125 Tanganyikan Setup

[carpediem]

I just put this together yesterday. It's still a little milky but you get the idea. It's going to house 6 Fronts, 3 Calvus, and possibly some Brichardi.

Well, it's not clearing up as fast as I would like it to but here are a couple more pics.

Details:

125 gallon All-Glass with All-Glass oak stand and canopy
2 - Eheim ECCO 2236 canisters
2 - 300 W Theo heaters
DIY fluorescent: 2 - 24" lamps with 4 total bulbs, 2 plant/aquarium and 2 high spectrum sun.
260 pounds of mixed shale and river rock
120 pounds of CRS Sand - African Cichlid Mix
75 pounds of CLI Gravel - Shallow Creek
I mixed blue and black acrylic paint to get a nice midnight blue color and painted the back glass. It looks really sweet.
Tomorrow I'm going to fabricate some nice DIY spray bars and put them along the top of the side glass on each end, spraying toward the middle of the tank. Then I'm going to seed the tank with some ceramic bio-beads I've had working in a couple of my filters for 6 months. I may also add a whisper bio-wheel because I don't think the two canisters are going to be able to pull off full duty.
