    That's looking damn nice Ivan! Almost makes me want to go down and trim my plants again.
    I like the color variations in your fish. I've been looking for something that looks good and eats guppies. I'm so bored with them lol.

    Very nice looking! Have you ever had to battle hair algae?

    Thanks reefmonkey. I like the colors too. There is a little bit of everything. I had waayyy too many neons for a while, but luckily I accidentally got a killifish and it took care of 1/3 or so of them haha

    I have. I did huge water changes, ripped it out on a regular basis, and started running extra carbon and phosphate removal media and now there is next to no algae left in the tank and all of my plants have started looking a lot better as well.

    Amazing Tank Ivan! It is beautiful.

    I have a question though, the big fish in there, what are they called? I heard they are cost about $180k :biglaugh: jk I had to. I really love the tank.

    Can you tell us a little about the filtration, lighting, CO2, and substrate if you would please.

    Not gonna lie...I had to look at that for a bit before I got it haha

    Lighting: 2x39 T5

    CO2: Not real professional about it. I just keep my controller set to keep the pH about .5 lower than the normal pH of the water. Plants seem to like it and I haven't killed any fish! I really need to get a drop checker or a test kit.

    Filtration: Fluval 305 with floss, carbon, and phosban equivalent in it. Also have a maxi-jet in the back blowing at the bottom to keep the crap in suspension.

    Substrate: about 2 inches of Eco-Complete

    Thanks Fish bait!
