This is my 55 gallon, it is still cycling.




I plan to get some Kuhlis, definitely want those, then a pair of angels, a clown pl*co. I am still working out what else to get, but most likely I will be going for blackskirt tetras and five banded barbs.


I love the pool filter sand which my kuhlis should enjoy. I think it looks great, pain in the butt to wash though. (Spent a few hours washing the sand and then it still made the tank cloudy and didn't clear up for almost 2 days). The sand cost me $12 but I only used half the bag so I was very pleased.

Lots of fake plants, a few from my old 29 and the java ferns from my 29.
Lots of rocks (I sat in the floor at the store making little rock structures for about an hour until I finally found some rocks I liked)
Then I have the big fake log thingy, great hiding place, also came from my 29.
And then there are a few other little things that came from my 10 and 29.


It has two power filters, Penguin Biowheel 170?/Whisper 60, they came with the tank so I'm using them. Luckily the Whisper has the same size cartridges that my 29g had so I popped those in to help get the tank cycling.
Whisper 60 air pump (which I got mainly so I could put that darn croc somewhere.
200W? heater
32 W Light (eventually when I have some more money I will get a better light so I could have a larger variety of plants, or maybe if I have time I could do some DIY lighting).
