Primed and ready! Well, almost. I picked this bad boy up monday night from a fellow MFKer and I'm thilled. I'm also excited to get another 125 that fits in the bottom of the stand. Anyway, what you're looking at in the first picture is 670 gallons of running tanks, and an additional 130 gallons worth empty. I'm probably not adding any new fish to my collection, but it will free up more space in the 180 for my primitive fish.

Tell me what you think.
 
And yes, the cichlids are coming out of the 180, they've been in with the gars for FAR too long already. I just didn't have the space to move them out until now.
 
Looks a lot better with the plants Mystus :)

Whats going in the new tank? I see you're going old school with a fishy cycle?
 
I got the tank monday, it had fish in it up until saturday, and still had water in it up until I showed up to get it, so it should be pretty close to cycled, the sand even came with it.

This one is going to get my synspilum crosses, the pbass, a couple of good sized plecos, and some other odds and ends.

The 180 is what I'm really getting excited for. By getting the pbass and cichlids out, I'll have room for my two baby endli's to go with the ornate and two sens. Along with them they'll be 2 bushfish maybe my big BGK, a few rapheals and of course the gars.
 
Oh yeah, the fish feeders, they're in there sort of to cycle, sort of to make sure that everything is safe for the fish that are going in there. One of the big reasons they're in there is that I bought too many of them and needed somewhere to put them HAHA.
