I was checking out the latest on different forums and read one of your comments, Marcos.
Anyway, at the bottom there is a link to a video of your loach tank.
WOW WOW WOW
that tank is BEAUTIFUL!
The combination of rocks, tubes and I guess that is driftwood at the top? Is just lovely. Strange to see that discus in there with all those lively loaches, but it is a nice bit of balance...and just a touch of plants. Everything is lovely and the focus in on the FISH! (Plus I love that LOACH painting above the tank. Did you paint it yourself, or have someone do it for you
perfect!!!

Now THIS is my next inspiration! (I have ordered a 125gallon tank for the living room and have been searching for some inspiration)
THANKS! :D :D :D

Thanks for the nice words glenna!

Just added some new shots on my tank post. Just follow the link bellow.

As Dunga was saying, a few people in Brazil got some inspiration on my tank (he included :twisted: ) but what he do not know is that I have inspired myself to do the last change on my tank from his:

The Loach picture was given to me as a gift. There are pictures of it on my tank post as well:

About the Discus, he now lives on the other tank (200 L) with other 3.

No canisters here yet. They are very expensive. I think they are not worth it.

the inspiration I was saying was the use of the Koralia pump instead of the rivertank manifold.
