I'm not a fan of glosso. HC I don't mind though and is being considered too.
I really like the parvula too. What I worry about is having the ability to keep it algae free. Hopefully with your help I can manage it.

Ok Neilanh, here is the fish I was telling you about. You probably know exactly what it was but not based on my description. Anyway I couldn't get him to sit still so the pics aren't that great!

I think it is this. Mine is much deeper red then this though.

Then it is yours! Let me know when you have your tank ready for fish and we can set something up.
No rush either I'm not taking the 55 down anytime soon.

Nice fish, I don't prefer fish with humped backs like that but if you like it thats all that matters!
How do you two plan on swappign the fish, I see you both live in VA so I assume you won't ship it?

He and I live about 45 minutes apart so I'm just going to take it to him when his 125 is ready for fish.

Personally I think Ziggy is coming over to hijack your tank 
Kidding Ziggy, really.

I've already been to his house and I have seen his tanks. I'm a salty so I like what he has done but I'm not into the fresh thing anymore...LOL

Yeah, he was just over last week.
BTW, I intend on coming to pick that up rather than have you deliver, so i can get a chance to see your tanks.

Awww....isn't that cute.
You should bring some fork lifts so you can do a fish tank swap. It will be like wife-swap only much much more quiet.

Quick update
Not a whole lot new. Really just letting the tank settle in.
My newest toy, however, arrived today. An 8-switch power strip, made for DJs to help control their equipment I guess. Picked it up for $25 online somewhere.
I'll label each channel eventually. Plan to setup the 2 filters, 2 heaters, and whatever else I come accross on it. This will be smoother for shutting stuff off for PWCs, etc.
Sorry for the low quality pic, didn't really spend any time on it.
Handfull of new plants in the tank, here's an updated shot. Still not much to look at, but gets a little better each week. Tank has gotten a white cloud, I assume it to be a bacteria bloom. And, starting to see the first touches of algae, GSA on the glass and a little bit of thread.

Just wondering, cos I can't tell. How's this thing differ from an ordinary 8-switch power board?

It's probably not. I've just never had one with individual switches.

Did you ever pick up those special fish you were excited about the day we got together? I can't remember what they were called.
I see you got the CO2 hooked up or at least under the tank.
