Awesome ... great looking tank!!

Thanks man! Compared to your planted 150, this tank looks like a desert. Appreciate the bump either way though! If you get bored and want a challenge, call me, take one of my severum and see if you have any pruning to do on you plants! :evil_lol:

great job!

Thanks! you have the BEST AVATAR EVER!
 
What a beautiful tank!!!

That's a fantastic looking tank, man. I really dig the fish selection you chose to stock it with, too.

Thanks! They are very happy. I pulled those two large geos from a tank at the LFS socked with large silver dollars and a REALLY IRITATED pleco.

Great looking tank, very nice. I cannot wait to get a big tank.

Thanks! Do it soon, you won't regret it. Some killer deals going on CL right now.

Thanks!. I am no where near done with stocking now that I will be setting up the 135. Some of these fish are going in the 135 when up and running, the Satanoperca, my smaller L240, L213, L134 and a large group of Geophagus Sp. Tapajos read heads, allot of them and a small group of Sterbai cories. And the little balls of roots I used to call amazon swords (thanks severums... :irked:)

I will be putting 4 more Abalios in this tank once the Satanoperca and L240 has been moved.

Stay tuned....
 
UPDATE

I am going to be kicking in some updated pics of some of the different SA residents in the tank. Some of these fish will not stay in this tank, they will be moving to the new tank soon but just for fun, here ya go.

The Acarichthys Heckelii have gotten allot bigger, when the Satanoperca and the red heads move out, I will be getting two more. Check out the threads on the male, they have really started coming in nicely! :woot:

The Geophagus Sp. Red Head Tapajos are probably one of my favorite two fish. These guys are itsy bitsy teeny weeny! Juvies growing out and getting ready for the 135g. Sorry for the last two pics being blurry, my camera and I had words and it won... :rant2: I had to put the pics in though cuz it shows the "dominent" of the four my buddy.
