Almost 3 weeks without new pictures.... come one D. don't be lazy!!!

I let it cycle for about 30 minutes. I took a lot of things from my old tank and put it into this tank like all of the plants. I also transfered my 2262 straight to the new tank and started to run it. Best way to cycle the tank IMO if you can. I also added a bottle of Seachem Stability for precaution.

Nice tank. What did you do to cycle your tank? How long did you let it cycle for before you added fish?

[myjohnson]

lol, well it's not like a surprise or anything.

But yeah, I couldn't help it and had to put it out there.

Or you can go all out on a tropheus/petro tank! )

Of course you would say that!

I am thinking about 10 - 14 only with a ton of tetras.

Very impresve man, both the tank and the effort. Amazing what your what able to do in a weeks time!

Thanks. Yeah that was working on the tank from after work at 6 to about 12. Didnt even seem like it was that late when I started to get tired

I am thinking about 10 - 14 only with a ton of tetras. The dimensions are 72x36x30. The whole thing stands about 8 feet high with canopy and my guess weighs about 1.5 tons. The amazing part is its held up by 7 2x4's and 3/4" plywood all around.

Just out of curiousity, what are the dimensions on this beast?

[TaTeR ToT]

That tank and layout is awesome!

I would definatly get like 2x 150 watt halides.
I got mine, and I wil never go back to regular flourescents.


How many discus do you plan on kepping in this tank?

So I guess we won't be seeing any more pics of a half-naked Darbex inside his tank again anytime soon!
