Hey all, just wanted to share some pics of my JBJ 180 tank that I got a few weeks ago. I saw it on sale at a LFS and couldn't resist because it was so unique looking. It's an 8 gallon half cylinder all-in-one with top mounted filtration and an 11W PC light, perfect for a low light planted tank. Substrate is pool filter sand, and I added a Stealth heater. Inhabitants include 2 peacock gudgeons, 5 pygmy hatchetfish, a few cherry shrimp, and 3 otocinculus (I'm growing these out until they're large enough to move to the 120 gallon).

Anyway, here are the pics. Excuse my lack of camera skills.

Day of setup:


Light and filtration system:


Filtration system- it's an adjustable spraybar aimed at the media tray:

I'm looking forward to the plants growing in.

Very cool tank.. have to say Ive seen a lot of tanks, but never that type before. It looks great!

Thanks everyone!

I don't think they have been available for very long. I had never seen one before I went to that LFS- glad I bought it during their huge annual sale!

Its very nice and a nice space saver as well.

Nice looking tank, never heard to fish gonna right now

I appreciate the kind words, guys!

lousieg55- if you mean the peacock gudgeons, they are SWEET. I'd recommend them for any peaceful community tank where they can't be eaten. My lousy photography skills do them absolutely no justice- they are stunning in person.

Love the tank! You have a very interesting stocklist. It must be very fun to watch

Wow, I've never seen anything like that! You did some nice things with it, too. I love pennywort--just got some a week or more ago and I love it. The peacock gudgeon does look beautiful! Are they schooling fish?

harpua2002

It definitely is. The gudgeons are really active and hang out in all levels of the tank.

They don't really school. They act a lot like apistos to me.


Sorry to interject on your thread hun...
