Johnnnn_h first 135 gal photos (56k warning)

Just took a few more of the hood. The lighting is from ah supply: two 96 watt pc in back and two 55 watt pc in front



Two cooling fans on a speed controller as the temp goes up the fans speed up.




The inside is painted gloss white , and the outside was stained to match the stand,,,, thain a few coats of spar polly varnish to seal everything.



And now I have to learn how to take pictures in the tank with the lights on!

Full front

Thanks!!
Right now I am trying to keep the algae at bay, and not loose the hole thing.

Yea,,,,, I think you'r right, the white pvc spraybarrs on eack side in the front have to go.
Some more watter movement is needed, lots of junk on the substrate, mabie a few big jets.
There are three filters and I might combine two intakes into one larger, clear intake.

I keep forgetting about the background, that would be a pretty big improvement.

And for the fish right now:

4 long finn danio
4 tiger danio
2 lyertail mollies, and the mollies do eat algae
6 ottos
1 rubber nose pleco
4 corry cats
2 glass shrimp

For the fish in the future,,,, well I am throwing around the idea of an R.O. filter, the water here is pretty hard,
GH 19 deg. & tank is higher, I think it is the plantex micro. that is driveing it higher.
Yesterdays project was installing a water softener, and I put in a valve to feed an R.O. filter.

I really want to try to breed some neons,,,,, and have a big school.
Hatchets a few diferent kinds,,, but they jump
and I think the Kuhli Loach is on the list.

And If I don't get an R.O filter black skirt tetra might handle the hardness,,,,right now still thinking about it.
