Here are the pics, if they dont work post and i'll get links to my uploaded pics. I got the whole thing for 30$ NEW!!!!! LOL it was great, the LFS owned me back about 100$ so instead he just hooked me up and with everything, heater, hood, filter, etc for cheap. Im gonna set it up by tonight, Im so happy I got it finnaly. The tank will be lightly planted and the substrate is a very tiny tiny brown/tan/black. Cories only :D

Cories all of one species? This fall they'll spawn for you, after the summer heat is over.
A Corydoras species tank is a splendid idea.
A troop. How many?

You should try making some sort of step system in the tank so that the cories will be located all the way from the bottom to near the top of the tank. That would look cool, maybe even with little caves in the steps.

Love the all cories idea! Those are one of my favorite fish :)
I also like TKOS idea of the multiple levels in the tank, not sure exacly how you would accomplish that, but definitely worth looking into.
Will cories not spawn in the summer even though they're in controlled conditions?

The tank has now
2 Skunk Cories
5 Aenus Cories
2 Peppered Cories
2 Albino Cories
Once the tank is a little more cycled I will add 2 more skunks, 3 pandas and some other cories, I will be doing landscaping later on as said with elevation in substrate such as hills soon..:D

Cool Idea. You might want to try doing it like they do for the exibits fro subteranean animals at zoos. Have hills and stuff like right up next to the glass and have caves you can see throught the glass. I cant realy figure out how to say it but....yeah

Actually I have in a three-floored house. Im redesigning my bedroom, we just painted the walls baby blue and south of the bed is the aquarium. I have the flat screen Tv right above the fish tank. Im still deciding on what images I will frame on the wall (Mainly game Images) and I still need to find a way to have my PS2 elevated with the flatscreen for midnight gaming hehe lol.

Why would you need to have your Ps2 elevated? You can just get longer cords if the one's you have now do not fit. As for the images, you can get posters and stuff from magazines like Official U.S. Playstation magazine, Electronics Gaming Monthly, and GamePro, all of which the loser I am have. My favorite is the Playstation Mag because its only about playstation and it come's with a demo disc. Anyway, about them fish...;)
