240 Gal project with pics

[pm0084]

I let the tank cycle for about a week, I went with some old filter media, and BB in a bottle. Everything seems to be holding great and began doing some basic aquascaping, and adding my fish.
Pics will follow after they settle down from being put into there new home.

I went through this whole thread. VERY NICE TANK!!!!

This makes me want to completely redo my tank. How do you use the Novus? Do you wet sand with a high grit and then buff with Novus? I have some Novus 1 and 2 from a long time ago that I would like to try on my tank.

I think we're all excited for the pics. I like the way only direct lighting is on one part of the tank--creates a good effect.

Your setup is looking very nice. Are you planning on skinning the stand or leaving it as is?

 

[pm0084]

As promised some pics of the the almost finished project, still left is lighting, canopy, and skinning the stand......maybe some diffrent aquascaping.
Right now I have the tank set into 3 diffrent areas as you can see. Rocks, open water, and wood.
The current stock list is one 12" LMB and a common pleco.
He doesn't like sunfish or crappie as tank mates as I found out, he gets along with the pleco though . He seems to like his new home

So cool! Good job with the wood I really like it. I will likely have a tank just like that if they pass HR699 Natives only He might get along with a bullhead catfish you tried that?
