110 gallon installed today

[max h]

I finally got my 110 gallon tank setup today. the water has cleared up pretty nicely although it still a some more to go. The next couple of days the plants, main filter, and fish will come over from the 55 gallon.

You're not kidding, just the tank alone is a bout 200 pounds. But compared to the 55 gallon I'm upgrading from the fish will be happy with the extra foot in length and seven inches in width, and the price was right. Total cost was about $400, that will go down as I sell the 55 gallon and some other extra equipment I have sitting around.

Looks awesome - totally jealous! I look forward to the day when I've got a bigger tank than my 30-gallon...

I have 3 adult Swordtails and 8 fry for now. I'll give some of the fry away. Pepper and Panda Cories, 4 Oto's, 5 each of Zebra Danios, Neon Tetras, and Harlequin Rasboras. All those numbers will be increasing over the next couple of months except for the swordtails.

That's going to look great when it's done.

A quick update, I got my established filter, fish, and the rest of my plants moved over today. It will be time for some more fish over the next month or two.

Looks good! Lucky fish [emoji4]

Really liking the progress here.

Looks like a solid stock plan. A dozen of any of the schooling fish are a great number (or more ), with such an open space.

Quick update after 2 weeks, the plants have been growing great and all the fish are healthy. When I transferred everything over I had 10 swordtail fry that where a couple of weeks old. I gave about 6 away which was a good thing since I got a new batch of fry the other day. Today a pair of the Harlequin Rasbora's where mating. I guess I'll find out in a day or 2 if they where successful.

The tank looks great have you put any thought into getting one or two larger show piece fish like angels, Bolivian rams or pearl gouramies

 

[max h]

Not yet, we may look at a pair of angels after getting the rest of the stocking done. I did consider Rainbow fish also, but from what I read to keep them happy you need around 8.

YMMV but I've got three dwarf neon rainbows as my "showpiece" fish and they seem to be doing quite well.

Stock it with guppy and sword-tails

 

[max h]

I have Swords, one live bearing species is enough

 

[Barliman]

Gold gouramis can be jerks, but a trio (1m, 2f) would look lovely in that tank.

So it's been a few weeks since I updated a picture. The plants have been growing like weeds.

Wow looks great!
