Well I finally moved and got the 135 setup. Right now the RD's in there with a small pair of Convicts (male about 2" and F about 1"- they have actually already spawned once). Also in the tank are 2 mad barbs which I learned will get way too large (25"+) but for now they'll be in there. I've had them about a yr and there in between 8-9" each. Still thinking about adding a Vieja or some other large dude.

Here the tank, I did get an aquaterra BG, this one doesn't hide the filtration very well but I did jimmy it to hide the intake tubes and heater. I am running a 405 and 304 fluvals. I will be getting another 405 in the next week or s and the 304 will go back on the JD's 55. There are 2 differnt lights in there right now i think I prefer the right side but feel free to comment.



The JD will have the 55 to himself although there is a small female con (1" ) in there that I didn't notice went in with him. I'll leave her in there for now and probably eventually move her. Here's the 55, the filters are temporary as the 304 will go in this and I will be able to hide everything fairly well. I used flourite as substrate to give a different look to the tank. I paid very little for it as my fav pet store is going out of business. On a sad not the JD is by himself because I lost the femme in the move. Not sure what happened but she is gone.



Feel free to comment on either tank and make any suggest for mates.

Sorry I do not like the two colours, at first I thought I was looking at one tank with a division in fact I find it rather distracting.

With the second tank I like the backing but I find it rather glarey it could be where you have the light or is it a shining surface?

There are no intentions to keep the 2 different lights its just what I had on hand. I think I like the brighter light on the right side b/c it seems like more natural lighting. I will change it as soon as I get the chance.

On the 55 this pic did come out a bit bright, I typically only turn on one side. Here's another pic that seems to be more true to the actual look. It is not a shinning surface but i think the light is reflecting as the the surface is somewhat white. Once Algae covers it, it should look better.

That looks a lot better also I agree with you the RH side is a better light.

As a tank ages it always seems to become more of a natural look.
