My First Big Boy Tank!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Took an hour+ ride down to Uncle Ned's fish factory in Millis, Mass. Saturday evening. Picked up 2 Hartwegis, 2 Bocourtis, 2 Fenestratus, 2 Argenteas, 1 Regani, 3 rainbow cichlids, and a green Texas. Was hoping for bifasciatus and black belts as well but they didn't have any. Everybody is doing great in the 180. Colors are showing and already figured out I'm the food guy. So far everybody is being very civil.
 
None of my cameras are any good for fish pics, so I'll try for a vid this weekend. Just know that these guys I just bought are babies 2"-3" so don't expect any crazy colors, finnages or humps lol
 
Its not very good, but here's a little vid off the phone.

Looks great, very nice work!
 
Thank you all!

Gonna leave it bare bottom for another month or so, until 2nd canister is fully established and ammonia is down to 0. This way I can make sure the tank will be super clean, then the pool filter sand will be going in. Grabbed a bunch of decent size rocks last weekend. They're being bleached/sanitized right now, probably will go in this weekend. Branch in tank will be coming out this weekend, and I'll check with lfs to see if I can find some nice driftwood as well this weekend.
