got a few pics of the tank with fish now in. yes the glass is dirty. there is lots of cardinals. neon s and rummy nose, 8 discus and 15 or so small black angels in the tank.

this is from the 4ft side. looking down 6ft of length.

this is a higher iso shot to actually show the fish, as in the last they are just blurs...

Thats nuts gav!

Looks awesome as it is now - will look even better when those discus grow out bigger, and dare I say it you add more discus!

The big school of neons/cardinals would look fantastic swimming around in there!

Keep the photos coming mate.

this is from the 4ft side. looking down 6ft of length Wow, a tank that is 6ft by 4ft wide, I am sooo jealous. No wonder your discus look so tiny in there. You definitely have room for more hehehe

Love to keep seeing more pictures of such a nice big planted tank. Is it a new setup? What is your lighting & substrate & do you plan C02.

Great looking tank. Get some more discus man! If I can make a suggestion go with a red turq, to even out the coloring. Still you can't go wrong with anything you put in that tank.

red turqs are on the shopping list as i agree they will even out what i have nicely.

for lighting, there is currently 2 6ft dalbarb lights with red tubes in them. then there is one t5 4ft light on the right side over most the plants. might get one more t5 to help a couple of spots where the plants need a little more light. no plans for co2 tho as most of the plants i have are slow growers and dont really need it.

substrate is from aqua one and is just a plain black colour. totally inert and looks great.
