Talking Just my 30 Gallon bn Pleco Breeding Tank

Hey everyone, Im just posting these pics up for the people that helped me get all of the setup right.


this is all the goodies that came with the tank. Payed $40 cash for everything. In the pic is 2 Penguin (type unknown) filters, top and lid, lighting system, ornament, and a 200W heater.


the tank after I cleaned it all out. Last guy that used it had saltwater so I used diluted bleach and a sponge to scrub it clean. looked really nice after.


my mode of filling the tank with water from my established 55 gal and then getting it into the other room . I just put a rug on my longboard and put the tank on, filled it with 15 gal of water and wheeled that sucker back to my other room.


I used playsand for a substrate and it got pretty stirred up after I added water to the tank, it was foggy for about 3 days.


filters on back




shots of the tank after I put some ornaments in it.


theres Spike my male Albino starlight bristlenose XD



Thanks to all that have given me advice and a special thanks goes to Susancat for all her help with getting the tank perfect for my plecos.
Thanks for looking
