So now that I have finished moving I can finally start my poly project!

Ill keep this alive with pictures and progress.

I acquired a 75 gallon tank and stand. Both were in horrid condition but I got a deal.

I want to go into this project with the goal of giving my polys a good place to live. Driftwood, live plants and sand with plenty of hiding spaces. All the while making it easy for me to clean and care for.

Currently in the tank:

3X Delhezi (2CB & 1WC)
1X Retropinnis (WC)
1X Mokelembembe (WC)
3X Senegal (2CB Normal 1CB Albino)
1 Florida Gar

Future Additions
1X Palmas Polli


Well... on to the pics!

I started out by stregthening the stand. I did this with my oscar tank as well. It turned out nice so I copied it.

Plain black pine stand.
