I set this tank up about a month ago and the fish are loving it and they seem to have grown since I took them out of the 50G they grew out in. Stocklist is on the youtube page. Enjoy!

Great looking set up. What kind of background are you using?

Thanks guys! I didnt want a plain blue background for this tank and I normally do black backgrounds but I didnt want to affect their colors so I got this one. To descirbe it I'd say its "waves crashing" that fades into dark blue ocean. Its got rocks and driftwood on the other side. The backround was the only thing I was "Iffy" on so im glad you like it.:antlers:

Thanks!

I think that with the lighting that you're using the seascape background gives the illusion of greater depth to the tank. I like it, well done.

Nice tank layout. Everything looks clean and the fish look Great. with that nice driftwood you should find a tight knit group of danios that school tighter to swim around that instead of so spread out. would make a cool effect with that ocean background with tight schooling fish forming a ball formation.

There are 5 pieces of DW in there. Two to the left of the big piece and two to the right. I got it from a local guy who ordered a whole pallet of the stuff. He's got lots of big pieces but this one caught my eye.

Gotta love Discus Hans. Great quality fish. They all look like show fish. Awsome set up. I'm jealous. Very dramatic and the fish seem happy in their new home. Nice job.
