Haven't posted here for a while. I've been busy, but still lurk regularly. Anyways, here are some photos I snapped tonight of the 280 in-wall display tank. I didn't have a tripod or anything, so some of the pics are a bit blurry/crooked, but here they are...

Leiarius longibarbis - almost a year and a half old. He was a $12 pickup from PSP and is somewhere in the 18-20" range.



Here's the Green Sev. He's about 6" or so. I've had him for about 6 months.





My male and female Motoros that I got this summer from TFD. About 6" discs.









... and finally a crappy full-tank shot



There's also a 7-8" TL Labeo in there and a new P. granulosus, but they weren't being very photogenic and blended in too well with the black background. Let me know what you think.
 
Love the pim!!
 
Very nice what kind of sand are using?

Thanks... I call him Nemo. He lived with a jag when he was about 6" long that went nuts one day and ate off most of his fins. His right pectoral fin only grew partially grew back, so he's got that "magic fin."

It's just plain old pool filter sand.

Nice..

do you have any feeding issues with the marbled pim and rays?

Yeah, the pim can be a little over aggressive at feeding time. I usually put his food in on one side of the tank and the rays' food on the other. The rays have learned the routine and come right to the back corner when the food goes in. I put their food on the bottom, and once they get their bodies over the food the pim can't get at it.
