Yeah close with a bit more rock and wood.
I am back and forth on a background on this tank

Well I think it looks awesome! As always its preference and to each there own. Personally I think it would really make the tank but either way great setup!!

125 african tank

Trying to upload pic and vid of our cichlid tank, forgot to add any description before hitting upload. hopefully it comes up soon, this is our 125 gallon african tank, about to start a 55 gallon for our mississippi map turtle and electric blue lobster that are currently in a 20 gallon long tank. Hopefully we can add something else in with them. gonna try to add pics of them too.

I've shown alot of pics of my tank so I thought it would be cool to show the behind the scenes mechanical "guts" if you will I have plans on adding a sump but that won't happen until I can get the tank broke down & off the stand because the way my stand is built I need to gut it first. Until then I'm running 3 AC 110's & a fluval fx5. Would love to add a 4th AC but the bracing does not allow room for another. May throw another canister on. I also run sponge filters in a my tanks

Here is my newly set up 55. I originally had a 30 with the three bigger guys and a electric blue cray who died recently. I have a jack Dempsey, bristlenose pleco, yellow lab, bumblebee, red zebra, a Auratus and one I'm not sure of as well as a small school of giant danios.

Be really careful with that y'all stand. I had one that y'all an was always scared I was gonna knock it over. Tank looks great. Heck....you might have room on the bottom to put another tank!

My dad helped be drill the stand into the wall. It's reall Sturdy and level. Thanks much appreciated! I was planning on having a fry tank on the bottom

Amazing how these stands are built. I did a 2x4 stand for my 29 than did a ton of research and built one for my 55 with just 3/4 oak ply. As well as my cousins 80 gal with the same wood. Mines more over built than his too.
