My Replacement tank

[Idealconcepts]

First two pics are of my previous 135gal African Cichlid (Malawi) aquarium. Had about 35-40 Cichlids along with about 10-15 Juv's and Fry.

Second two pics are of the replacement 240gal (Bare) BIG Fish aquarium that I got about 3-4 weeks ago. Currenlty has a 4 inch Green Texas Cichlid and a 22 inch Black Arowana (it was labeled as a Silver so I got it for about 1/4 to 1/5 of what it would have cost)

Enjoy

Thanks.

Not into SW, they look nice and everything but I'm drawn too Arowanas, especially the Asian Arowanas, Peacock Bass and the large Bichers.

Can't wait to have a tank with a half dozen to a dozen fish 18-30inches in length.

What type of lighting are you using? It looks almost like you are using a black light of some sort. Maybe it's the dark background and substrate. It looks amazing.

Wow those are amazing. That arrowana is gorgeous.

WOW! Being a saltie, I would love to see those as SW tanks, but your pics make for a great argument! Those are two beautiful tanks!

Thanks. It's just actinic (SP??) lighting mainly used for SW.

The first tank was replaced with the second tank, the one with the Aro. I'll post a few more pics of the new tank and my other tank.

Top two pics are of the 240gal that replaced the 135gal african cichlid tank. Still has the Black Arowana and added a Gulper Catfish to it.

Bottom two pics, with the multiple fish is my 300gal tank, has a slightly smaller Black Arowana, Petsmart Midas/Red Devil, Pike, Peacock Bass, Silver Dollars, Sevs, Pictus cats, FH, Chocolate Cichlid, and probabably a couple other fish I forgot about.

Still learning the whole Digital SLR thing so there is still room for improvement with the pictures. Enjoy.....

Mainly regular T12s, Actnic in each tank and either 50/50 or daylight bulbs.

With the way you did the smaller tank I can't wait to see the larger one finished - very beautiful tanks and fish -

Thanks appreciate the compliments.

I am thinking of limiting the amount of decor I put in the new tank, possibly add a light colored substrate to the bottom and possibly a large piece of drift wood I have already. Currently the bare tanks is very easy to keep up, just a water change every week and clean out the filter ever 2-3 months.
