130 gallon planted tank

[Phalloceros]

The tank is looking stable, the plant growth is good, crypts are growing in nicely

I added a wave maker that does about 3000l/h

and I found these bottles at my local garden shop, I think they’re pretty funny

 

[Phalloceros]

Placed the wave maker on the right side of the tank, this way the top of the tank gets a lot of flow but the bottom less (better for the cichlids)

fish in the tank right now:
15 black ruby barb
15 yo-yo loach
2 bristlenose pleco
6 Siamese algae eater
3 firemouth cichlid
3 jewel of Panama cichlid

Ive got a similar size set up with cichlids etc and debating whether to add a wave maker/circulation pump or not.

How you finding the tank since you added the wave maker? Fish ok with the extra flow

My fish seem to be doing just fine

At the moment I have
2 firemouth
2 amatitlania altoflava
X Endlers
10 limia perugiae
X black ruby barb
X yo-yo loaches
4bristlenose plecos
5 L66

what do you guys think would work well in my 120gallon tank? Preferably I would make a community with the Limia, Amatitlania, and some of the catfish. Any suggestions?

does X mean 10?

x could mean an unknown yet to be defined quantity. Basically they might not have any yet and might be thinking 8, 10, 20, etc

x means of unknown quantity as in Expert. Ex is of unknown quantity and a spurt is a drip under pressure, so an Expert is a drip under pressure of unknown quantity.

I take my pics with my iPhone X, the plecos are about 6 inches now

The tank is still going, I have it at room temperature now, moved some fish and made it more a community tank. I got some of my favorites: Danios.

Inhabitants right now are some loners that I either rescued or are leftover from a larger group, swordtails, catfish, a rainbow shark, and 3 types of Danios.
