yes ever realized FREE FOOD taste so much better than self bought food? lol thread hijacker!

Oh I don't know about that. I tend to enjoy the fruits of my own labor. :D

Still gotta spend money on the rest of the stuff for the tank, though. One thing I am thinking about with this is having a planted tank with Silver Dollars. I've heard they'll destroy all the plants. Java ferns and onion plants are said to do well with them. Maybe amizon swords? I can't stand plastic plants; might as well have plastic fish!

Looks awesome but I would have cut that shim off before I fill the take.It should stay very crisp with those filters

Thanks. That shim is just temporary. The tank is empy right now until I have a few more boards cut to the size I need.
 
Here's a few pictures of my other fish while the tank is getting ready.

This guy and his buddy will be going into my 80.

yes love the pictus. I have 4 in my 55 till I get the 220 up and running. They will grow like crazy if they are feed right. Although mine seem to like it better with the lights out.

Thanks! I plan on giving them a really nice place to hide in the 80. Gonna use a 4" section of black corrugated drainage pipe to make a nice tunnel/cave for them. It'll be u-shaped and buried behind a rock shelf to one side.
