New Tank for the Boys....

[djaalix]

more of the same, but a few more pics.....
full tank shot

so much space, and everyone still huddles together!

This goonch is really starting to get some beautiful orange coloring, and is generally very light in color while the other is darker and greener, with more dark patches ... cant get a good pic of him cause he's in that bubbly pile of wood on the far end of the tank

Dorado's color is getting richer, and he is really getting big, and i havent seen him attack anyone in the new tank yet, very comforting... i think the Dorado and the Armatus are really going to grow very quickly very soon, they are just hammering pellets, and seem very comfortable in the tank

My NTT dats, and NGT dat are being shy, but my big IT seems comfortable too

i have 5 Koralia Magnum 8 water circulators rated at 3200 gph each, and a return pump i've calculated to 3600 gph, so total is about 19,600 gph, and the temp is set at 81 and clicks on at 80 and off at 82, i may add another much smaller heater just to take away that 2 degree swing, but not sure yet

The catfish are like 18-20 inches each, the tarpon is about 16 inches, dorado is like 14 and my biggest Goliath is about 14, i think the Armatus, whose currently 8-9 inches is going to grow so much in the next few months, i'm def looking forward to it

Amazing setup and fish in there. I'm trying so hard to decide whether I want an armatus or a VATF, I wish I knew someone who had some so I could at least watch them and see which would be more active/aggressive. Having a hard time figuring out which of the two would entertain me more. I'd just get both, but I think I want just one and then 2-3 pbass in there. Which of them do you think is more entertaining to watch? More active, etc.
