100 gal divided acrylic tank
Started working on this a couple of days ago. 2 days ago I put a layer of peat on each side of the tank with just enough water to cover it. Let it set a couple of days. Today I added the layer of pool filter sand. One thing I like about this sand is you don't have to rinse it. Just finished putting water in it, not quite full as I want to plant it first.
Here are the first pics   Water is crystal clear!

Both sides will be pleco tanks and nothing else in them.

Re: 100 gal divided acrylic tank
There will be plants and wood for the plecos and plenty of caves because as there will be a breeding group of 14 panaque maccus on one side and a breeding group of 12 to 14 L129's on the other.

Re: 100 gal divided acrylic tank
Susan, why do you put the peat under the sand? Is it to lower the ph or something like that? Will the peat decay over time?

Re: 100 gal divided acrylic tank
The peat will lower the ph some, but the main reason is for the plants. They seem to like it real well.

Re: 100 gal divided acrylic tank
Here is a new pic of the tank, Lots of wood, caves and fish are in there. Wish they would make a few appearances. Still need to hang the light and add another one.

Re: 100 gal divided acrylic tank
They are doing good, still got to cap off the back bulkheads so I can raise the water.
