My New 55 Tank

[Araxen]

Here's the first day. It really looks like crap now but the filter and such will do it's work and clean it up for me!

Keep the pics coming, would be nice to see it once it's cleared.

What size is it, and what are you planning on stocking it with?

Day 2 -

The tank is 55 Gallons and I'm planning on moving over my fish from my 15 Gallon Tank which houses atm.

6 Harlequin Rasbora's
1 Neon Tetra
3 Otto's
3 Cory Cathfish

Once I get everything set I'm planning on this stocking:

10 Rasbora's
6 Neon's
3 Otto's
6 Cory Catfish
Clown or Polka Dot Loaches
and some plants

If my tank keeps clearing up at this rate my fish should be able to move in tomorrow *crosses fingers*

My fish family arrived in their new home today. The tank cleared up really nice.

Don't forget Algea wafers for the Otos. Nice looking Tank.

I have algae wafers and then some sinking wafers that both the cory's and the otto's eat so no worries.

Was Just About To Write That Lol ^^^^

And All I Can See Is A Little Harlequin At The Top Is That Black Sand Or Gravel?

All the fish in the tank are from my 15 Gallon tank..I put all the media from the 15 Gallon tank into the 55 Gallon tank. The fish will be fine.

Substrate is Black Sand.

hmmm....

Just a suggustion.....

you might want to lightly bury the decerations into the black sand to make it look more natural, instead of straight out on top... but then again, that is just me. Otherwise, envy from me on that tank size!
