Okay, I know this is kind of a weird post but I'm always curious what other people have. So tell me about your tank(s)! Size? Stocking? Plants? Filtration? Lighting? Anything and everything you feel like sharing :) Pictures are always welcome!

Not going to try the peacocks?
 
First tank is a 75 gallon community tank. Tank is planted with a t5ho lights. Second tank is a 10g cool water tank with panda loaches rcs and wcm. Tank is lightly planted with cheap led lights. Third tank is a 5g tank with some adf. Also have a 29g reef. My next project will be to make a river tank out of a 20 long to move the panda loaches and wcms. Then will move the frogs and get a betta for my 10g.
