125 severum community

I already have 3 gold severums, and today I'm picking up 2 greens from a local breeder. Pretty excited, it's taken a while to switch from Africans to all SA. And hardest to do i got my girlfriend on board. So here's a couple of pics of one of my golds, one of the ones I'm picking up, and the tank they'll be in.

How to video on YouTube. Cut rock shapes out of pink styrofoam insulation, silicone to glass, let set for 24 hrs, tape off what you don't want concrete getting on do a layer, wait a day, do it again, wait a day, do it again. Fill up and drain the tank about 7 times to get the extra stuff off and level out ph. I siliconed plants in mine. ...and boom. Here's the equipment all found at home depot. Ge I silicone, concrete re-surfacer, styrofoam.
I suggest practice on a small tank first. I did a 10g to make sure i was doing it right, and not mess up my 125. God luck if you try it.
