Right now it's just two power compact bulbs. I have four more to go in there though.

I have a sump but some one stepped on my overflow and broke it I'm using a Rena Filstar X4 right now but at some point the sump is going back in.

No skimmer at the moment. I'm thinking of getting a hang on style skimmer but they cost to damn much for their poor performance.

I only have two fish at the moment but there are a crap ton of mushrooms and polyps. They're all hiding in the photo because the tank was literally just setup.

I got a killer set up for FREE! So my uncle got a GOLD Arowana for his birthday, well, it lived for a month and he sucks at keeping fishes, and so it died. His apartment was very small and he just gave me this set up.

80 Gallon rounded corner glass tank
* 2 Fluval 404's
* Fluorescent T8 x2, and T5 x 2 (Actinic blue) (4 lights in all, very bright)
* Stand and a 300 watt heater
* 11 watt UV Sterilizer, which I don't use much, but it's great to make water clear!!

**I once had gravel but it gets dirty and filthy when keeping larger fishes, so to make cleaning easier, i removed pretty much everything. The fish is a show piece. I paid $220 bucks for him "Lucky" is his name, when he was a juvenile 2.5". Now he's larger than a pancake at Ihop with nice big forehead.

He's a ZZ Red Dragon Flowerhorn, very smart and active. When I feed him, I rub his forehead, it's cool!!!

I change his water about once a week, sometimes once every 1.5 weeks. Use a little Amquel or more recently PRIME and a little salt which makes him super happy.

I feed him Super Red premium food, which is about $35 bucks a bean can sized package. Will buy SUMO food which is about $28 bucks. Same thing. He's very healthy and the colors, head, and pattern is amazing.

Newer, no gravel.





I've collected many tropical fishes, and now I enjoy showcasing the fishes, instead of the decorations.

I'd take pictures, but my tank is kinda nasty. When I can't get Scripps water I lag on the changes.

i got this little brackish tank goin



with a Tetraodon Nigroviridis, green spotted puffer.







this fish is a killer.

he will tear apart anything I add to the tank, other than the plecostomus that chills in the cave.

Its fun to watch him eat snails, shrimp, and feeder guppies. fiddler crabs are the best though because they put up a bit of a fight.

BEFORE:
NOW:





just filled it about a third of the way, going to walmart for polyfill and carbon. some of the plants still have some green, they may come back... either way the fish store i bought everything from last time, and every time, is going out of business, so i bet i get some good deals on fish for this thing. gotta get it cycling...
i won't be buying that bullshit on the left of the tank again, it looks like shit imo. not sure about fish this time. i want some discus but i don't know what else. thinking about getting a bunch of neons to cycle the tank, maybe move them into my 10g later.
