12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

[12 Volt Man]

yeah, I love the filamentosa and I have yet to ever have them grow up yet.

both times I have had a school I have had to sell them just when they are getting colourful.

but on the other hand, I have always loved discus and I have been out of the discus hobby for a few years now. they are relatively easy to keep (provided you have clean warm water and feed them well) and are so cool looking...

I had some red turquoise back in the 90's that were awesome. I think I still have some pics around but they are 35mm pics.

time will tell which way I go..

tank came in. going to pick it up shortly. yay!

50g tank is here. freshly made to order LOL. black silicone still smells like vinegar.

<inhales>

nothing beats the smell of a freshly made aquarium.

its better than that new car smell

Upgraded the lighting on my 65 planted to an AquaticLife T5HO fixture with two Hagen Powerglo 18,000K bulbs (78w total):
