it’s a 45 gallon tall, dark water tank, a 10 inch bubble waterfall, and a modified Tidal 75, both on the right side, means it’s a highly cross flowing tank… with floating Asian water moss on half the tank, with a 6 inch floating plant ring, positioned to beam light down through the floating plants to the Anubis, the Moss flows down stream, and forms a thick blanket of plants, on the top left hand side… which I maintain at about half the surface… this tank is 24 inches deep, and with the dark water, it has 2 - 36 inch LED dawn to dusk lights, and has polished 1 inch black river rock on the bottom, and an upper and lower tangle of Java ferns, and a few peace lilies in hang on pots… this is my hardest tank to maintain, as it’s built in, and protrudes into the room, so it’s fully viewable from both long sides, the disadvantage is it can only be worked on from above one narrow side, and requires special tools, that I’ve either made, or collected, to maintain the tank… it’s really over stocked with nearly every African tetra I could get, but it’s working, and while it’s too crowded to get reproduction, I get to watch spawning activity nearly every day…

West African Congolese set up. This 60 gallon tank is 10 weeks old: 48”Wx18.5”Lx16”H. Fluval digital heater. Hygger lights. Aquaclear 110 HOB filter and an air powered sponge filter.
Stock: six a. thomasi (African butterfly cichlids), six a. caudalis (WC yellow tail Congo tetras) and a pair of WC p. pulcher- Ndonga.
Plants: Amazon swords, Cryptocoryne wendii and Anubias.

This is my 755ltr tank. It's been setup for just over a year. All fish were from my 450 ltr.
No idea on their ages other than Steve (Tiger Oscar) who is 3 years old. Everything else comes from 'second hand purchases'.
The Pothos growing on the top is the only viable plant these days because the Sailfin is too destructive. The ferts, just fish poo.
The tank runs on a sump. I previously ran filter socks but it was just too much faff when I can just change out the filter foam more often.
Stocking is pretty much what you see is what you get. There are also two different Raphael catfish, a cuckoo catfish, an upsidedown catfish and a Plec that is about 2 inches long. Everything ignores it and it spends most of it's time sucking wood. The cats were inherited with the old 450 ltr tank about 6 years ago.

This is my planted 75 gallon tank. It’s been up and running for about a year now and it all started with only a couple plants. All of the water wisteria you see came from one single plant I propagated over and over again. The Amazon sword on the right side is around 20 inches long. This tank is a dirted tank capped with 2 inches of pool filter sand and is fertilized with osmocote+ fertilizer. It’s filtered by 2 polar aurora canister filters and the temperature in the tank is 79 degrees. The lighting is two nicrew lights. This tank is home to oto catfish, cherry barbs, pearl gourami and juvenile angelfish, mostly Philippine blue angelfish besides one standard marbled. There is also 2 mystery snails and a nerite snail. The cherry barbs often show breeding behavior and dance around. 2 of my pearl gourami have double feeler/pelvic fins, so instead of 1 on each side they have 2 on each side, I bought them that way. The most recent additions to this tank was the Philippine blue angelfish.
I originally planned to add driftwood to this tank but the plants ended up taking over. A lot of people call this tank a forest

This aquarium is 72 inches long 24 inches high and 24 inches wide. It has 8 orange/brown cameta wild caught discus; couple of wc blue rams and a hefty school of 20-30 cardinals tetra. Also if you look with a flashlight under the drift wood you might spot the L397. They have been in this aquarium for approx 12 months. At time of this picture just after a water change the temp was 82.1 the ec was 21 and the ph 4.9. Before the water change the temp was 81.8 the ec was 23 and the ph was 5.1 so obviously the water change had an impact.

This is my 300ltr Discus tank, lightly planted with Amazon swords , 2 pcs of bog wood , filtered by a Fluval 407, internal power filter with only floss and a sunset surface skimmer.
It is my entry for tank of the month.

This is my 40G Breeder nature-ishb style that I've had since May, so it's about 5 months old. And in that time the wood has only floated up once. I have a male goldeneye cichlid, 5 bronze cory catfish, 6 neon tetras, and 6 ember tetras. Water parameters are 6.5pH, 60ppm TDS, and I keep it right around 78F. I dose my java ferns and anubias with Aquarium Co-op's Easy Green 4 times a week (weekly dosage divided by 4), Seachem potassium 4 times, and Seachem trace once a week. I'm currently running a Twinstar lighting system and a Fluval 407 for filtration. I try to do water changes weekly and feed my fish every other day.
