Hey everyone, new guy here:)
Love the site and all the help it has given me thus far. I was hoping you guys could give me some tips, advice, or just comment on my tanks! thanks :)photo 4.JPGphoto 2.JPGphoto 3.JPGphoto 1.JPG



I'm semi new to the hobby so if I'm doing something really wrong help me! haha
I have a mix of South american cichlids, sharks, catfish, clown loaches, plecos, and a turtle in this tank! I made some of my own lighting with 3 x 24" aquarium lights, and 2 48" strip l ights.
It has a fluvall 405 cannister filter that seems to get the job done? and I only use a 150 watt heater but the tank stays right around 80..
It has about 30 fish is this to many, not enough?

Here is my smaller 30 gallon. It has a mix of tetras, gourami, green spotted puffer, freshwater lionfish, black ghost knife and my favorite the elephant nose. It also houses that cute little turtle who is always eager to meet me in the morning :)

As always, any help is always appreciated thanks guys!!

the GSP will need a bigger tank in the future, but nice setup. you should add a platform to let the turtle leave the water if it needs to as well.
 
Get some close up pics of the GSP, BGK, and Lionfish. Also the GSP and BGK will need much larger tank
 
Did I miss the tank size? Looks good though. Fluval 405 is not gonna do a good job once you get over 75g I believe. Especially with your stock. That tank looks a bit bigger in the pic
 
Welcome to MFK. I see we have another fish keeper with some skills.
 
Welcome dude! Nice tanks! It looks like you know what you're doing. However, I hope you are not feeding your fish sugar frosted flakes!
