That is VERY nice. I'm impressed that they are all living peacefully

Good work man!

Great plant work!

However, did you fishless cycle (with ammonia) before adding the fish? Adding old water and old filter media isn't enough to support all those fish.

Thanks guys....I had ALL these fish in my 135gal until yesterday; so the filters were supporting them fine then; on the 255 I am ising the same filtration PLUS I added a Fluval FX5 filled with established media from my other tanks; but I will be monitoring NO2 closely over the next few days....

The tank measurements are 84" long x 27" wide x 26" tall...

The decor was 'flung' together quickly as I was in a hurry to get the fish in from the 135 as I had filled the 255 with nearly all the water so I will be 'tweaking' still..
