No comments huh....
Well Anyway.
I'm thinking I need a better showcase fish and may ditch the German Blues.
Any Ideas?

Nice looking tank! Can't wait to see it filled in. Don't worry about the comments, my threads are the same. Only the popular folks get feedback. Gotta be part of the "in-crowd" here

+1 on needing it to fill in. It looks a little bare right now. I really like the white sand though. It seems like everyone is doing black lately.

I'd keep the GBR's. One of my favorite fish, but I could really see some congo tetra's in your tank.
