well, after a short hiatus and selling most of my tanks and almost all of my fish, I am back! I bought a 450 gallon tank around Xmas. I bought it used from someone in Michigan. The dimensions are 72"x48"x30". After painting the back black and setting her up, I filled it with water and did a little aquascaping the day after Xmas. This past Wednesday I got the first inhabitants delivered from W. Virginia....3 Cichla monoculus ' Lake Diamante'. So it has begun. Right now I plan on putting many varietied of peacock bass in the tank, a widebar datnoid, and a tigrinus catfish. This may change a little as we go, as I do want to get a leopoldi ray in there as well, but here are a few picks to get started.

The tank sitting in my garage on it's front, after the back was painted.
