Pic #1 & #2..
75 Gallon. 130watt Coralife Light, 40watt Blue acintic Light. Live plants. Petrified wood, lacie rock, 125lbs spectra stones. Emperor filtration.
Housing - 4 Kuhli loaches (2 black, 2 striped), 2 bandit cory cats, 1 pleco, 1 blackghost knife fish, 1 female betta, 1 headlight tetra, 1 white cloud, 6 neons + 1 cardinal, 3 black neons, 3 glowlight neons.


Pic #3...
10 Gallon. 15watt Blue Acintic light (soon to upgrade to 2 light strips, one for day/one for night). Some fake corals/barnicles/etc. Sand, two 10 gallon whisper power filters.
Housing - 1 Blue Crayfish (unsure of exact species type, growing like a pregnant woman though), 3 green barbs, 1 albino barb.




For my 75 gallon, would you say its in danger of overcrowding or do i have plenty of room to add?

nice looking tanks, i'm envious.

thank you sir! ive only been SERIOUS about fish for a year... had tanks since i was 10 though

I would take the first tank and add about 10 of every fish you already have.. With a big tank like this, you might just be surprised at how awesome your 'schooling' possibilities can be..

No more bettas.. depending on the Pleco species, remove the common one and get a few rare ones?

If neons start disappearing, its the black ghost knife.

If you start getting algae, it's likely the intense actinic lighting.. It's a nice effect, but the spectrum/intensity is designed for Saltwater tanks..

U could add sooooooooooo many more small fish like that. i have seen some awsome tranks that were full of tetras and other small fish.

First, take all those tetras and the betta and put them in ur 10. Then get another large 10-12" fish for the 75 gal. In your ten gallon you will deffinatly be able to see more of your fish that way. You could even take the barbs and put them in the 75. Personally I would take the barbs put them in the 75 and put all the tetras in the 10. Then, I would get maybe a jag, flower horn, or a pike or somthing like that.

My 10 is specfically for my crayfish... i only added the barbs in there to give the tank a bit more life, an there too fast for him to catch.

I originally setup the 75 gallon just for female bettas, but since then 10 have died, leaving me with only 1, im quite sure the BGK is taking nips out of them and slowly killing them all... the one i have left now is beat up i thought maybe more hiding spots would make it ok

I like the pleco, is an opal dot, supposedly will grow quite large. I wanted to originally setup this tank for all female betta's but I guess this isnt going to work out. As far as the lighting, the coralife light i bought said right on the box "great for freshwater live plants" haha.

I just wanted too tell you that you have a sweet setup. I have that exact same light and ended up changing it. none the less I would definately stock that tank up with plenty of fish. my universal rule is a square inch of fish per gallon of water.
