Hi all. New member here so I figured I would start off by showcasing my Oscar tank. I have a 55 Gallon Oceanic Tank, Oceanic Cherry Stand, Coralife Aqualight 4x65w lighting System, Eheim 2026 Canister, and a Hydor EFT heater. This setup is home to my Oscar whose name is Homer, a few Clown Loaches (yes, I know they get big and will be moved someday) and two Clown Pleco's that never show their faces. I'm real proud of Homer as he was the first customer's fish pic to ever be put on the cover of That Pet Places Catalog. Here's some pix of the tank and Homer & the gang.

Great looking tank - can you post a wider shot so we can see the whole thing? Homer looks AMAZING.
 
Thanks for the comments! Here's a wide shot...not the best, and please excue the algae on the back :sad:

Its a little plain, but the water is nice and clear. BTW, the Hagen Bubble Walls really stink...the connections are bad and the air leaks :)

Did you remove the driftwood as a matter of taste, or was it rotten or something? Anyway, you're water looks crystal, and your fish are sure healthy! NICE.
 
I got rid of the driftwood because it was falling apart and I wanted to give Homer more swimming room. I am thinking of adding some again, but I need to find the right piece....if I find something that loox good in the corner of the tank I might do it.
 
Beautiful!
