Hey guys. I am the roommate of the OP. My name is Taylor. We really do appreciate all the kind comments. It makes all the time, money, and effort into the tank worth it for us as we feel like the tank is being appreciated by not only us but others as well.

As far as the RTC eating the tank mates, it is something we are aware of. the leaf fish has been with the RTC since day one in the 55 he started out in and he has never once looked at him as a food item. Granted the RTC was purchased at around 2 inches and as he grows his view on food will change. The Jewel cichlid was raised with the oscar in the other 55 that we have. At the time there was no where else for them to go as the 55 is currently being used as a grow out for our Fahaka puffer (120-180 coming soon for him). IF they get eaten, well, it will be an expensive snack. That, and our other roommate, the original owner of the 55, is against trying to re-home them as he has somewhat of a connection to them. We tried to explain the situation to him but he wanted them in the tank, so if it happens, it happens.

I am uploading more photos right now so we will have a couple more in a bit.

Not saying it would be the worst thing to happen to a fish, Cornelius's death was tough.

I have to agree guys, you have an awesome tank. I wouldnt add any other fish right now. Your fish seem happy. Big tank + not crowded= Happy fish haha. Just wait till they get full grown . And I love the aquascape thats going on.

Thanks. I agree, we are def not going to overstock... we are going to remove some of the smaller fish, like the jewel ciclid and the african leaf fish, maybe even the pleco as well. Then we are going to add a jaguar ciclid ND WILL HAVE 1X OSCAR 1X RED TAIL CATFISH 1X JAGUAR CICLID

I have to agree with the previous post - I dig the last photo in your set the most. And I have always liked the time lapse photos of all the steps leading to the setup, so thanks for posting those as well.
