Great looking setup!!
Finally got mine setup with driftwood and rocks. Think this will be the way it stays for awhile.
Sorry for the crap blurry picture with the glare. Need to take the time to do a proper photo shoot.
Tank - 120gal 4'x2'x2'
Filtration
1x Penn Plax Cascade 1000
1x Penn Plax Cascade 700
2x Marineland Emperor 400
Other -
1x Hagen Power-Glo Fluorescent Bulb: : 48" - 40 Watts T8
1x Tetra Whisper 100 running two air stones
2x 250w Marineland Stealth Heaters at 80-82F
Rocks and driftwood came from Arizona washes.
50% water changes every 5-7 days.
Stock List -
1 8-10" Red Bay Snook
1 6-7" Jack Dempsey
1 4" Midas
1 4" Albino Tiger Oscar
1 3" Blood Parrot
2 3-4" Blue Acaras
1 8" Albino Chocolate Pleco
2 6-8" Common Plecos
A few more photos
The filtration seems to keep everything in check, only my living room sounds like I live next to a river and I have constant air bubbles floating around, but I guess thats not really a bad thing.
This was my first attempt at a larger tank so it quickly became a hodgepodge of petsmart fish along with the fish the owner had when she sold me the tank. Once these guys get older, I'd like to replace them with some other fish that would work better together in the tank. They all seem to do pretty well in there at the moment though.

He's a Petsmart Blood Parrot. I got him when he was maybe an inch, all black and gray and barred. I knew he'd turn orange over time so I was excited to see the transformation.
As he got a little older the bars disappeared and he was mostly just gray...then all of a sudden one day his bars appeared again. I thought maybe it was stress, but they stayed, and then he started turning orange.
His top layer seems to be peeling off for the most part, but he still has the bar coloration his top half.
He's a neat little guy, I call him Polly. Him and the Midas team up and raise hell with the snook.
I'm currently in the works of getting a 55 cheap off of craigslist which one day I hope to have discus in, but until then, I'll probably thin out some fish from the 120. I'm imagining I'll either need to sell some fish or get a few more tanks as all these guys get bigger, but right now, they get along great with one another.
Here's some photos of him when he was younger...
When he was really young...mostly grayish
