Hello everyone. Well here is a few shots of my re borned 450 gallon tank as promised. It's been running for almost a month now. It's far from being perfect. I'm having green water issues due to getting alot of sunlight...I ordered a UV already and just waiting for it to arrive. Anyhow sorry for my poor camera skills, these pics were taken with a blackberry.

Enjoy

The 2 largest monsters is a 22" Crossback Golden Asian Aro and a 23" Tigrinus Catfish. Both measured total length. The rest of the stock measures from 5" through 18" If u want to know what is the tank fully stocked with the stock list in in my sig.


These pics were taken about a month ago. The most recent pics are my 450 with a blue background. I'll take and share more shots once I have both my setups perfect.

Here is my new 75 gallon I just recently set up. Filtration running on this set up is 2 x AC110's and a Fluval G6 canister(found and picked up this filter brand new from a different forum at a steal cost. 280 CAD:) Had to give it a try hehe). I'm turning this tank into a Geophagus/Severum tank. One of my Redneck Rotkeil Severums looks pregnant. She been fat for about 5 days now. Looks like she's going to explode.

I know tank is bare so bare with me. I'm looking into some plants and driftwood in the near future. I just set this tank up couple days ago.

Nice tanks man, i'm jealous of your 450.

The female rotkiel is bloated, not "pregnant".

I recommend transferring it to a hospital tank, where you raise the temperature higher, some salt, and preferably a feed containing garlic.

There is also medicin to treat bloat.

Good luck, and keep us updated as the tanks progress

Thanks everyone. Damn the severum has bloat disease? I hope it makes it. I don't have any other tanks to place it in. My dad is already freaking out at me for setting up the 75...i guess i'll treat the the 75 with meds. Thanks for the advice.
