Since I can't convince you to go with CA's I guess I have to say congratulations. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in the tank. It looks so amazing empty I don't know how I am going to control my jealousy once their are fish in it.

I understand, you had a bunch of ideas on the fish that you wanted but in the end you went with the fish that your wife told you that you wanted. It's okay, it's nothing to be ashamed of.NOLAGT;3060788; said:
It was really a win win for me becasue I get to keep the fish...it just makes her feel important to pick lol. Really tho I wanted the larger CA's but if I could have got a deeper tank in place.LowCel;3061009; said:I understand, you had a bunch of ideas on the fish that you wanted but in the end you went with the fish that your wife told you that you wanted.

Wow that's a lot of lot. I only have 450w MH on my 220 that's 30" high and that's plenty. I like the lights in the stand, I did that too. I'm still searching for a switch to connect tot he doors so it operates when the door opens. I turn it on and forget to turn it off for days.
There was a place in New orleans that used to do that in there stands. I dont know how they did it but thats not a bad idea.Danger_Chicken;3062344; said:
The lights so far are just right for me...they are not as bright as you think with all the black and them being so far from the water. But we will see how some fish look once it clears up. Still has that murky haze to it.
I just hooked up my 2 xp3's tonight. They are just for mech filtration so in each one is a total of 2 course sponges 3 finer sponges and one polishing pad. Now I just have one mag 18 left to get running once I work on the overflow teeth...
I also saved/picked up 2 synodontis eupterus. I went to my LFS to get some food for the new fish tomorrow and they had these 2 guys in a tank with a lot of other fast moving fish...that and I dont think the LFS likes to feed the fish too much so they stay cleaner (dumb). Anyway I wanted one and my bro n law did to so I grab them up and tossed them in. They been tucked away mostly...pics to come.
