You shure you won't ship me some of that wood? Its wicked awesome! Absolutely love love love it!! :D Awesome tankz! Great you got Geos cuz man thats a lotta sand! haha!
 
AquataHolic420, yours look like LFS surinamensis. Those are actually not real suris, but most people dont know exactly what they are. Altifrons are not really sold in stores that I know of, Mine came from a WC guy in Florida. The two big ones are from a private party who sold them to the store, and Joey (bastard) picked them up right before i did. I got 'em from him eventually, and have had them for close to a year now.

awsome looking tank nice geos too what do you use for lighting on that bad mofo

The lights are 2 JBJ Viper 150W MH. They produce a really nice shimmer on the sand.

P_P, dude, I can ship but the UPS would make more money than me, 3-4 times more :) IT's stupid expensive to ship something this long.

hooooooooooooooooooooooly crap, strait tap and monthly WC. what the hell am i doing with my life?

Most people overdo this stuff, honestly. I feed sparingly, dont overfeed, have tons of cories and bristlenoses for clean up, and have a 40g sump and a pump that runs 2,400 gallons per hour through the system. Plus there is tons of porous media in the sump. The water is drinkable :)

And Re: Tap, when you are changing 50 gallons in a 200g system, it's not that big a deal.
 
Nice tank Paradise, nice work.

I would like to know where did you get those long skinny wood branches?

The wood is manzanita, grows in Mountains of California. Where in Cali are you? If you are local to LA (I am in the Valley) i have 'em available for $25 for a big 4 foot branch. No shipping though.
 
Great setup.... geos are some of my favorite fish... i love you taste in aquascaping
