Hallelujah!!! It's finally here!

Still a little fogy from the new sand. It was clear until I stired it all up while adding the decor. Should be clear by tomorrow and I'll be adding the fish either tomorow or Thursday depending on how it all looks. I'll post more pics once it's clear, but it looks great in my opinion

great looking tank cant wait to see more though u might want to increase the lighting? seems a bit dim and concentrated on the centre.

It's a temporary light. Old broken piece of junk lol I'll be putting the actual lights on there tomorrow if I move the fish in

wow thats a big tank!

 

[gregkarr09]

looks nice? What fish are you gonna add? just something to start the cycle?

 

[charles-n-charge]

It's looking clearer this morning and should be perfect by the time I get home today. I'll most likely add the fish this afternoon.

^^ and the cycle is already finished because it has been running 3 days through all nasty filter media and cartridges from other tanks and it is full of feeders

The pacus, sunfish, larger pleco, and Oscar are in the 200 gallon now to lighten the load on the 55. The rest will be moved this Thursday or Friday. I'll post pics and a video later tonight maybe

Cool! How are the readings? I would think it would still take a bit to fully cycle that much water. Did you put the old media in the filter or just in the tank?

looks great so far! wish i could have a tank that big in my room

wish I woulda caught this earlier.. It's very easy to "Upgrade" tanks... simply add your fish into the new tank along with the old filter, run old filter and new filter on new tank for approx 2 weeks ( about standard cycle time) a few extra water changes never hurt. I've never lost a fish with this method. with the feeders be very careful about disease/parasites. GL and Nice tank!
