Not finished yet, still going to add some plants to the left and right of the tank, between the glass and the wood. and need to add the black background.

filteration is going to be, 2 canister filters, just waiting for someone to trade me them, or for my fish to sell so i can buy them.

stocking, i'm not sure, cant really think of a good type(s) of fish to put in there though.

Very nice....I have a soft spot for the old double nickle tanks. Keep us posted as to future inhabitants.
 
Wow, nice driftwood,where'd you get it?
 
i like it what are you thinking of putting in there??? i mean like african or american?
 
not sure on what im gona stock it with. its not finished yet, so i'll probably decide as the tanks cycling.

I'll keep you all updated as i finish the tank, i got the driftwood off ebay.
 
rainbow fish or dwarf cichlids is my suggestion
 
I was thinking I could use it fow a pleco growout, or have a nice community of smaller plecos. but than i noticed i had 2 bags of gravel that i wasnt using so i put the gravel in, and the pleco idea went out the window ( dont like plecos with gravel ). Than i was thinking Maybe i could put my pbass in it, and use it as a growout, but it would be a big hassel trying to catch the pbass once they got bigger ( i would have to take out the driftwood and plants to catch them ). So I have no clue what to stock the tank with :(
