My 10' 580G pleco tank

[Recumbent]

How many plecos do you recognize? A few like L065 are not really viable. The L048 is not dead, it just learned to pay dead from the CL. I often have to do a double take on him. These are mainly form 5" - 10". My bigger and smaller ones are in different tanks. Only the Royals and Pinecone fight much. Enjoy.

Great pleco collection. Like the abundant bogwood you provided also.

 

[lmt6600]

Is it bare bottom? I couldn't tell if there was a thin sand or completely bare.

Very nice monster tank!

 

[Recumbent]

It is bare bottom. I have never siphoned it in over 2 years. 2 hydor 8's keep things moving until the sump gets it.

Nice collection of healthy fish! The driftwood pieces to me have more of the piled on feel; maybe slight rearrangement is in order?

 

[Recumbent]

There are only 2 pieces of driftwood on the full side of the tank. The other side only has 1 piece that I cut in half. All were massive to start with (over 5') so not much rearranging is possible.

Nice tank setup.
