450 Gallon Build!
- Thread starter cordero01
- Start date
I start this thread build with a very clear idea of what stocking i wanted. It may not be a monster fish at all but its a monster passion we all have! I posted in MFK because it as teach me all the important things of filtracion/pump selecting etc...
Ive read almost all buildup threads in here and just confused with what stocking fish i want! I know its really personal but what would you put in!?
Im just 1 country from the amazon river so i have very good friendship with some fish exporters/importers and they have REALLY good prices.
What should i stock this tank!? F0??

THIS IS A SICK BUILD! How did I miss this this?!?! Subscribed. I would go massive amazon tank with a huge school of eartheaters and large ones at that. Geophagus altifrons, a massive school of orange heads or even Acarichthys heckelii (my fav). What is your water hardness? If you have very soft acidic water I would go:
x8 Uaru fernandezyepezi
x8 Satanoperca daemon
x2 Potamotrygon hystrix
(or x40 Corydora sterbae if you didn't go hystrix)
But thats just me.
Have been reading your thread and your leos and henlei its what i want.
about the stocking would love some fernandezyepezi i asked today and they have 4-5inches for 80$, daemons are not my favorite but could change for something else, the geophaus winemiller are very nice also or geophagus sp. aff. argyrostictus.
i know you use designed by nature 3d background but really like Aqua Terra Slimline Mesa Rock background, what do you guys think?
tomorrow i would do a leake test! hope everything is goes well
Friday i filled the tank, so far no leakes! I also plumb the drip system drian its a 2" pipe its not glued yet until im sure where's the best place to drill the sump or method? Any ideas would i'd appreciated? Waiting for the rest of plumbing parts to arrive because they got lost in the mail... 
Drian pipe

I use www.designsbynature.net backgrounds because I have a relationship with the owner and always support local businesses when possible. If you like the Aqua Terra one got for it! Do what make you happy. Especially considering a background is one of those things you won't be going back to do over once the tank is up and running.
What plumbing design are you using for the overflows/sump?
