180g update (10 pics)

[Cohazard]

This tank has been constantly evolving/changing since I got it. It's stable now though. I've settled on CA/SA cichlids, a couple of my favorite loricariids, and polypterus.

Before:

After (more of a classy look eh?):

Oscar I bought from Jeboxfiddy:

The toughest blue dempsey in existence:

My favorite of my two GS's:

Crazy growing geo, developing great color quickly:

Lil endli's from Rich:

My first yawning pic :

The new del also from Rich (so far hasn't sit out a meal):

I left out the RTGG and the plecs, but will have pics up tomorrow maybe.

Yup 6'x2'x2'

Those pieces of driftwood are MASSIVE and will eventually have to be taken out so the fish have more room to swim around (especially the RTGG). But they make the tank look small in pics. But for now they're perfect for all the juvie fish to find their own place.

The floater has some Jmoss and regular old pond snails. They're from a planted tank I used to have, but right now I'm forced to only have 1 tank .

I'm keeping the colony going because eventually I'm going to setup a 10g for a pair of Carinotetraodon irrubesco.

Personally I would do a black background, but that's just me...

What? You don't like the "power cords 'N' canister tubes" look? j/k Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to order one from bigalsonline.






Filtration: Right now I've got 2 AC110's, 2 Rena XP3's, and two power heads and a bubble wand for water movement (Still have a couple dead spots I need to take care of).

I'm looking for two more Rena's, and some Rio pumps to keep the sand super pristine.
