I purchased a 150 gallon aquarium a while back that I resealed and I just wanted to show where I'm at with it as of now.. Here y'all go, a 150, sumped with a diy overflow, an automatic drip system, and everything done as cheaply as possible by a 16 year old who has almost no spare time between sports and school work.
Stock is as follows:
1 jaguar
1 green terror
1 firemouth
1 tiger oscar
6 cory cats
3 plecos
7 nerite snails
Pics? Here:)

both, again will leave for other to respond on.
 
What's the foot print on that tank? That's awesome I wanna be that age again! Love the setup btw and nice sump diy. How many gallons is that sump.
 
I think you did an amazing job with the aquascaping. Personally I think your setup would look really sweet with a bunch of smaller fish. (I like where you were going with the cories and snails). I like all your DIY efforts - really makes your setup more personal when you do it all yourself like that.

I went with a peaceful community. For some reason, things just didn't work out. I also hate that the community fish have no personality other than the Cory cats. They have the greatest little peraonalities.
 
gorgeous tank :) i guess the oscar and the jag might get cramped in there as they grow perhaps? i dont know man, but that is one beautiful tank :)
