120 Build Complete

So not really a "monster fish" tank. But one I have been wanting to do a while. Let me know what y'all think.

Stock so far is 8 Blushing Blue Angels, 6 keyhole cichlids, 10 Bronze Corydoras.
I'm going to add a couple plecos and lemon Tetras sometime soon.

Lighting is 5 work lights with 6500K CFl bulbs. Been like this 2 weeks, plants seem fine. A little growth but not much, although I don't expect much. They are all slow growing low light plants.

Looks great man. Should be a nice naturalistic home for those fish.
Personally I would have gone for LED lighting. Cheap ebay fixtures are great and the ripple effect looks cool on the sand. But still looks good like this, just my .02.

I appreciate the feedback! Still planning on a led strip but I'm going to use a small strip that will just provide the shimmer. Not really wanting a algae explosion or plants getting too much light. I only run these 4-5 hours a day as is.
