5 incher ran me 35 bucks. and my new tank isnt setup yet. I'm taking it slow. so it'll hopefully be awesome. right now the clowns are in my 65g community tank. Also forgot to mention that the 5 incher, has a small black spot on it too. so it makes a bit of an oddball 
I'm really hoping tomorrow is a non rainy day. So I can build the stand, it'll be my first stand... so it'll take some time... Once I have the stand done. I can plumb in the sump, and order the lights, and build the canopy. Then it's just filling it in. I think I'm gonna go with 100 cardinal tetra and clown loaches. So might take another 2 weeks or so. The tetra prolly gonna run me 200 bucks, 3-400 on the lighting.. And still need to map out my plants. My local fish dealer also told me, if you soak clay pots for like a day, you can drill them pretty easily so I'm gonna try making some clay pot covered java moss caves also soon. I'll be sure to post pics of everything I do.
Some pics of the first cave I made. They can only get better as I learned alot from making this one.
Used thread to tighten the hair net, that is used to hold on the moss, worked out pretty well.. now to watch it grow!

So my 125 tank, cracked and ended up selling it before I even set it up... I got a new tank.. This one is an oddball tank for my oddball loaches! It's in an L shape... So what cool ideas do we have for it? I was thinking of making it a river habitat tank? I think they call it on the loach forums...Have powerheads, going from one end to the *intersection* then powerheads from there, blowing down the other side... Maybe have it be, one side, powerheads are higher in the water. on the other lower... So they can play where ever they want on either side...
Pic of tank from crappy cell phone.. Havent brought the tank home yet. It's 110 gallons.

If you're not going planted as was suggested, I would get some black t-grade. I absolutely love mine. I have s-grade, too, and I like it a lot. It's much easier to clean than gravel, IMO.
