Looks nice! I think when the plants start growing it'll look even sweeter
Thats looking pretty cool. I'm excited to see how it fills in. All you guys with your beautiful planted tanks are giving me the itch to try a real planted tank. I think you said something about no CO2 on this one, is that right?
48w or 54w?No CO2, running 2x48W T5 HO, planted low light plants. Most of what we planted could be grown emersed so they could be cool in a planted tank, vivarium, whatever.
Yes, they are South American. Their real colors don't show up in the pics, they show some quite beautiful (yet subtle) greens and blues when they aren't acting all shy.Nice, I'll be hitting you up for some of those soon, hoping to get one of the 40Bs set up first, but students are kinda slow at the rock-scaping.
Don't know anything about these cichlids, but I assume they are an American variety based on their colors/appearance? Are they hard to keep?
Same genus, so I suppose yes they are!The tetras are beautiful, I have not seen those ones around here in SCaliforna....are they cousins of the Serpae tetras?

Wow the Mesounautas are big!
Looks like the plants started to grow already!. Besides the root tablets, Are you adding any thing else for the plants?
Wow, amazing!
Makes me want to start up another large tank.
Ok, who am I kidding, I'm just using yours as an excuse, I've been wanting another large tank for months now.
120 gallons just doesn't look that big anymore.
Ya, a 120 really isn't big enough to properly keep a group of clown loaches in the long haul. One reason I have kubotai botias in mine. Clowns aren't as attractive when they're more than 4-5" IMO, their colors look more washed out as they grow.LOL! We want an even larger tank so we can get more clown loaches. 120 gallons just doesn't look that big anymore.
What!!!! You just got the tank and 120 gallons does not look big! That's like the Titanic of tanks to me
