New Tank almost there!!

So as you all know I had to leave the hobby for awhile, and been trying to get back into it..... Well, do to some personal complications it has taken allot longer than anticipated.... Finally, I got a tank I liked, stand, canopy, lights, substrate, and wet dry filter all together.

Picked up the 110Gal tank on CL, it came with the canopy and some cheap crappy home made lights, and the stand. (odd tank dimensions 48" 26" 20")

I wanted a wet dry filter setup, so I found one online and made the setup more permanent by using PVC instead of tubes..... Went large, 1.25 intake, 1"output...

Got the pump online, Odyssea WP1000 Water Pump with 1340gph

Got new lights from the same place, 36" 117W (3x 39W) T5 HO Trio Deluxe Light Fixture w/Built-in Digital Timer (has LED for night time)

Picked up the substrate (black sand) from a guy name larry I found on CL, I know he gets it from renton, I didnt want to make the drive.

Picked up 300watt aqueon heater from a local Fish shop, (jones and pets)

Painted the back of the tank black with some silicone spray paint stuff.....

Now all I have to do is get a couple feeders to cycle, pee in it, or borrow some used filter media from a friend.... (Think i want to pee in it, J/K).... I meeting icer to get some corals, and censeof is going in with me for some texas holey rock.... Should look epic!

I still have a 125gallon 6 foot tank with dual overflows and a wetdry sitting in my garage.... Anyone want it??? I got pictures I will put up, im even taking a loss just to get rid of it, give me 100 bucks for the tank 40 for the wet dry with bio balls

Im thinking of getting some tropheus Mplungu (sunspot) a nice WC group.... but, dont know for sure yet... I will give it some thought over the next week

Im still gettin another tank in which i plan on letting my WFB members decide what to put in it.... its probably going to be 55gal, so no monsters... sorry

Nice tank. Where is all this color you African guys talk about?

Hey madness! what do you expect, pink gravel??! lol, or are you talkin about the fish I may get??? lol just wait and see!! you will be badazzled!

Here is a tank with all lufubu... that is allot of purple.... I dont want to get a tank with all male mallawii or victorian fish..... thats too much color! video one shows what i am considering... video two shows too much color!

Of course the fish. Colored gravel?

should I go with a all male tank? just victorian or mallawii?? hmmm..... I like breeding though!

TOO MANY DECISIONS!!!! I need another tank! but that tank I promised it would be new world for you guys... DANGIT!

Looks like I will be purchasing fish from our GROUP BUY! RESERVE STOCK CICHLID IV .... let me know if you want to get something, located in the group buy section.

I do like the peacock and haps tank. Most definitely a eye catcher with those beautiful color

Nice looking tank!

Looks really nice so far. I think anything African would look great in that setup.

thanks betty, I agree on the african thing too.... Corals and black sand with the bright colors of some african fish always look the best!
