Hi all,

I don't post frequently, but I wanted to share how my tank looks like.
Fish might not be the biggest or the perfect shape ones, yet I am very happy with them.
They range from 5" to 6"+... Most came from Kenny and Mike. 12 in total at this point.

So far, my only wish would be to upgrade the tank to be 220g high with smaller overflow boxes. More space, more fish.
This is one of the first Oceanic reef ready tanks, so these overflows were their first attempt to make high end tanks. A bit too big of dead space, I believe these about 15 to 20 gallon each.
So, all and all, I only have about 140g usable tank space.

Would love to hear you thoughts, too many plants? Too many fish?

Looks like a nicely scaped tank to me. Other peoples opinions don't matter. It's your tank and you put all of the work in to it. As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

I think your tank looks wonderful.
Discus Freddy is nicly spotted and love the albino next door.
Pics are very small to view others but knowing they are from Kenny and Mike speaks for themselves as quality Discus.

Hi,

It is call echinodorus tenellus or narrow leaf chain sword plant.
It is not difficult to grow despite temp or lighting condition.
