[legendaryfrog]

Awesome tank. I like that you use a mixture of 10k lighting and actinics; not many people do that, but I think it looks better than the standard 6500k.

[rwilliams254]

Great looking tank!

[got2envy]

[mcox3]

what pump are you using?

[mattskims]

Looks great!!
Did I see some yo-yo loaches in there? They provide tons of entertainment in the tank.

[got2envy]

I am using a 1200gph Mag pump and also I have a Emperor 400 for carbon and top water movement..I cahnged the light to 2 aquaglo flourecents as the power compacts were causing serious algae problems..I was scraping and cleaning the plants once a week..the Ottos did good at first then just slcked off haha they got tired of cleaning :D I do have 2 clowns I had 3 but one disappeared :( and 2 angelicus botia..they look like yo-yo's just more expensive haha

[Rbishop]

Very sharp!
