Got a good deal on a Tenecor. It's 8' long and 30" tall, but only 18" wide, so no big fish.

Haven't decided on what to stock it with yet. This is how far I got. Check back for updates :)

That thing is nice! I wouldn't add anything just fill it with water and you wouln't screw it up.........lol

Altum, a big school of corys I like the Farlowella idea and a bunch of Marbel Hatchet fish for the top throw in a leaf fish or two and just Oronoco the hell out of it. Use two 24" double bright LED fixtures over the center and leave the corners darker gives a subdued shimmer I have them on mine and I really like the effect. HOT!
 
I suggest angels and farlowellas for that tank.

I'm actually thinking the same thing - keeping my altum group in this tank. "Problem" is that I'm having a 93g cube made for the altums (started before I bought this tank) and it should be ready this week....I don't think my other fish would fit in that cube.
 
Not even any fish in it and it's still breath taking...

Subscribed! :popcorn:
 
Such a nice, and simple scape. I always wanted my Red Head Tapajos tank to resemble something like this.

Looks perfect for them, or some Discus...I never cared much for them though.

I would do a Red Head Tapajos with a nice schooling fish and maybe a Phantom Blue Pleco(even though that has been done numerous times).

Maybe a mix of Geo Species with some Guianacara, Biotodoma Wavrini, Heckelii.

I personally have never had Winemillerri, and would prob do some in here....but I think you've had your fair share of eartheaters and maybe you wanna do something different.

Sorry if I am not much help...lol.
