Did something a little out of my comfort zone and setup a community tank. I realize that once some of these fish mature I will probably have to move some (the thorichthys more than likely, they're a-holes) but I am prepared to do that when the time comes. I've got a 125 currently stocked with

7 Philippine blue angelfish
1 white angelfish (Petco gave me one of these instead of a white skirt tetra)
3 rams - 1 male blue 2 female gold
1 pair apistograma cacatuoides
6 thorichthys ellioti
A dozen neon and a dozen black neon tetra
6 white skirt tetra
6 albino Cory catfish

I'll post progress pictures in another month or so

Tank looks good man. I agree that the thoricthys are the odd fish out; maculipinnis (ellioti's new "correct" name) are pretty mean. I would personally take them out and replace with a few SA cichlids like guianacara sp. or biotodoma cupido, something like that. Then would be full SA setup.
Long fin rams looking great
 
very nice tank.
