65 gallon LJ project

The loxozonus corydoras seem to be a bit more comfortable, or at least that's what I think, there are only two left and now they don't separate from each other, I still have problems with the siphon and hope to install the sump soon. Yesterday I took some photos:

Reactions: the loach
Don't get me wrong, I meant lighting upgrade for your viewing pleasure, more lighting isn't going to do that, mind both the CRI and temperature.
First pic of the blue angel really turned out excellent.
 
I would not misinterpret a comment from you, you have contributed a lot to this topic and I thank you for that. I love the photos in a somber tone, and the photo of the angel is great, I love that boy, although I must tell you that I have not yet captured all the details that this subject has in his body, he moves fast and is impossible for the camera. But it's as if a turquoise blue lightning adorns its scales, I can't wait to see it as an adult.
 
Currently, I have the opportunity to get a Red shappire Angelfish, this subject is a completely unusual fish, the order is made these days and I have the fish at the end of September, but the price is high, what do you think?
 
It looks like a full coverage koi angel... personally I think you could find something very similar for cheaper.
 
Hi Jay, thanks for your opinnion. Analyzing the situation, I think it's better to wait and see if the opportunity presents itself soon. Doing the calculation, the price of the fish would be presented in $87 dollars, interesting amount but right at this moment it would be rash to buy it, I still do not completely solve the pH problems in the tank, and the siphon simply did not work, yesterday I had an accident, the siphon was working with the sump, everything as it was supposed to work from now on, but out of nowhere the siphon discharged and stopped drawing water, at this point the return pump was still working (obviously) so it overflowed the tank and I throw about 20 liters of water to the ground, it was a disaster and I was furious, so no more experiments, I will make a decision to find a better filtration, since yesterday my last two corydoras died before my eyes. Take a photo of one of them and he passed away five minutes later, his last photo:

I'm sorry to hear that ! How did they behave the day before, and just before they died?
Their behavior was calm, they explored the tank from time to time. They all liked to stand on one of the rocks, and they spent a lot of time there. Although the death of all was the same, they were swimming normally, and suddenly they collapsed with their belly up and sometimes turned on their axis, until they died. I'm sorry I did not give these corydoras the conditions they needed, so I will improve the system before purchasing new corys.
