Your pleco set-up (preferably monstersized)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I just finished setting up my 6 ft 130 g 'Plec Tank' a few wks ago. It's got one of those Catalina canister filters (325 gph) that are Eheim knock-offs (hey-it's $60 compared to what Eheim wants for them :)) plus 2 AquaClear 110's and a 2200 gph powerhead which they love.
There's:
3 x 4"-6" Royals (L191, L191 & L190)
1 x 4" Green Phantom (L200)
1 x 4" Chocolate Plec who's growing like crazy!
1 x sweet female Severum who gets beat up in all the other tanks
I love that tank and never get tired of sitting there in the dark and watching it with it's colored lights. There's gray, black & brown sand mixed together and lots of wood & branches.
