And so it begins

[jhenry]

Come on take the plunge they're not that hard

[sunkenmetal]

I'm afraid of those for now. It's a huge learning curve. So fresh water for me!

its alright lol

how is the cycle coming along

[SunnyHouTX]

You know it's only a matter of time Justin I need to learn about trophs first though.

Tank parameters are good. Gonna start moving fish soon, maybe this evening, but weekend for sure.

[sunkenmetal]

cool :)

Jumped the gun and picked up BeefyG's peacocks from Tim and they settled in nicely this afternoon and I added the rest from my 55 gal just a little while ago. I like how it turned out, mostly how the color of the fish pop out against the black stone and background. Now I begin work getting the wet/dry working for more filtration while I set up the troph tank.

So the current livestock list is as follows:

2 white labs
2 yellow labs
2 red zebras
3 aceii
2 deep water haps
1 red empress
1 kenyi
2 red fin borleyi
1 strawberry peacock
1 taiwan reef (not sure exactly)
16 BeefyG peacocks (what kind are they?)
3 bristle nose plecos

Quick video:

Looks good sunny... Thanks for the video but where is the Juggernaut???

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks man. Juggernaut is chilling in the 55 gal. I'm having second thoughts about putting crawfish in the 125 gal, I like the way it is now. Also, when they molt, I think having that many peacocks around is a bad idea.

You are probably right... what are your plans for the 55 gallon?

[SunnyHouTX]

I've lost one crawfish like that, so I thought it best not to let history repeat itself.

The 55 gal is going to house trophs. Going to start working on it asap. 2x 2215 eheims, 2x 70 gal hobs, and a 1300 gph maxi jet are going into that set up.

[jhenry]

That's a hell of a list they. Many different variants. Should be a color shmorgusborg.

[SunnyHouTX]

Yes it is Didn't have the heart to discard any of them man.

Nice... im pretty sure that amount of filtration will keep that tank clean!

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah, the troph gurus recommend bountiful filtration LOL

Added the last for the tank: 6 red peacock juvies, hoping for a good M:F ratio



They're settling in well, eating everything in sight.
