some of my other friends from africa.

How big is that clown loach? My wife had 10 she raised from babies (less than an inch long) to over 6 inches in 75 gallon fw tank. The first night they made the clicking sound I almost broke my neck getting down the stairs. I would have bet money the tank cracked.

Really good to see this beautiful setup back up and running.
It's always caught my eye - something about that rimless tank and that surround. Your beer lip influenced our stand design for sure! We went with a quartz beer lip on ours. Also - your coral beauty is nice; get us a closeup!

Lol Im working on a 240 cube. Stilll in the getting the pieces together part.
I may end up buying a used 180 I found locally and make my wife a freshwater planted tank and fill it full of loaches. Those fish are so amazing. My wife hand fed hers everyday. Spoiled rotten fish
