12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

[12 Volt Man]

the tank measures 72 x 18 x 29.5 (outside dimensions)

its a lot more than 125g. based on the outside dimensions its actually a 165g.

Aqueon's version of a 150g holds 15g more water than most other manufacturers versions of the same tank (because it is 2.5" taller)

one of the reasons I went with this brand. that and the excellent build quality.

all is well thanks. how are your loaches/flagtail doing?

Doing good!

water change time again, which means its the only time I can get decent barb pics LOL.

these barbs are starting to get pretty big: esp. in the last few months, now that they are eating handfuls of tetra cichlid sticks LOL

I just blazed through the entire thread, catching up on everything you've done with this setup. I always make sure to look you up during my rare visits here. Glad to see that the tinfoils turned out not to be redtails.

some full tank shots of the big tank

I will try and get some decent flagtail shots soon. he is colouring up and growing well in the 65g planted.

I will try and get some flagtail shots up later. he usually runs from the camera, so bare with me LOL

Gorgeous lemon fins they are really starting to look impressive. You know, type of fish that even non fish nuts that come round to your house will stop and go "wow".

I await the flag pics!

thanks man. when small they don't look like much but when they get big their scale pattern really starts to show.

here are my flagtail shots:
