125 before (bare) and after ( sand added)

Especially for those who helped me decide on sand type

Now need to get the black background. Also going to get some type of large sword type fake plant to block the view of the sponge filters in the back-right corner.

I'm thinking of moving to sand myself .. where did you get it - does it stay put?

Looks good. What is the stock list?

Thanks. Its HTH pool filter sand I got from ace hardware. Less than $30 to do the tank

Oh and yeah it's staying put. I don't have any HOB power filters on it but there are 2 big powerheads and 2 large air pumps that create quite a bit of water movement

Thanks

the stocklist for now is:

1 x 7" male Argentea
1 x 6" male Bocourti
1 x 5" male? I'm not exactly sure. Was sold as Pearsei but I think its a Bocourti
4 x 3.5-4" male Thorichthys sp. Mixteco blue
10 x 2" sterbai corys
1 x 4" red fin sternella pleco
1 x 4.5" broken line royal pleco
1 x female 3.5" calico bristlenose pleco

The tank looks way better now.

 

[Jason_S]

Nice!

Oh and I forgot aboit the 5 x 4-4.5" heterospilus

 

[jeaninel]

Looks good! And once you get a background on and some plants to hide those sponge filters it will look so much better.

Why not a real sword plant? You don't need CO2 and expensive lights to grow them... I'm not all that familiar with some of your fish - are they plant Eaters?
