thanks everyone! as i said, the clowns are going to have to come out, but I picked up a baby synodontis decorus cat today, since I really really miss my old big one..

the syno is in quarentine for a week or so, to make sure I don't have to deal with Ich in a 150..

Looking great!! Plan on adding any driftwood? (didn't feel like reading all the way back)

driftwood would look amazing, but it really doesn't work with large active fish.

it would be okay now, while everyone is small.

but once the redhooks are 6-8" and the lemons 18" it just becomes a big hazaard as they get spooked..

years ago I had nice wood in my 90 with big fish and everyone once in a while a fish would run into the wood at full speed, and well, fish can get injured..

so no wood unfortunately..

Found this thread only today. Very nice 150g setup, I also like the 65g with archers. You mentioned keeping disucs and I have been looking into setting up/changing over a tank to get some. So, comparing discus to other fish that you have kept are they that much more demanding?
