Just wanted to start a journal as far as the development of my 90g goes. This is considered a low light tank, seeing that there I'm running only about 180watts over a 90g (standard size)
Your tank is looking very nice, love your congo tetras. Can't wait to see future pics, Im sure with time it will look a lot nicer. What plants are in your tank? co2? Substrate?
I just have amazon swords, jungle vals, and some other unknown as of right now petco plants. Oh and one crypt that I've had for yeaaaaaaaaaaaars! It's small but just simply will not die.
No co2 as of right now, and substrate is the most inert, plain black gravel with root tabs near the swords.
btw, which camera and lenses are you using?
I sold my camera, but my gf got mad at me since i forgot her graduation was coming soon and she wanted me to take pictures of it, long story short i found a good deal and bought a used Sony a300 DSLR and wanted to know if its capable of taking great pictures like yours.
That looks great! Wether you have high or low lighting also depends of what type of light you have. If you had 180w of T5HO light, you would have an algae filled glass container. If you have 180w of T8 lighting, you have a medium lighting.

Just got my 2217 in, took the time to clean and organize my cabinet and make a spot for the filter. Pictures will be uploaded once I get this filter installed...
Edit: ALSO got 7 BEAUTIFUL jungle vals off ebay, man they are the biggest widest leaves I've ever seen on a jungle val, healthy healthy looking plants, no stringy little vals.
Thank you so much, I love them too. I have no idea how many, but I know when I first put them in there they weren't getting along for the first day....
Next day they started getting along.... I don't think I'm going to push it with more, I'm happy that 3 full size angels are getting along right now.
I've seen discus in 90's definitely. Just gotta keep up on the water changes with discus'.... daily...
Discus are not that that hard to keep up with. I had one and only did water changes weekly with really hard water. I had to sell my tank and gave him away, but he was happy and always begged for food.
I think the rule for discus is 1 for every ten gallons Minimum. Might be the same for angels, im no expert.
My new additions as of today are 4 roseline sharks. Got them for 17 each, price WAS 25$ each but I got them down to 17 each. Not bad for them around these parts. Really beautiful fish, and they school nicely.

I'm trying to work out what these guys are - from what I can determine, they appear to be a Gold Pencil Fish? I'd love some, but need to work out what they are to track some down through my supplier... Also assuming I can get them in Australia....
EDIT: Roseline Shark/Torpedo Barb.... Any Aussies know where I can get some?
Bought $25 worth of plants today from my LFS. Wanted to get some stem plants, had a lot of root feeders before. Rescaped a good amount of it only leaving a couple things in place. Water is cloudy cause I moved a lot of the substrate around while moving plants...
Thank you much! When I was moving the driftwood one of the angels went nuts and knocked itself out it seemed on the glass, then was swimming upside down, then got stuck to the filter... I very carefully took it off the filter intake and did a 50% water change and it perked right back up again.
