Okay so I finished my stand finally, it was a long process since I do not have much time. I completely tore down the 55g to get it on the stand. Most of the plants in the old one were taken out and I picked up quite a few new ones. So this is it...

Equipment

- Standard 55g tank
- Fluval 305 filter
- GLO T5-HO 108w double bulb
- 2 200W heaters
- Milwaukee MA957 CO2 Regulator

I just received the regulator in the mail and all my other items should arrive soon so hopefully i will have the co2 up and running soon.

Livestock

- 2 Angelfish
- 1 Gold Ram (male)
- 1 GBR (female)
- 2 Bolivian Rams (pair)
- 2 BN Pleco
- 12 Harlequin Rasbora
- 6 Panda Cory
- 3 SAE
- 3 Otos

Tank looks great!! You just need a little sumthin, sumthin in the left corner to hide some of that hardware . . . maybe a stand of Vals.

But like I said it really looks great!
