Good just checking in glad you started this thread

Thanks for taking the time and checking out what I have. And thanks for the info and help. Also once the 80 is done I'm redoing the 55 to a chiclid tank, something I'm personally looking forward to.

Good luck with the tank, keep us updated!

So finally put my bubble wall up on my 80 still waiting for the nitrite to clear up though sure in a couple weeks it'll be safe. Here's an updated pic



Still need to fix it a bit but waiting for a water change so it will be easier

Because I moved haven't had time to work on my projects. But here is an update on what I've done since I moved.




I put up the background I had for the 80 gallon and fixed the bubble wall. I also added a few extra plants. Then I put the black ear paroon shark in the 80. Tank was a little cloudy because the shark was moving plants and switching the sand every where.

On my 55 gallon tank I gave my gouramis to my neighbor, and took the plants out of it. Then added 3 frontosa to it. Here's a picture of the biggest one

Dont know much about these fish but i know one thing, frontosa get giant!

 

[richturd]

Well I don't mind that they still have a long way to go before they out grow it

Yeah, and you could always move them to your 80g if you stick with semi aggresive fish right

Any pics of them in the tank? Love these guys by the way

I'll post some up later on today. I was thinking of also taking a video of both tanks

Here is a couple pictures of the 3 frontosas

you might want to consider a pre-filter sponge on your 80g. That sand could seriously damage your filter

 

[richturd]

What do you mean I never heard of a pre filter. I just got the fluval that is for the 100 gallon tank. Then a bubble wall for water circulation

He means put a sponge on the filter intake so the sand doesnt get into the intake and ruin it.

A sponge prefilter is sponge that you put over the intake of your filter so it doesn't suck up large objects that could ruin it like your sand. You can DIY it, or buy it.

That would be cool

Black ear paroons get 100+" so you should probably get rid of it

Search Amazon/Ebay or check your LFS. Fluval make a fine sponge pre-filter, only a few dollars....
