this will be my 3rd tank and my 3rd unintentional way of getting my girlfriend pissed off!! 
anyways...the tank will be a 52 gallon, 36'' X 18'' X 18.5''... although the tank isn't ''monster sized'' the inhabitant will be a monster... for those of you who are familiar with a gulper catfish.. u know what im talking about
if u are not familiar with the gulper catfish i suggest u at least watch some vids of them on Youtube! there's some pretty good entertaining ones! the gulper cat maxes out at 10 - 12'' so i will not be upgrading...unless all my fish in my 120 gallon die all at once..
for now i will only be getting one gulper cat...if i feel the need to get another i may.. ive done my homework about the fish for over a month now. however, im no pro on the gulper cat so any advice related to setup would be very much appreciated.
Filtration wise i was thinking AC 110
lighting would be a small 24'' 12 watt coralife
heater i was thinking of buying one of those new Fluval ones.. still not sure.. if not im gonna go with the Fluval Tronic with heater guard.
i will have a black background just like all my other tanks.
my idea for decor is too have 2 long, large and bushy fake plants on both sides of the tank. as for substrate..none...im going with slate tiles!
now heres what im still contemplating... should i put in a decent sized drift wood center piece? it would make the tank look alot more shiek and give refuge to the gulper cat.
i will be doing updates with real pictures soon, so subscribe and/or stay tuned if ur interested in the final outcome.
alright last thing.. here my simple but sweet blue print. im open to any suggestions and all comments.
thanks
