Video time. I moved my M/F Bahia pair to the 600. So the stock list is this:

Royal Motoro 16" disk male
Tiger Ray 12" Disk female
4 Azuls 12-13"
1 Tem 12"
1 Rapps Mono 13"
1 Rapps 4th batch Kelb 10"
1 Rapps Orino 9"
1 Occell 10"
1 Brokopondo Ocell 11"
1 hoplias curupira 15"
2 Monos 13-15"
2 Bahias 9-10"

Still aquascaping, just picked up a 6'x30" malaysian stump/branch. I will repost after its installed.

I'll post my 300 later. More bahias, orinos, occel and 4 bar kelb

Enjoy, happy new year.
 
Tease.....you have an awesome collection.
 
Some really nice bass! Tank looks great w/ those couple extra added to the tank. I like the tank the way it is.....curious to see how it looks after the log addition.
 
The stand out is the broko to me looken good .the wolf causes 0 problems?
 
The wolf always could be, but so far he is taken all the abuse. The ray nailed him twice with minimal damage. So if he every feels like putting a hurting on something they won't stand a chance. He is fed heavy with shrimp so he has no room for say a kelberi. Knock on wood......if you know what I mean.

If you want to elevate your game mix some snakeheads with those Orinos J/K....LOL. I am jealous of those O's you have, can't wait until mine grow.

Finally, the Broko is awesome. Have another small one and plan to get one more.

Then the cut, Picking the top ten for the 600 and selling the rest. that is unless I am successful getting the 1250 ;-)
 
The tank looks great bradda. Really clean tank and great collection.

Thanks man, I am debating the log. It is huge and I dont want to eat a lot of space. I have to cut it to get it in so I am debating in my head how to slice it so it looks its best. The other upside is I have hard water with 7.8 ph and I know it will soften the water.

Thanks Bro, appreciate it. Next step is building a hood and stand cover like the 300. Thats all mohoghany and looks sweet, just a little better than concrete block. My T-5's should arrive monday so I hopefully take some decent still shots.

What type of lighting are you currently running? How is it getting food down to the rays with all them cichla cruising the top? My next set up is going to have a ray or two, I like the look.

Standard flourescent double 48", thats it. no actinic (sp?)

Moto is crazy easy, dump whole peeled shrimp and the bass ignore it generally. exception is the tem and the wolf. And I am quite content to give Beelzebub his 2 shrimp a day to keep him satiated. When I was feeding worms I used a 4' black plastic tube and dropped them in right in front of the Ray. the tiger is a little picky right now but she is very new. I saw her eat crawlers before I bought her so I will give her some time and try to convert her to Shrimp too.

I love bass, but rays are really nice too. Big bioload though. I have a 140 gallon dyi wetdry with 20 gallons of bioballs and 1250 scrubbies.
