Pic of my 37gal soon to be Gourami/Peaceful comm. tank

:headbang2:It's finally back in my room after getting new carpet and painting the room.

setup details:
rena xp1
diy pvc spraybar that goes all the way across the tank
hydor theo 100watt heater
2 layered substrate, first layer is sand, top is crushed coral
rockwork
standard flourescent lighting

The bubbles still need to come off the glass but the filter is all cycled and the tank is ready for fish.

Whatcha think? Let me know. :dance:

thats quite the beautiful tank! what does the crushed coral do for the tank? or is it purely cosmetic?

 

[bitbot]

Looks good, but is the crushed coral a good idea for gouramis?

 

[coach_z]

that is very nice. your stand looks a little small though? maybe it is just the way it is pictured.

also, fyi, crushed coral will raise your PH a bit

 

[ChrisK]

A great start

 

[Christopherb]

yeah, I have done many water changes and rinsed the crushed coral very well, so hopefully my PH won't be too high.

The stand is a bit small, I added a layer of 3/4" high quality plywood to the top to lengthen it for the tank.. It is very stable and the original stand was built with 2x4's so it's plenty strong.
