120 Gallon Getting started

[crazycracker]

Ok - Some new pics. The tank still has a good amount of cloudiness. Not sure why. All my test are coming back almost Perfect (Nitrate 5.0 ppm - API test) But that's because of the "Bio Load" now.

13 - Rummy Nose Tetras
13 - Cardinal Tetras
5 - Green Hump Corys (Emerald Green)
1 - Brilliant Turquoise (Hans Discus) - more coming VERY soon

12ish Plants - (2) Anubius (4) Swords (2) Crypts (2) Lily (1) ??? - can't remember

Been a week - thinking of 20% water change today

Looks good. What kind of swords do you have in there? Doesn't look like they're just Amazon swords in the last picture.

I can't remember the name of the "redish" - I looked @ a some many different plants & this will be my 1st planted tank. But they were either Red Rubin or Red Flame (Echinodorus). Still learning w/ live plants. There are 2 of the "red swords" & 2 of the amazon swords

OK - I am sorry I've been slacking on posting some new pics. Been working 6 days a week & 10 hr shifts. So u kinda see why I haven't been posted. Well I lost 1 plant in the last month & lost my original Discus - I am NOT really sure why. Tested all my water & everything came back perfect. I added 8 Han Discus (about a month now w/ no issues) - 2 Flachen, 2 Silver Pig, 1 Blue Pig, 1 Red Pig, 1 Fire Red, & 1 Cobalt. I was thinking of adding @ least 2 more maybe 4. But I am undecided & holidays $$$'s a little tight. I still debating it. So here are some updated pics.

[crazycracker]

The wind finally stop blowing early afternoon. It was still raining this morning but the hard stuff was early this morning. It was coming done BAD. Yes, I really like the 120 gallon. Was a little unsure @ 1st. But no regrets. I trying 2 remember time frame. Going 2 say about 9 months maybe 10. My Rummy's stay @ the bottom all together. The Neon's stay towards the top but not always together. It's a little weird but everybody seems happy. Thanks 4 the thumbs up.
