poop really well... Looks great btw!

Thanks Guys. Erica it's Granusil silica sand, $5 for 50 lbs at my local hardware store. Cheap and effective.

Jon I would paint it but I dont want to tear it down. When I mover I am going to paint all my tanks for sure.

Sorry for the double post of the picture. Here's the other one I meant to post. God I hate those gaudy filler plants and that mopani wood.

Well I couldn't stand that holey rock in there either. So I took it out and put a different piece of wood. I was going to get my second fluval 404 but the guy backed out. So I'm stuck with 2 emperor 400s a fluval 404 and a sponge filter. One of my clown loaches got eaten so I'm down to 8 now which sucks because it was my favorite one. I traded off my red severums so they are gone now too. Stocking atm is 1 jag, 1 gt, 1 sveni pike, 1 belly crawler pike, 8 clown loaches and 2 bn plecos. I can't wait till my festae get bigger.

Here's 2 pics without the rock just driftwood. I went rock hunting today and found some neat pieces I might add in later. I dont know yet.

It's already up against a wall? Damn... Yeah, when you move it. :D

I feel your pain though. I want to spend some serious t.l.c. time on sanding and buffing my acrylic tank but I certainly do not have the motivation to break the whole tank down and move all the fish.

Ok it's been awhile since an update. Tomorrow I am going to pick up a black background so that will make it look much better. And I just ordered a really nice piece of manzanita from manzman. Should be here in a week and some odd days. Will post pics when I recieve that.

Nice tank! One fx5 would have been sufficient.
