My 230G tank

[honda237]

This is my 230g tank, it was suppose to be aggressive but after seeing other people's tanks i decided to go peaceful, and i like it a lot. Its not fully complete, i need more driftwood, rocks and some plants, and the rest of the fish which are in grow out tanks right now, but this is how it is so far, but i am on the hunt for things, so soon it will be complete. I also need to redo the sump which will only take a sheet of acrylic. The first two pictures are when i first got it running and it only had a pair of red ceibals and 3 dicrozosters in it. The rest of the pictures were taken last night.

The tank still needs a lot of work, its only been up and running since last thursday (instant cycled).
this is my stocking for a while, and not everything is in the tank right now:
1 Super red severum, 1 rotkeil, 3 notatus,
2 Australoheros red ceibal,
2 Australoheros oblongums,(growout tank)
2 archocentrus nanoluteus,
1 sajica,
1 aequidens Atabapo,
1 chocolate cichlid,
5 red head tapajos,
1 geo altifron,
4 geo dicrozoster,
3 Guianacara sp. cf Rio Caronigymno,(Growout tank)
1 bristlenose

It will be downsized, i will get rid of two severums, and the altrifron for a trio of altifrons, and then a few other things will be sold.

Thanks
ya i might, also the light through the window provides enough light so i don't have to turn on a light, and i could put a few live plants there. I am still deciding on what to do with the tank.

background would help i paint all my backgrounds black and love it. Glad they all went to a nice big home with an excellent hobbyist. How about that big male? Stunner huh?

i will probably get a plastic tape up black background, because this is a 360 view tank and i would love to use it as a room divider one day.
thanks, he looks stunning,I love all the color on him, he is enjoying the big tank and all the new friends.

Thanks, i should be able to get it done in a few months. College is out in about a month and a half, that will give me more time to work on the tank.

forgot to mention that the two red heads pictured are the wilds from snook, they are the dominant male and female. They are turning out well
