Really awesome looking tank. Best of luck with it! I would love to have a tank that big!

That looks really cool! Nice idea with the cave. I'd definately get some Malaysian Trumpet Snails in there to burrow through the substrate and keep it stirred up though, wouldn't want those deep areas around the cave to become anaerobic.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone!

I definitely will have some MTS in here. Hopefully they will be effective.

Well we are still trying to pick out lighting for this tank. I am really not interested in MH or HPS. So far it looks like this one.

Anyone have any experience with this one?

Wow that tank is beautiful! I love the cave/acropolis, looks like an underwater archeological dig, super
And that's a great piece of wood too.

Lots of people don't want them, and will give them away free, or inexpensively. I know one LFS around here sells them for something like 10 or 12/$1, I guess as a feeder snail or something.
