Bought this thing a few weeks ago but havent had time to swap it out for the 150. My brother and I moved tanks yesterday. A 175 weights ALOT more that a 150! Well here it is finished.
Tank is 72"Lx20"Wx30"T. With stand and canopy, its 74"Lx22"Wx72"T. I painted the background black and added the same old black sand and driftwood that was in the old tank.
It has a CPR 194 Cyclone biofilter with a 1200GPH pump. (which scares me bc the sump is only supposed to run at 800gph but i cant afford a to get a new one so it will have to do for now.) Its got a corner overflow (that doesnt drain fast enough. Do i drill more holes in it to get it to drain faster?) and I finally got the return to stop syphoning the tank into the filter when turned off. Thanks to everyone who suggested drilling holes in it.
I'm cycling it with a 6" Yellow Bullhead and some apple snails. I'm still trying to figure out what i want to put in it. My wife has to have an oscar or two, a CKF and a blood parrot, i want a bichir, a green terror and a few more catfish.
P.S. Anyone have a Loratab?
