Great looking tank! I am about to upgrade my 240 to a 300 like that one...minus the overflows. What are you using for the lights?

Thanks! I'm a actually using a 48" Hagen glo dual t5 with 10k and actinic for the center and some cheapo Aqueon 24" strips for the back and sides. Three lighting phases are programmed for full, dusk-dawn, and lunar cycles

Thanks so much! Honestly, the silver dollars seem to help but we are kinda on the fence about keeping them. They are getting big, are total pigs and are super skiddish as they grow. I think the light stocking and large tank help more with the aggression than anything.

Pics are subjective to a point. A few other members here, who are far better photographers than myself, use alot of flash to throw light at the fish. I use the exact opposite. No flash at all, but I take lots of pics. For every pic I keep, 9-10 never make it off the card. I would love to be good using flash, but I'm not yet. I also manual focus alot of the pics. A good camera helps a ton

Really nice setup. I also love the JD story. Funny how incidents like that can bring you even closer to your pet. Good job all the way around.

Thanks so much! Buford is definately a member of our family and it's been a pleasure keeping him, battlescars an all.
