The start of my new 65 gallon.

you sure can lol, you can see my lil ocellaris at the top left and my 2 chromis a down by the sand but are hard to see
the ocellaris hids in the powerhead shroud when they arent running!! crazy lil guy

im undecided on my aquascaping, i may need to order more rock before im able to do much more than i already have

 

Nice lookin good, also nice to see a fellow Kansan;D

 

of course! not many of us mid-western people on here...i was talking to my UPS delivery guy the other day about my tank. He seems really interested cuz he delivers all of my fish stuff, and he met a guy on the day he delivered my tank, that was asking about me and my fish because he noticed the big box on the truck. He said the guy worked at the state correctional facility we have just outside of town, and the guy told him that him and his wife own a 240 gallon aquarium. I believe he said it was saltwater too! He didnt know the guys name or where he lives. I gotta see this tank in person. Anybody know this guy up in northwest KS?
