I'm not crazy about the one on the left sticking straight up. Other than that it looks good
 
Yea, i think im going to place it in the back right corner.
Its pretty big and hard to place, so my places to put it are limited.
 
I like it to be honest(probably because we have the similar taste:)), I don't think you'll ever be happy with the scape and least I'm not.

Hey hukit just out of curiosity what kind of rock is that looks real nice I'm about to start a 65 gal peacock tank?

It's some fancy name for flagstone but I honestly don't recall, I purchase all my rock from a local landscape supply company. The rock was around 25 cents a pound and totaled around 185lbs.
 
I changed the scape up a bit, lights are off so pics will be up tommarrow.
On a side note i just found this snail in the tank.
Should i keep it or wat?

I've never used snails so I can only say what I've heard...... Get rid of it! If there's more you may have an infestation! So my friend told me!
 
After doing some research i came to the conclusion that its a mts.
Some ppl say they r good, and others not so much.
What do u guys think?
 
I got the 305 motor back.

Its up and running but it has an impeller noise.
I stopped it once and messed with the impeller a bit, but its still pretty loud. Any ideas on whats going on?
 
I figured it out, it was something stupid.

Updated pics wil be up tonight
 
Heres a quick update

Yea, He only had 5 left, but he gets shipments in every 2-3 weeks.
This guy was really nice and he had alot of tanks.
He had a huge 180 bowfront display tank, and i got to see the father of these fish and he looked really good.
I will grab a cpl more from his next shipment probably.

If he has the parents why are they being shipped to him? Do you mean youll get more from the next spawn?
 
He has the male
And he gave the female to the neigbor.
Hes also growing out a second batch of fry from the same male and female.
But he gets shipments in with other fish that i might get such as some afras.
My final stock list may be 6-8 labs and 1m 3f of an afra and call it a day.
Heres a cpl pics
I have yet to remove one of my old fish, but he hasnt caused any trouble so i might leave him in for a cpl days.
