Well I have finally set up my first real tank. I am so excited! I have taken many pictures along the way and am here to show them to you. This is my first experience with fish pictures so go easy. I will keep the post runnign throughout the life of my tank and keep eveyone updated. It has been a stressful and rewarding process. Enjoy!! :thumb:

Here is after I cleaned it out and brought it in on March 30th

This is a pic of the jets and egg crate in place

My fish arrived!
This was my acclimation process. They were in two buckets and a tub. Only one cyprichromis was a DOA

Why do you do this to me? *wants gobies so bad but his planned 29gallon tank is too small, and so is the 30 gallon he's contemplating buying from a guy at the local fish club*

-Rick (the armchair aquarist, who loves those goby pics, and really can't afford to go buy a 40 breeder but might do it anyways)

The plants are all fake. I think I may buy some more small hairgrass.

Rick, I would go for the 40 breeder :thumb: Gobies are definately worth it.

Thanks so far everyone
