12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

clowns in the 150..they look very good against the black.

the next step is adding decor and some algae eating control...

get a Fei Feng they work great on algae plecos suck

 

[12 Volt Man]

yeah, I would like to add one. I used to have one: shown here as my sterbai cory cat was 'cleaning' it LOL

 

[12 Volt Man]

I am thinking about leaving it at the trio of loaches to ease up on tank space rather than replacing the one that jumped... it still looks good with three and they seem happy together

everyone is small now..but not for long..lol

new pick ups in the bag in the 20g quarentine:

4 bushy nose pleco
1 more clown loach (yes I gave in

)
1 Golden Severum

 

[12 Volt Man]

Did a water change, added some fake plants and a tube for the loaches...

nothing fancy. my tanks have always been more about the fish than the decor, because the fish always get so big there isn't much room for decor

Very Nice. How's the black gravel working out for you? I'm debating on black sand or gravel for my next setup.

Nice Gold Sev, btw

 

[12 Volt Man]

thanks. so far so good with the black Estes Gravel.

I have been using it for the last few years with no probs, but I have read of some having problems with the paint chipping off.

might be some bad batches out there??

thought I would throw in a pic I took the other day right after the water change - thats where all the bubbles came from lol

it shows the orange colour coming in on the lemon fins...
