i've had it setup for around two months now and I can finally house my gar and ornate. I have also added a clown knife and an achara catfish. the achara has been on my wish list for two years and one of my all time favorite fish. so i'm very happy then i can care for one and semi-appropriately house it. The clown has also been on my list for awhile but not as long as the achara. Temporary stock is also a red tail payara, ropefish and channel catfish. I fear that the ropefish and payara may get eaten or beat up by the achara or clown knife but I want them in the 180 till the achara pushes 12". the channel catfish is a grow out for my 1400 gallon outdoor pond.

Here is the tank being set-up. It only took two people with a dolly to move it.

And after adding 150 pounds of PFS, some driftwood, live plants and river rock, it has come together. as the fish get bigger i'll take the rocks out and replace the three small driftwood pieces with 1-2 very larger pieces.
