It has been awhile since I have posted on this site. Life has been busy and I lost the passion for my hobbies for a while But it has slowly come back. I'll be posting a some pictures later on in the day. I had wanted to have this tank set up a year ago but things didn't work out. I finally got around to finish the stand to where it's decent and functional . The dimension of the tank are 84"x 24"x24" its acrylic . I'm running a 108 gallon sump for the filter. I'm using k1 media and poret foam. I'm want to do a black water set up for my Altums but I have not figured out how I want to do it. There will be no plants in the tank just sand and wood. I want with a dark blue back ground . I turned out a lot better than expected .
Here are a few pictures of the tank

It's going to look great young grass-hopper. lol
Those Altums have a nice chunky body on them and I’m sure will be pleased with their new Biotope tank.

Is that the sump for saltwater?

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
No it's an acrylic tank that had built in dividers. One section of dividers got removed
It's perfect for running K1 media
Thanks Pat. I'm waiting for the water to clear up and I'll post a full tank picture right now it doesn't look that great

I see. Thanks for informing me about that. At first look, I thought it was designed for saltwater set up, but I took a look again, and it was not. It's looking good so far. Keep us post.
Great work! I can't wait for the fts.
nice job looking forward to seeing more pics.
Superb looking Angels, Dave, and your discus aren't at all shabby either !
Nice to see you back posting again - it's been a while. Say hello to your good lady for me - gosh it's been years since I've seen you guys !
Some nice round discus in that bunch. Almost perfectly round.

Thanks Paul. Yes it has been a long time. I think my wife and I should take a trip out to your place in the new year. Yes the large Angels are pretty big. They make the large discus pair i have look small. I had a couple even bigger angels but they passed away. I hope all is well with you and your family
