225 gallon before & after gravel

Haven't posted pictures in quite a while, since I've been busy with college, but I'm home for the holidays and decided to remove the gravel from my 225 today. My parents are planning on selling the house soon, so I'm going to have to move the tank to a building my dad owns. Since I'm now going to have to drive across town to maintain the aquarium, I figured I'd make it a little easier on myself by converting to bare bottom.

Before:


After:

Nice deep orange on the oscar, makes me miss mine lol. Oh and great tank by the way, looks better as bare bottom

Thank you.

Seems cleaner with the bare bottom. I like it. How big is the arowana?

It actually was a lot cleaner in the second picture. It was overdue for a water change, and on top of that, I realized while removing the gravel that one of my filters isn't functioning.

I haven't attempted to measure the aro in a long time, but I would guess he is ~27 or 28".
