150 gallon comes alive!!!

[c4a4y]

Just got my 150 gallon all set up and plumbing situated. The only thing it needs is a real light, black gravel, and some black background. The tank will have a oscar and dempsey in it in a week or so. Just bought this setup on craigslist for $350.

The setup:

150 gallon Peninsula Acrylic tank
Oak stand and canopy
Built in overflow
35 gallon custom acrylic sump
1- 250 watt stealth
Mag 18 pump
48" LED lunar light
4 fans to (keep humidity down)
Soon to have a t-5 lighting and gravel

What are your ideas on the setup? Give me some ideas! Stocking? Other problems with setup? That kind of thing. I will keep u updated with the progress!!

a planted severum tank would look pretty cool. Or discus if you get the right water conditions.

The dimensions are 4' by2'by30" and the old owners used it for saltwater. When he bought it 5 years ago he payed $3500 for the setup!!

Check it out!!! I got more gravel, a light, Rocks, and some fish. Hoping to get black background soon and some drift wood with a big plant! What do you guys think about getting a fire eel or Datnoid. Those are probably my two favorite fish besides Giant Gouramis. The stock right now is a Oscar, Jack Dempsey, Firemouth, and Upside down catfish. The water isn't horrible but is not totally clear yet! Hope to get some more biological filtration in next week.
