Not new to aquariums at all, and I'm currently setting up a new tank as soon as I can get the funds.
Started off with central and south american cichlids. Probably would've stuck with it longer if I didn't have a peacock bass that was rather greedy. It ate a pleco. Here's what it looked like before!
After a few months of planning and finding some new fish to go after I redesigned. Found a fascination with denison barbs. I have 16. 4 scissor tail rasboras, 3 brilliant rasbora's, 4 SAE's, and 5 red eye tetra's (my fiance's favorite fish). Full overhaul except for the fact that I neglected to remember that I wanted to paint the backround on instead of having a tape on.
And one of the best pictures with fish in it. This was before I took the giant danio's out, they were stunting growths because they were eating all the food. After removing them all of my fish have gotten noticeably bigger. Please excuse the water marks, took the picture at random and didn't clean the outside of my glass from the last WC.
Setup and accessories:
Light - aquatic life T5HO 72" only have 2 bulbs operating for 4 hours a day actinics for 1 hour and 16 moon lights for 5 hours until midnight
the tube thing on the right - Green Machine UV sterilizer 24W
Air pump - Topfin 8000
Heater 1 300w Fluval
Filter Fluval FX5 slammed full of media.
Currently working on setting up a 120 (4x2x2) in my office and getting everything in order for that tank. Thinking about going discus.
