12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

[12 Volt Man]

Lemonfin update: as expected, they are starting to grow very fast.

the first pic was taken Feb. 20th, the second pic today.

you can see how as they are growing, they are getting much thicker in the body, thanks to lots of food that they probably never got at the LFS.

VERY NICE. One of my favorite threads!

Lots of growth there! You've got clown loaches again?

yes, but they are not for the 150. they won't get any food there with the herd of Lemonfins.

they are for my 65g.

That's more sensible yeh, they are better in your 65G.

picked up some nice angels and some ludwigia for the 65g.

the angels didn't go into the hospital tank as one of the new bushynose I got the other day is dead.

if that is a problem tank, I didn't want to put these guys into it..

WOW!!! First I wanna thank you 12 Volt Man for a heck of an adventure. Started on p1 & rode this 'coaster' all the way. (true, I did skip a couple of the 'waiting for the arrival' threads) But once it arrived I was on the edge of my seat for the entire ride . Great chronicle. Stopped once to pour some more Jack Daniels (kiddies don't try this at home , I'm a pro) then right back at it. So sorry for the losses but as you well know it kinda goes w/ the territory. Like that you fell back to the Red Hooks (wanna try a few myself maybe). I hear ya about the 2 'grand' initial layout. My wife has no idea to this day how much I gave 'Tenecore' but she was happy w/ the look cause it was gonna be in the living room.
Keep up the good work & best of luck with your new charges. "T"
(Some amounts are best unspoken to wives!!)

Thanx for the flowers. Didn't think about it when I started (that pics 4 yrs old). Will keep it in mind for my next project. Gotta sell the 'Better Half' on the necessity of a LARGER tank!! (lol) "T"
