Hello from socal

Hello everyone nice to meet you all.

Here is my setup.

65 gal fresh water. Planted with Anubis , amazon sword , and jungle Val.
Just started using co2 injection and in the process of fine tuning the mixture to my tank.
Using a fluval 305 and a custom co2 diffuser on the discharge.
Using a submersible fountain pump with a rotating deflector head on the discharge to help keep the water circulating good.
Currently I am only using carbon and biomax pellets for my filter.

Occupants.

Male and female 7 stripe blue frontosa
male and female calvus
2 Bali sharks
4 golden gourami
small Pleco
culi loach
2 large spot cats
2 dwarf yellow cichlids
10 feeders

Good looking tank...Just to let you know that frontosa's are pack fish and need to be in packs of 8-12 in aquariums....

The frontosa were given to me. I would like to add some more females but they are not cheap. Strangely the frontosas and the calvus tend to stick together. The male frontosa is pretty much the gentle king of the tank . The two cats usually hot rod around the tank at night and the only aggressive fish is the male calvus . My main consern has been the plants with the cichlids. I am pleased to say it has gone very well and the plants are really starting to flourish. It's tricky learning where the cichlids will tolerate plants and where they will not.
