Since this is monsterfishkeepers.com I wondered if anybody kept their pleco in suitably monster tanks or if not what is your set-up.

To get the ball rolling, here's mine (not too monsterish)

525 litres/115 UK gallons

Eheim Pro3 2180 (500w heater), Tetratec ex2400, 2x Aquamedic PF1000, Hydor Koralia 2

Mainly panaque (L27 x 2, L190 x 5)
 
Right now I have a small albino gibby and I just picked up a baby L200 (baryancistrus species).

The gibby is in my 120g 4x2x2 with my bichirs, not too monster I guess... the baby L200 is worse, it's in a 10g grow-out lol I think it's about 2"
 
Pictures are in my album.. their not quite monsters yet..

I have:

L-200 5"
L-190 6"
Chocolate Pleco 10"

all are in a 150Gallon tank...

Been thinking of doing a carnivore pleco, something like L-114 or L-024 or L-096 but.. somehow.. i feel like I have enough plecos where there are no fighting and the three of them get along fine..

I'll add my youtube vid of my tank as well...

Looking good mate, needs a background IMHO.
I have L001,common, and L191 in my 400L at present. Driftwood and plants. here's an idea of what it looks like, try to get a better pic soon.

I know, I setup the tank too fast when I got it and didnt think about everything. Later in the summer I intend to give it a major overhaul, including a background.
